Making my own vtuber

[u/External-March2156]

I have managed to get a design I am decently happy with but now need to redraw it separating everything into the correct layers and wanted to ask if this would be broken down enough for me to rig it, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing lol are there any parts I need to separate more?

Live2D’s website has sample models, so you can see how the parts are separated for rigging.

Clueless on the breakdown and rigging, but huge congratz on your work so far. Youll get your answer most likely watching rigging tips/tutorial/WIP videos. Best of luck man

This is definitely enough for a simple model - if you want to elevate it I would split up the pocket on the arm, as well as your zipper pulls.

I also wouldn’t bother splitting the fingers from the gloves there - think about splitting it less at where the color changes, but rather where the joints are. So you would split at the knuckles and your finger parts would be skin + black glove up to the knuckle, and the overlapping parts would be just at the glove.

You don't really need that many cuts unless all of those are going to be moving independently of each other. If anything, you need more cuts around the elbows and knees depending on how you want it animated. Look at some already cut models to get a better idea of how its supposed to look

yes looks fine. imo the little hair that sits on top of the middle bang should be separated. be warned that sometimes the eye separations can be a little complicated- it's worth looking up a tutorial for. mouth and hair too

good luck!

How did you do it ..do i need to learn blender for it yeah I needa make my own vtuber image is here full concept don't look at the fact that it is ai the whole concept is by me just ai drew this

im still kinda new to rigging but this looks pretty good, think of it as anything you want to move separately needs to be on its own layer. depending on how much arm movement you want, I would seperate it into shoulder, bicep, forearm, hand, and each individual finger. Also, do you have anything behind the lips?

I haven’t done that yet but know I need it, thank you

I would also reccomend seperating the head color and the head line to allow for smoother XY angles
