Class Highlights
From a Single PNG to a Debut-Ready VTuber Model
Start with one PNG illustration and finish a VTuber model that runs smoothly in VTube Studio. This course isn’t about memorizing buttons—it’s about learning a reliable, repeatable process that helps you produce a model that’s controllable, responsive, and ready for livestreaming. Even if you’re starting from zero, you’ll be able to complete a first project that meets a commission-ready standard. By the end, you’ll have a polished character with clean visuals, natural motion, and the confidence to debut—or start taking paid work.
A Complete, Commercial-Grade Live2D Rigging Workflow
A lot of learners drop out mid-project because the workflow feels confusing and hard to organize. Meiyu condenses hands-on experience from building 200+ models into a clear, step-by-step pipeline you can follow from start to finish. Using a single character as your guide, you’ll go from artwork prep and layer separation to mesh setup, rigging, physics, and VTS(VTube Studio) tuning—so you not only know what to do, but when to do it. With the right order and priorities, you’ll avoid rework, build professional instincts faster, and confidently take any model all the way to completion.
Blink, Sway, React. Create a Character That Instantly Wins People Over
The best moment is when your character starts moving and suddenly feels alive. You'll learn how to craft natural blinks, gentle idle motion, and detailed adjustments that make the model respond smoothly to your input. We'll also show you how to add crowd-favorite touches—like animal ears and tails, fun expression swaps, and other charming details—so your model doesn't just "move," it captures attention the moment it appears on screen. Watching your character truly come to life in your hands is one of the most satisfying parts of Live2D—and you'll feel that moment for yourself.
