Live2D Cubism

Creating professional-grade animations requires specialized software that can withstand the challenges of such a complex task. Created by animation experts, Live2D Cubism has already been used to create animated characters for various mobile applications, games, and videos.

Live2D Cubism accepts multi-layer 2D designs in PSD format as input, allowing you to process them using a wide range of tools. It features both modeling and animating capabilities, allowing you to generate videos and GIF images, as well as interactive character animations that can be used in games or other applications.

Each layer of the input file is mapped with polygons to build the primary artmesh in Live2D Cubism. You can play with keyforms and use the application's deformation toolbox to alter the artmesh and create motion, all without compromising the design's quality.

The deformer panel comprises a list of all the motions, regardless of the layer they are applied to. Live2D Cubism comes with tools for generating dynamic motion, surface deforming, and rotation effects. Combining them in hierarchy enables you to obtain realistic animations for your characters. Moreover, you can synthesize corners and tamper with the parameters to a much broader extent.

Aside from motion control options, Live2D Cubism also comes with an automatic mesh generator and a texture library, collision detection capabilities for genuine physics effects, shape editing, scene blending, and more.

With a lot more to be discovered, Live2D Cubism is worth a try, even if you are not an expert graphic designer. Its assortment of motion effects and control tools, the array of ready-to-use templates, and its lip syncing capabilities make it a reliable animation creator. And, what's more, the package integrates an SDK specifically designed for Unity, which enables you to work with the most important gaming platforms.
