Do you have any tips for someone who wants to start rigging simple models and stuff?? i know basic live 2d but i really wanna make a new prettier model for myself!

ok so first of all i hate recommending joining discord servers BUT for better or worse the live2d community server is by far one of the best places to get resources, including a channel that's basically full of various tips n tricks.

there is also a LOT of good advice out there on twitter and i highly recommend following larger live2d artists cuz they're usually very happy to share any tutorials or tips

now then i will put down a bunch of shit i've bookmarked over the years under the cut here

lena's guide to making a very simple vtuber in 5 minutes (you should absolutely do an easy project first, something with not that many parts!!!!!)

nonon_yuno's basic mouth guide (this artist in particular posts a lot of tutorials)

nonon_yuno's slightly more complicated mouth guide and also how i learned how to add mouth toggles (so i can switch between :) and :3) (you do it by having a third parameter that you add after finishing the :) mouth. you don't HAVE to do :) type mouth first but i've found it's easier to edit afterwards)

Koziichu's mouth guide (this is the main guide I use)

Fennryn's guide to head XY angles

Cherrichu's $5 Live2d separation study file (also cherri is a fellow cringie RawrXD member and you should support her!!!)

Yoshinoart's guide to body X

Briatcookiebox's eye physics

Cat athenya's guide to animal ears

CutieDragon's guide to expressive animal ears

xaconite's guide to hair cutting

Kira Omori's guide to cutting Live2d models for beginners

Kira Omori's guide to hair and boob physics (Kira has a lot of good tutorials on her YT channel!)

i wasn't able to find an exact tweet about it BUT you can copy paste forms which makes doing XY angles a lot easier!!!! (ctrl shift c to copy and ctrl shift v to paste. apparently this is a pro feature only)

Cillia's live2d study model (make sure u read TOS! also it's paid (3000 yen) but well worth it for the study material)

CutieDragon's how to view animation in physics window

CutieDragon's way to add depth to your head turns

PeachnKey's way of making a tear animation

Moki's guide to animating tails

Koziichu's guide to getting the most out of your tracking

CutieDragon's guide to making expressions in VTube Studio (you still need to make the specific parameters in live2d itself)

Yoshinoart's guide to glue

Enma Akatsuki's guide to arms

BriatCookiebox's reminder that temporary path deformation exists (temp warp deformation also exists, amongst others)

Momoiro's guide to meshing objects to help them look more 3d

anyway that's all i can find off the top of my head but yeah. in my experience other live2d artists have been very welcoming in helping newbies out and that's why i specifically recommend the community discord!!!!!!!
