【 smooth hair physics for x&y ! 】live2d step-by-step guide

my poor attempt at teaching hair physics lol

today's lesson is... hair physics (duh)! here i do both x and y hair physics, i think it really makes a model... juicy :D i also show some things i tweaked on my model but i completely forgot to do shadows (again). i think it should be pretty self explanatory though!

i show 4 different methods of rigging it, but i don't do any skinning !! my techniques are basically skinning though (but with way more work) also we are on live2d cubism 4.2.03 now! the most recent update was just big fixes and minor changes though, so don't worry too much about it. i hope this helps you guys out!!!

Hands down these have been the best tutorials iv ever seen👌🏽

[eisrynn]

Omg, I can't believe I survived rigging so so many layers of hair. I love the jellyfish effect!! Took me a bit to understand it, but in the end I got it. Thanks for these tutorials!

[TheWeeklyWolf]

The timing on this tutorial is sooo good, Ive been following your tutorial from start to finish, cant wait to animate the hair!

[darnables]

This has been so helpfull!! im so close to finishing my rig as i had learned everything from your tutorials, i find yours easier to follow along with and im so glad that its not just a time laps from start to finish, super easy to follow!!

[somniskadi]

i used these tutorials when I created my first model and now i'm back again for a refresher for my second model. thanks so much for making these so easy to understand, and a super, super big thank you for the constant ctrl+a reminders! you have saved my work so often with that 😊

[KeiraKarton]

Wanna add something to 20:15 : You can actually use VtubeStudios tracking in Live2D. So you dont have to export it every time you wanna see how that looks~

[angevere]

Just want to thank you for making these, I managed to get a whole rig done for the first time, thanks to your helpful and easy to follow guides! <3

[xrubypandax]

I just want to start out by saying thank you so much for going out of your way to make these tutorials! I am someone who learns/understands unusually slow and can't pick up things as quickly as the average person, which can cause someone to take advantage of me pretty easily... So I want to do this on my own, plus I have no money to pay for full fledged rigged models like most others do. 😅 I've watched others do this and could never understand anything no matter how 'simple' they put it in their terms. You get straight to the point and explain as you go which I love since I'm a visual learner aswell (once someone over explains without showing much of what they did I get lost very quickly... ). You made my dream seem more reachable/tangible than before when I thought I'd never reach it. Thank you thank you!! Hope to learn more soon!!💙💜

P.S. You gained a new subscriber ✌️😋

[myozzz]

I know im probably not gonna make a vtuber model for a WHILE, but i think this is the most clear tut ever!!

[maurapacheco]

this reminds me of being back in highschool and having my old art teacher explain digital art to me all over again! wonderful tutorial.

[mikudayofan]

omg?? I'm so glad I'm almost done rigging!! It feels so satisfying to almost be done!! <3

[hTM]

Chu back at again with another banger tutorial LETS 🤼‍♂

[Bogyfobiya]

This is just too great tutorial to give it for free. Thank you so much chupuko!

[Lianarynty]

These are honestly some of the best tutorial videos ive ever seen on youtube, thank you so much! :D ~~

[SaramewTV]

Chupuko helped me with my hair rig, I can vouch for the quality Thanks for making a video!!

[Iostinmars]

your tutorials are live thank you a lot for making them

[LittleSealPupper]

I love how you do one that's applicable for the free version

[DeerieMee]

I'm so excited to eventually use all of these tutorials!

[ArcibonPlays]

I’ve found that while using the free version I’ll use the nice warp method for the front and very visible hair and then the back and kinda hidden hair I’ll try and save my warps lol. Still looks pretty seamless and jiggly tho

[Jackalopefriday]

Thank you for another great tutorial!! 💜💜💜
The face angles seem ...okay, other than the mouth. It's kicking my tail trying to get the mouth to look right in all the different positions from all the different angles. I'd love to see an in depth tutorial on that!
