Worked on this model during stream today! 💜✨

I think she’ll end up being about 10-15 procreate files, I’ve added a lot of glitter and dynamic lighting 🫠

Normally, riggers try to avoid physics parameters hitting their limits during motion to prevent a jolting feel, but this characteristic can also be used intentionally to create movements that fit a retro electronic aesthetic. I also used blendshapes to control the visible range of different effects.
Overall, this effect would be much easier to achieve with keyframe animation, but animation would never stop.
What I found fun about rigging this part was actually achieving it through physics-driven behavior.

If you add your Angle X group as a positional output to your Tracking Z group...

And your Angle Z group as a positional output to your Tracking X group...

You get: A wiggly tanuki! 🦝☕ [#Live2D WIP]

I love using augmented angles in Live2D by feeding my head and body movements into eachother's physics groups like one big ouroboros (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I haven't refined the art mesh or added physics yet, so this is just a "sketch" of the body movement! 💚

Live2D head rotation! 👹💚

Still WIP, but almost ready for physics! I can't wait to rig that earring (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I forgot that the new algorithm doesn't like it if you don't post daily, so I dug up some of my favourite portraits 🤍

My Live2D waitlist will be full, so I won't have a chance to draw more of these for a while... But I'm feeling sentimental about them 🌠

Whenever I rig a model, my favourite way to test the expressiveness is to hit the dokibird face 🏆

Hair physics WIP! ⭐🩵
Her hairstyle is so cute and fluffy ☁ (❁´◡`❁)

I think I included too many emotes, because the reach on this tanked 🥺

The new algorithm will take some getting used to!

I made my child a sitting toggle, without using any additional art pieces! ❤🦇

Since the body movement was not rigged using blendshapes, I rigged oppositional body movements using blendshapes and weighted those instead, so when she sits her movement is limited (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
