Cherry Soda VTubers

Cherry Soda VTubers

Cherry and Soda are VTuber twins (2D, real-time face-tracking models) commissioned by a local high school to encourage students to share their feelings. Students can submit anonymous thoughts that they wish their peers, parents, or teachers knew to be read by either VTuber in a weekly announcement video on the school website.

Takeaways

This project helped me learn the basics of rigging. My knowledge in Live2D can now be applied to other animation programs. After Effects’ puppet pins/warp tool, for instance, functions much the same way as Live2D’s mesh warp. The layer/material separation required for animating Live2D characters is similar to the kind of thinking required to fake 3D animation with 2D shape layers, as required when animating characters in After Effects with a plugin such as Duik Angela.
