live2d moved their alpha feedback channel from discord to their official forum, and after two weeks theres barely any comments... last year people would have spoken their thoughts from the day one on discord

Thinking if I should start doing Youtube... I'm always been interested to cover specific Live2D topics instead of making another tutorial series. Any ideas what should I start with?

Nahh it's okay I made that diagram for a pitch deck anyway lol So I'm assuming it's not possible over VNet still?

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 14/06/2026

It's directly connected to the PC, basically the person is interacting with VTube Studio window. Although it's not a necessity since the plugin reads touch as OS cursor input

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 14/06/2026

Hope this diagram helps lol I'm making a plugin that allows people to interact with Vtuber models over touch panels. I'm not sure if the plugin will work on VNet because I'm assuming the model then will be loaded as a guest and API has no access to it

110

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 14/06/2026

True, but in my case I need to control the model with VTS API on the host PC and I'm not sure if it'll work in VNet session That and with VPNs the Vtuber can just connect with their phone without PC or Steam running

000

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 14/06/2026

I'm just thinking the logistic will be simpler since the other end won't require a PC or Steam to connect Also the main thing is VTS API, I don't think it has access to control models in VNet session. Haven't checked though

110

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 14/06/2026

Curious has anyone ever attempted tracking VTuber models over VPN? Instead of screensharing video, you are streaming tracking inputs over network to the remote host PC running Vtube Studio. I wonder if it's reliable for use in public events

For You is based on your likes in the last 90 days. It looks like you haven't liked anything for that long and that's why For You is empty. Try liking a couple of posts elsewhere (search?) and open For You again.

Hi Bsky 👋 My Live2D model public comms is now open! I'm interested in working on more posed models or models with custom animations. If that sounds like what you're up to, I'd love to see it! Regular full/half body are accepted too Slots are limited, apply below!

5.3 is usable, feel free to use it! You just need to do a little more steps until VTS fully support it

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 27/01/2026

They should've filter out incompatible blending modes 😭 No point to list them when you can't use them

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 26/01/2026

I made this visual guide for Live2D Discord because there's lots of posts asking about VTS compatibility issues with Live2D 5.3, as expected

Reminder that the new Live2D 5.3 features are still NOT compatible with VTS and likely will not be for a while yet (like... several more months minimum probably). You can still use the new editor features and QoL stuff so long as you make sure you're still using the 5.0 SDK. #Live2D

I actually would expect them at cons! I love getting them as well giving them out

Last time I used it they're bbased on parameter values

It's fairly easy, right click at specific frame in the timeline then add an Event marker on it The hard part however finding a plugin that loads that event to do things

020

Ran 🐲 Live2D Animator @pixelvertice.com · 09/01/2026

There's one Live2D feature that I wish would get used often: Custom Events. Imagine a trigger at specific time of animation. You can have it play sounds, set post visual effects or even change OBS scenes. This feature is supported by VTS API, but few mainstream plugins is taking advantage of it

you can add perspective to a flat image pretty easily by using a perspective transform and then adding a vanishing point. then, simply move features along the vanishing point lines and add whatever is needed to maintain the form and look right

I'm more a do-it-myself guy but if the PSD is very barebone (sloppily cut) I would either charge for correction or decline the comms. The latter happens most often

Been a Live2D rigger for a few years now and I’m curious how others handle this. How do you usually handle PSDs that aren’t Live2D ready? Fix it yourself and adjust price/ETA, or work with someone else to further prepare the PSD for Live2D? Art by @pairidaez67

5.4 early test is scheduled this summer, 5.3 will enter stable version this month

I would say Parameter Controller is their major offering, it offers more efficient ways to control multiple parameters without having to hack physics setup

they don't, although it's nothing groundbreaking there's already plenty of 2D packing library out there (libnest2d comes to mind)

Not using folder at all might be even worse, I think the Editor UI iterates objects in view based on Parts folders. If you have no folder at all it's going to iterate through everything which could add lag in view
