Making Live2D make sense.
Rigging • Animation • Character Art
No skipped steps. No magic buttons. 🧪

Want to practice this yourself? 🧪 I made a free Live2D parameter template to help you get started!

You can find it here: https://t.co/rtnglgvU09

Use it as a starting point and customize it for your model!

Building your first Live2D rigging template? 🧪

Don't add every parameter you see! Start with the essentials and expand as you learn.

You don't need a parameter for every movement.

Before adding one, ask:
“Does this movement need independent control?”

If not, you may be able to handle it through your deformer hierarchy instead.
More parameters ≠ better rigging.

🧪 NAO LAB // FREE RESOURCES

Learning Live2D? I made two things to help you practice:
✦ Free model for rigging practice
✦ Free Live2D parameter template

I want Nao Motion Studio to be a place where you can actually learn by doing.

🧪 NAO LAB // EXPERIMENT 001

How many parameters does a rig actually need?

I'm going to try building a functional rig with only 30 parameters.

I'm documenting the process—and probably break something along the way. 💀

Also come get a free model

If you're learning Live2D, this is what I'm building Nao Motion Studio around:

🎓 Learn the fundamentals
🔧 Build complete rigs
🩺 Diagnose problems
🧪 Experiment with different techniques
🎬 Understand animation
🛠️ Improve your workflow

Live2D beginner tip:

Parameters, deformers, and ArtMeshes aren't the same thing

Parameter: controls when/how much something moves.
Deformer: controls how it moves.
ArtMesh: the actual drawable geometry

Understanding these 3 makes Live2D much easier 🧪

One of the biggest things I want to change about learning Live2D:

Knowing how to follow a tutorial isn't the same as knowing how to rig.

If the model changes, the settings change, or something breaks, you should understand enough to figure out what happened.

Welcome to Nao Motion Studio! 🧪

I'm building a space for vartists who want to learn about rigging and not be punished as beginners by gatekeeping certain skills or putting them behind paywalls! 😡

Stay tuned for more! 🧪🛠️
