Hello, Gems! In this video, We will be going over how to prepare a 2D VTuber for Live 2D Cubism. This also explains how to cut 2D VTuber layers up so that they will work well in Live 2D Cubism. We will eventually be moving into Prpr Live at the end of this series. This is 1 of a few-part series where I will be walking you through the whole process. This series will help you with how to become a 2D VTuber. It’s a challenging process but working with Photoshop and transitioning into Live 2D is rewarding and worth it. You can use a 2D VTuber while making content on YouTube or for streaming on Twitch.

4:44 I'm assuming that depends on what you want your avatar's resting face to be. So in theory, you could make them smile or have any other expression as long as you're happy with it being the resting expression.
Thanks
I was very overwhelmed trying to figure out how to make a character, but this made me feel like I can understand it better, so thank you!
How many pixels is the total model ? Can I create the pieces in procreate?
Awesome tutorial. thank you!
Is it not possible to create art for a character facing left and right and use those too? I want to make a V Tuber which isn't humanoid, so I couldn't be able to squash and stretch parts for when I'm looking left and right ๐
Watched like 28 other videos & can confidently say I found a GOOD ONEโผ๏ธ ๐ค๐ joined up on your discord as well. Iโm sure I will have questions ๐คช
Cmon i wanted to partecipe but the form is no longer compilable ;<
Where/How would you cut a half body or bust model?
can i ask what size is ur canvas and res?
jesus ACTUAL vid starts at 6:40
my god
omg i have been looking for a straight forward tutotial on how to cut for live2d and this is just awsome! i was really really stuggling lol thank you so much!!!
why merge everything??? thats so much more work
i think after watching 2 times im understanding. to summarize- draw like i normally would and bring them all into 1 layer. next selection/lasso each part and make it it's own group. im guessing this is so live 2d can detect resting spot and then move?
13:35 apparently it's called an "ahoge"! i also used to think it was "ahego" until i googled it and "ahegao" came up XD
anyways, thanks for the video! it's very helpful ^^
can i do this in krita ? im not using ps ever again
That part of separating the pieces seems like a pain in the a** tbh, but I'll try
Hey Gems! I'm working on an updated version of this video with my New model ~ This will be the first of several parts ๐ NEW VIDEO: ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsc1sRzxM7M
Holy hell this seems frustrating to attempt I canโt lie respect to people who did this
I dont know if you realize it but your thumbnail really makes it seem like you're either working on Harukas model as the artist or you're doxxing her with a face reveal.. its really misleading clickbait
This is sooo good, liked, subcribed and commented ๐ you have such good pace and knowledge in your videos!
Would you be able to separate the layers in Procreate as you draw it and then upload it into Photoshop to cut some time? Or would that not work? Super helpful video by the way ๐
This is the best tutorial video ever seen
This is really helpful since I want to have my own model that I draw myself to use

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Though, I would like to ask if I could also do this on Clip Studio Paint. I'm pretty new to all these digital drawing stuff and I don't know anything about Photoshop so… Do you think I'd be able to do all of this on Clip Studio?
First, thank you for this tutorial. Second, Is it possible to use procreate for making 2d models? Like, can I make everything on IPad then import it onto my computer?
thank you! i'm cutting up a charat model so i can rig it later and this is soooo helpful!
Oh.. i see i got into way over my head. I did not realize that i had to basically fill in everything behind hair and such.
But this is the only way my social anxiety ass can get into streaming and all that jazz so fuck it here we go lol.
So wot if you use paint tool sai to draw your character on
Would that work?
do i need to have them all on 1 layer or can i just have a layer for each part im confused?
Can I use fire alpaca to draw my avatar?
Does this work also with procreate qwq?
is it possible to use photopea instead of photoshop?
Super helpful video!!! Do you know what the canvas size should be?
Fire Alpaca works!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! Could I just draw everything on individual layers though?
thank you very much!!!
