Hi I'm a #Live2D animator and I love exploring new possibilities with this medium
Here are some of my favorite pieces from what I've worked so far!

5.3 is usable, feel free to use it! You just need to do a little more steps until VTS fully support it

They should've filter out incompatible blending modes π No point to list them when you can't use them

I made this visual guide for Live2D Discord because there's lots of posts asking about VTS compatibility issues with Live2D 5.3, as expected

Reminder that the new Live2D 5.3 features are still NOT compatible with VTS and likely will not be for a while yet (like... several more months minimum probably).
You can still use the new editor features and QoL stuff so long as you make sure you're still using the 5.0 SDK.

It's fairly easy, right click at specific frame in the timeline then add an Event marker on it
The hard part however finding a plugin that loads that event to do things

There's one Live2D feature that I wish would get used often: Custom Events.
Imagine a trigger at specific time of animation. You can have it play sounds, set post visual effects or even change OBS scenes.
This feature is supported by VTS API, but few mainstream plugins is taking advantage of it

you can add perspective to a flat image pretty easily by using a perspective transform and then adding a vanishing point. then, simply move features along the vanishing point lines and add whatever is needed to maintain the form and look right

I'm more a do-it-myself guy but if the PSD is very barebone (sloppily cut) I would either charge for correction or decline the comms. The latter happens most often

Been a Live2D rigger for a few years now and Iβm curious how others handle this.
How do you usually handle PSDs that arenβt Live2D ready?
Fix it yourself and adjust price/ETA, or work with someone else to further prepare the PSD for Live2D?

I would say Parameter Controller is their major offering, it offers more efficient ways to control multiple parameters without having to hack physics setup

they don't, although it's nothing groundbreaking there's already plenty of 2D packing library out there (libnest2d comes to mind)

Bluesky works differently than other social media services, moderation of content is mostly a user driven process. A label is a notation placed on content or on an account that allows other users to filter that content.
