Making a Live2D model 3-4

-

 Step 3: Setting parameters

Once the deformation has been adjusted, the parameters and key points should be set in the corresponding data fields.

These parameters decide the angle of the face, opening and closing of the eyes, orientation of the pupils of the eyes, transformation of eyebrows, deformation and opening and closing of the mouth, the angle of the body, movements of the body etc. Also, it is possible to create your own parameters for modification.

Step 4: Animating for movements

The last step is to create animation for movements. 

Switch to Animation mode from Model mode and choose the selection SDK(Unity) to create model animation for Unity. Drag the model from Project to Timeline, then make animations like in Flash by changing parameters and adding keyframes.

Switch to Graph Editor mode in Timeline, in this mode, it is also possible to edit the value and position of keyframes. Dragging on the timeline to select multiple keyframes brings up a box where can control the interval between keyframes by adjusting the amplitude of the curve.

Once finished animating the movements, export as a moc file and ready to apply them in Unity.

Live2D Model Video

-
  Here is the presentation video of the Live2D model I make. Because of the absence of body painting, the overall expression of the model is a little bit weak. This model is accompanied by six expressions: standby, snooze, wake up, wink, laugh and sob. I imported it into a scene similar to a text adventure game for presentation. This is also the genre in which most Live2D models are applied.
