Just when the world needed him the most, he came back 🙏

I'm developing horror novel game And I'm a professional coding gamedev which is why I found this tutorial useful!!! Thank you very much!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 You earn a sub

Just WOW. And how long this might has taken until the very release, OMG~~ Thank you for this super detailed, handy course and your ongoing dedication to teach!

no wonder he was not uploading often... Keep teaching its the best tutorials on renpy on the internet!

I can't believe I've seen an hour-long video without clicking away. It really speaks of your amazing editing skills and structured videos!! And it was super informative too, thank you :)

I was going through so many tutorials on Live2d all morning and getting more and more frustrated and then I stumbled on this. Just what I was looking for. Now why couldn't anyone else explain it this way so that it makes sense? Thanks for this

I animate my illustrations with Live2D for little short trailers for my novels xD And also my emotes on twitch OWO Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I get ask a lot how to use this program and now I can share your work :3

RIGHT when I’m getting into visual novel design (I’ve been making games for about two weeks now and found this guy’s tutorials to be very helpful) he came back :0

You just earned a sub, thank you very much for this in depth explanation!

HE'S BACK! WOOOOOO YEAAH BABYYYY, THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR! WOOOOOO!

The ungodly scream I left ou when I saw this notification, WELCOME BACK SIR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE SIR

Amazing! i still need to properly learn live 2d, this will come handy when i get to it, thank you so much!

This channel and your videos literally deserve at least like 10x recognition of what they have right now

WHAT THE!! How did I miss this video? Been trying to learn this on my own and you just answer ALL of my questions so casually. THANKS AGAIN!

Wow, this is really in depth, thanks for making such a great tutorial, dude!👍

This is so cool, I gotta try this out! Man, Vimi always got our back 😎

Dude, you spent so much on that skeleton! :)

I seriously appreciate how much effort you put into doing this video. I honestly cant imagine how exhausting it probably was at times, but for someone like me, who is starting from level 0, this is a great asset and resource. Seriously thank you for taking the time out of your life to make something like this to help beginners on their path. 25/10 would ren'py again

I haven't watched all of the video yet, but it is so nice to see you again! We missed you, Matt!

Finally!!... My favourite Renpy Content creator with one of the most demanded subject 🥲

thank you for your hard work vimi, great vid !!

Whoa thanks for posting new video, love this channel

This is beautifully in depth thank u

This is amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work making these videos

Incredible work, thank you for this amazing tutorial! You're killing it.

Thank you for this! I've been interested in Live2d for a while, but was overwhelmed by the technical details. This made it a lot less intimidating!

Thank you!!! My team and I were looking for exactly this!!!

1 year waiting for you to post this video and I can say that it was totally worth it. Awesome job! Thank you for the effort of making this

Love you so much, man. Welcome back! We missed you! (Although I was hoping for an update for the Action Editor video) this is ABSOLUTE GOLD. Thank you!

Holy shit this looks awesome! Skeletal animation as you've mentioned seems a lot more fun and less problematic and stressful than the process of the traditional frame by frame animations (especially for a solo dev like me who is new to Renpy and can't really draw all of the art assets myself). This process might even work perfectly well and in sync with Smack Studio's (pixel based) animation tool that can make 3D sprite art with 2D art with an auto tool that can greatly reduce issues with meshes you've mentioned at 5:00, also has frame by frame workflow, and allows you to be able to add imaginary joints and bones (that can be added to meshes like here). Downside it's only pixel based and Smack Studio goes for about $15 but it looks like the PERFECT tool to use with your process for live2D in Renpy! Maybe there's other alternatives but the showcases they do on their KZfaq with their Smack Studio pixel editor looks amazing for live2D. Also any assets made in their editor can be used for other (commercial) projects outside their game+editor. I might end up using this process and Smack Studio together for my own Renpy VN project! 😄💙🦈 This has really got me excited to developing my project now.

thanks for this!! Super helpful

thank you for this! 😄animations are always interesting to watch, I would love to see more animation tricks inside renpy.

I JUST FINISHED WATCHING ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS AND NOW YOUR BAAAAAAACK

Amazing video, thanks for your help !

Oh my gosh, you're the best!! I've been struggling with lip sync and exporting for Ren'py, this is perfect!

really good video. Please do more like this, although, I'd break it up into seperate videos for easier referencing. Thanks for keeping the community strong!

your videos are always great. I stopped doing VN long ago, but I'm glad you're helping so many people

Thank you SO much for your hard work!

This is literally EXACTLY what I was looking for, oh my god.

New content! And it's about Live2D. Yay! ❤

What a wonderfully detailed tutorial!

I've been trying to learn Live2D for my vn! Thank you so much! So helpful, as always ;0;

I learned a ton from this. Thanks for all the work that went in to putting it together.

hell yeah, welcome back!

Thanks for the video ☺️ this inspired me to make vn with animation!

Crazy, you are amazing ❤ true pro

I was wondering what was cooking lol Great content as always!

just here to say, your video is really helpful!

Yooo you come back!!

Omg, the two things I was interested the most, in a cohesive, noob friendly tutorial, just when I start picking up the videos on this channel? It's fate. Thank you so much for the great content! I'll be coming back to this video again and again!

holy shit incredible video tutorial

Thank you! :)

Welcome back

This video came at the perfect time, I was just looking into learning live2d for my project, thank you

Welcome back!

awesome, I just needed a tutorial about this! thx subscribe

ahhh live2D! i know basics in it from back when i made my Vtuber and while i tend to not like the look of character sprites with live2D for VNs ive been considering using it for other features and me and a friend of mine have been experimenting with animating bugs in it. it works really well! i skipped around a bit during the live2D tutorial since it's mostly stuff i knew but your explanations are VERY good and this is probably the best tutorial ive seen for it.

This is really cool, thanks for the videoes

Waiting on the edge of my seat for the next video, this is gold

Ok it means you alive 😂

I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT THIS LAST NIGHT WOAH

Dang this is a new one on me ... looks pretty radical ^.^

Thank you for your video. I learned that I definitely would not want animation for the very first VN

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you so much!

We missed you bro

Wahoooo ty

Hi! I'm new to this channel and I'm so grateful that I discovered you please keep it up! I have a question, you probably have answered this before or maybe you already have a video according to it(I would gladly watch it if that's the case hihi)... Do you have a suggestion or recommendation on character facial expressions or actions? Or like mannerisms?? That's all. Thankyouu! hihi

Мы ждали вашего возвращения полгода, сэр

Happy to see you again! I wonder if there's a way a similar integration between Blender and Renpy

welp, ill be fiddling with live2d for the next few months. lol. Reallly Appreciate it Danny

I thing I want use this thing for the personage but is a fantastic thing for the button and many other thing

Woo!

This is an amazing technology and an amazing video! Thank you so much! I thought I was on top of technology by using AI art for my games, but now the question is how to integrate it into Live2d and that's a whole new challenge! 🤔

I really love your videos, they've been EXTREMELY helpful as I've been working on my own VN with a friend and a lot of your tips, tricks, and tutorials have been life savers! I do have one question though: Is there any way to organize Ren'Py code effectively and efficiently (i.e. a folder system or something along those lines)? The VN I mentioned earlier is very reliant on choice making which will lead to different endings and my main roadblock/concern is losing things and keeping track of the code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

NOTE: if u apply to the 3 years of l2d school you can get a huge discount!!! it worth try like 70%less the alst time i see

Thank you for this incredibly useful resource! I have a question about characters with multiple outfits, a lot of Live2D info hasn't been maintained and maybe you might know if it's better to have multiple versions of the same character or a bunch of hidden layers?

I might just get back into doing visual novels and interactive ones like nekopara and ect

Do i need a powerful computer to develop a visual novel? Just discovered your channel and i am binge watching. Much love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Hi!! This video is amazing but i have one question, how do i put live2d files in renpy so the animation i created appears as the main? like when you open the game with the main screen options and that..

Now that you did this tutorial, can you think about doing the one you talked about a long time ago. The one where you said you'd show us how to make the character walk around and be able to explore with user controls? None the less, thanks for all that you do.

Can you make visibility or opacity parameters ?

There has to be a way to combine this with the 3D models from Koikatsu and the studio, perhaps taking several shots at different angles and using them as a base? It would be an incredible leap to creating highly detailed and animated sprites. Nice video and new sub.

Now I need a Programm that can do art for me because the best I can do is a stickman that has a stroke 😂

I loved the video, it helped me a lot to comprehend live2d and renpy, the animations are life changing in my game. but...i have a question and I don't know if i am making some mistake. when I start the game, everything works fine, the animation (let's say a sad face) runs fine, but then it returns to the model default that have a little smile and the arm to far away from the sad pose. In the video the punk girl jut does the pose, don't return to the default model so I wanted to know how to fix this. I am a beginner so I'm really lost and i have tried almost everything, I would appreciate the help.

can i just say i love you?

For to lipsync, can we use the voice channel to play the mouth animation?

Still love your videos. You're a great help.

As if all of that didn't look hard enough, Live2D doesn't even turn the head for you?! You have to manually squash all of the individual pieces to simulate the head turning?! That's a lot of work!

Can you show us how make a open world in renpy please?

I’m attempting to learn Live2D for my VN, and this video was wicked helpful! Although when I try to run my game, it tells me the .json file doesn’t exist, I tried searching online, but I can’t seem to find a solution. I’m sure that I must’ve done something incorrectly, if anyone could help I’d appreciate it!

What about the audio, does renpy play it automatically or do we always have to put "play sound "test.wav"" before running the animation?

Can you make a tutorial for creating a chapter menu in Ren'Py?

When I put the sample animations, it works perfectly. But my animations only show the image, the motions don't work! and shows this: "When showing Silv, Scene1 is not a known attribute." Where is the problem? (Renpy v8.2.1 and Live2D V5.05)

Is there a way to lipsync on renpy with a Live 2d Model? Without having to animate each line lip flaps =P I know the live 2d sdk supports lipsync but no idea of renpy does.

this is late but I'll still ask in case anyone knows, how can I make a looping idle animation of the character breathing and blinking from time to time? I mean, how would I set that in ren'py? I'm good with how to use live2d but I'm totally new at ren'py

Does this work for elements of layered images? Say I have a Live2D loop of hair blowing in the wind as a part of a layered sprite.

I'm pretty sure Nekopara uses E-mote, not Live2d. Other than that, great video. :3

I do hope you make more tutorials, but I gotta say…this video was way too long. All the info is very helpful, don’t get me wrong. I just hope your future tutorials won’t be an hour long 😅 but if they are, I still look forward to watching them. I always learn new things with Ren’Py and try out the things from your tutorial videos. Please, teach me more 😄 I wanna learn everything that we can do in Ren’Py.

Ah... Flash-era Motion tween.... We meet again....
