What to Expect
Artist and UNM-Taos FDMA 2D Animation/Digital Illustration instructor Hunter Tripp (NadoHunterArt in our Artist Alley) will give a short basic demonstration of basic rigging of characters for 2.5 Animation in Live2D – a software commonly used to set up animation that works with face tracking for VTubers or basic animation for visual novel style games.
About Live 2d
Live2D is a software for breaking 2D drawings apart and deforming/moving many layers to give the illusion of 3D movement- often referred to as 2.5D animation el style games.
Most VTubers are created using Live2D, giving a way for individuals to express themselves in a whole new way using “personas” that are designed and rigged to track their real life movements for the purpose of streaming and other content creation
