Making Illustrations and Rigs for Character Movement and Efficient Creation
The quality of a Live2D character and how fast you can create it all depend on the modeling and rigging methods. More importantly, to make the rigging process easier, you need to split a character into parts considering its 3D movement.
Find out how to create illustrations for rigging in Live2D, instead of focusing only on details.

LUNYA
After creating character concept art at a game company from 2018,
I now work as a freelance illustrator for clients from Korea and abroad.
Although virtual illustrations must always be made considering the rigging process, it is hard to gain in-depth knowledge about rigging as an illustrator, which is something I struggled with too.
Using feedback from riggers, I could discover a more efficient process of creating virtual illustrations, and I'd like to share it in full with those who are interested in Live2D, want to design their own virtual characters, or are good at drawing but have never made a virtual illustration, providing detailed and useful guidance.
Rigger
Noahh
I have created rigs for over 130 virtual characters, including Acau, Ryu and Onyu of RE:REVOLUTION, and Bomi of "MapleStory M." I also collaborate with streamers, YouTubers, and companies in various fields.
I fell in love with virtual characters at first sight, which led me to quit my previous job and join this field. But since there are not many opportunities to learn rigging in Korea, I went through a lot of trial and error as well. I hope the experience and expertise I gained through such difficulties can serve as useful guidance for you.

Question.01
Who do you recommend this class to?

ㆍ or have given up making Live2D characters due to the lack of learning resources.

Question.02
What are the advantages of using Live2D Cubism?
The program allows you to create 3D characters that are not overly realistic while keeping the form and texture of the original illustration. In particular, you can split a character into parts to move each area in a sophisticated way, and as you get used to the process, you'll be able to create even more high-quality and natural movement.
Live2D also works smoothly with face-tracking programs, making it easier to try something fun, like turning your character into a virtual YouTuber.

Question.03
Does it require expensive programs and devices to learn virtual rigging?
Virtual rigging mainly consists of creating a model with Live2D Cubism and tracking its movement with VTube Studio.
As for Cubism, you can use the pro version for free on a trial basis for 42 days, and for around 10,000 won per month after that if you purchase the annual plan. Or, you may use the free version, although it may not support some features. Students, including university students, can also get a 76% discount for three years.
Likewise, VTube Studio is available both as a free version and a paid version, which costs 15,500 won and offers lifetime access. The only difference is a tool for removing watermarks.
The details regarding free trial and prices are subject to change. Please check out the official channels for more detailed information.

Question.04
How complicated is the process of creating a Live2D character?
If you study it all on your own, the process may feel confusing and difficult. However, once you learn how to split a character into parts and organize layers, as well as tips for each stage, creating Live2D characters will feel quite simple.
This class also focuses on exploring ways to improve work efficiency, so please look forward to that as well!
