What kind of models can be created?

MrBoolean

Hey I'm new here! I was wondering if it were possible to use Live2D to generate models from 2D art, and then rig them for different types of movement? For example, I would have some psd of some sort than generate a model, then I would try to rig it(if its possible) to animate a run, jump, action animation for a platform game. Would it be possible to achieve that? I use Unity3D, C#, and Visual Studio for reference. Any help is appreciated!

Hi MrBoolean,

You should be do everything you want to do. Here are good places to start:

English tutorials by evangelist Katherine:

(You can find more videos on YouTube)

User manual with many videos (although a bit outdated)
http://sites.cybernoids.jp/cubism_e/

New feature videos (like psd import function)

Thanks, what youtube channel do you recommend? I'm trying to find as much English tutorials as possible.

There aren't too many English tutorials available on YouTube, but whatever you see/read, I'd strongly recommend checking out recent ones because Cubism Editor v.2 has been a major update with new powerful features (like psd import) which the previous didn't have.

Okay cool, I did find some and saved on YouTube, did NamcoBandai use this for Tales of Xillia? I noticed the models in that game has a similar style to some of the showcase models.
