Ren's experiments

renoa

hello!
i've been into Live2D for a while, and i've learned a lot since i knew about the technology about two years ago
here are some of the characters i created using Cubism, with varying degrees of polish because we all learn one step at a time!
the most recent one: a sketchy vampire (literally )


cat ears and scrubs??? a character for a visual novel i'm (supposed to be) working on



this one is i don't even know man let's not talk about it


i've got a couple i uploaded to my youtube channel and instagram, once i figure out the system of this forum i'll try to post them ^^ they might have some interesting points!

That last one made me laugh quite a lot lol. The first one looks absolutely amazing too!

Looking great!

How long does it take you to animate an expression? And a full character's set of animations?

hello friend!
glad they made you laugh, i gigglesnort every time i see the one in the back and i had to watch them get made xD
all of my projects yet were short movies and visual novel sprites (in fact, i think i've seen you on lemmasoft! ) so i don't have a character with a check list set of requested animations
i did one with a countdown timer to see how long it takes, and this one took me about 17 minutes (and 17 seconds lmao) :




this one took longer, though, more than half an hour because i couldn't decide how naturally i wanted the shutter to close

The first animation looks awesome! And the second one from the bottom has this cool hand animation.
The three guys somehow remind me of Michael Jackson...

Great animations! I like those cat ears and eye shutter. Keep it up!

thanks a lot Wai!

in another thread i had a problem with masking, and thanks to the help of other users i was able to solve the problem and export a nifty effect


in this gif i can see a little bit of the parts outline when the hair moves but it was easy to fix by making the opacity of the hair parts at 0%.

Great work! I love the look of your line drawings in animation :] Would be cool to see a visual novel or something with that style.

wow renoa this looks great! I really love the sketchy characters, looks very unique. And that face floating in space, amazing effect! Are you using the clip ID to achieve that?

i used the suggestion from this thread ^^
it uses two copies of the background, one in the back, and another on top of the part you want hidden (the bangs) and clipping it!

hey thanks a lot mate!
i hope one day it'll be possible for me XD i'm working on a VN now but i don't think my characters will move, i'm just using live2d to generate all the expressions and poses since the story is super short
it IS NaNoRenMo this March! time to get those novels started\finished!
