Multi-Style Character Illustration & Art Separation Techniques
Learn how to prepare character illustrations for different proportions and styles. By understanding how to properly separate and structure artwork, you’ll build a solid foundation for creating highly expressive Live2D models.
Tool Explanations with Hands-On Practice
Get familiar with commonly used features and terminology in Live2D Cubism through practical exercises. Learning the tools within a real production workflow makes the concepts easier to understand and lowers the barrier for beginners.
Model Creation from Basics to Advanced
Gradually build more complex model structures while learning practical techniques that improve depth, flexibility, and natural movement in your Live2D models.
Live2D Animation Editing Practice
Use the animation editor in Live2D Cubism to create idle animations and short performance animations, expanding the ways your model can be used.
Creating Special Expressions and Hotkeys
Enhance your model’s interactivity by adding toggle expressions and custom hotkey triggers, allowing for more dynamic and expressive character performances.
Facial Tracking Setup & Model Delivery Workflow
Learn the full process of preparing and delivering a finished model, including facial tracking setup and testing.
Using VTube Studio together with VBridger, the course demonstrates how to test and fine-tune tracking, helping you understand the complete pipeline from model creation to live streaming.
