【HOW TO: Live2d】Eyes Tutorial #1 - Layer division + Blinking - YoshinoArt

[@yoelimeli9886]

i'd been struggling before because i couldnt find any tutorials that really hit the hammer for what stuff does and the way to use it, etc until i saw your video!! your video was SUPER easy to follow and left no questions about how to do something or whatever. it even answered questions for rigging and stuff outside of rigging an eye!!! i really appreciated your video, thank you so much :DD

[@YoshinoArt]

I was a bit scared of making it too long or sounding too dumb! XD I'm happy you appreciated it instead

[@fleurdelisombrete1377]

but is that a app how can i get it please reply

[@qrowcctv6578]

17:23 to those who didnt know, hold CTRL while resizing the deformer

[@Pingwinio]

Oh my goodness, thank you! I really couldn't figure out how to do it ❤

[@南野雪]

Thanks!!!

[@yoedamenlau2055]

Oh goodness you saved my fkin life.

[@okasch.8412]

Encircling the sclera with a deformer path is so brillaint, why have I never thought of it... this makes eyes SO MUCH EASIER

[@YoshinoArt]

Think unconventionally~

[@DropsteRyt]

This was such a lovely and detailed tutorial, all your instructions were clear and easy to follow and actually helped me understand some of the basics of live 2D! Highly recommend this video!

[@teresamai9629]

thank you SO much for this amazing tutorial. I just started to get the hang of LIVE2D's functions and was looking for a video that took rigging to the next level with little tips like the pupil and eyelids movement. i can't wait to try this out myself!

[@YoshinoArt]

I'm very happy that you liked it!

[@tsukinousagivods4583]

OML your tutorial is so clear to follow, I appreciate the clarification of left/right/shift clicking etc. It's genuinely way nicer to follow along!

[@kundagoonda]

I`ve watched some popular rigging tutorials but none of them were as simple and actually worked for me XD thank you so much! im in the process of making my first vtuba and i needed to check if the eyes looked okay before i keep going . i found several mistakes in my layers that need fixing thanks to you! Subbed!!

[@YoshinoArt]

Hello!! Thank you for your follow! If you're interested in live rigging process, after Christmas I'll come back to stream here twitch.tv/yoshinoart

[@wataroren2158]

Thank you so much for making such a clear and thorough tutorial showing every step from the very beginning to end! A lot of ppl assume that we know some of the steps already ;~;

[@YoshinoArt]

I'm very happy that you appreciated my tutorial ♥

[@teadrop6088]

Oh my gosh finally a good tutorial I can easily understand ! Really great explanations thank you so much, definitely gonna check more of your videos out !!

[@YoshinoArt]

Thanks! Tomorrow i'll post the Eyebrows tutorial ^_^

[@beaultea]

I literally reference this video every time I need to rig eyes, thank you so much for this guide

[@jakereptilian5212]

PRAISE THIS DIGITAL WOMAN i was and still am so confused about making models but this video is the only reason ive managed to work live2d

[@njcheddar]

Your rigging is very bouncy and alive. I'm gonna study this tutorial and see if I can recreate the feel. Tysm for this!!

[@nidgithm]

thanks for the tutorials, you add a bunch of little detail that i wouldn't have even thought to add (e.x. eyelid moving with eye XY) that make the end result so much better!

[@AsterBella0]

Your videos are literally carrying me through rigging my first model! Thank you so much!!!

[@R3_dacted0]

I was banging my head against a wall at 17:15 because I wasn't being given the option to edit the bezier divisions. I thought I created the deformer incorrectly and was confused why it wasn't working for me. But then I figured out why it wasn't working. You have to be in Edit Level 2. I was in Level 1 for some reason and on that level you are unable to edit deformer beziers. So if you make your Lash deformer and are unable to change the beziers, make sure you double check that you are in Edit Level 2 (the option is right in the center of the tool bar on top)

[@南野雪]

Thanks!

[@deideisayskatsu]

Finally a tutorial that actually shows how stuff is done. All the other tutorials by other people I have seen so far have so little information and people talking fast as frick.

[@Eliany1999]

I have been doing this the hard way all these time...I just had to move the whole top eyelid first to not deform it too crazily...thank you!

[@0_0._.0_0._.]

Замечательный видео-урок! просмотрев его полность узнала много нового! Огромное тебе спасибо.

[@lia-chan8581]

Omg 😱 I love you, I needed exactly what you are teaching to start working in Live2d. I like that the videos are short and specific for each problem ❤️ Thank you so much 🥺

[@DeusExRequiem]

Got to the "blink" part, and suddenly all sorts of design choices appear out of nowhere. Like, the hatching on the lashes actually looks like lashes curving outward after it's deformed, something you can't easily see until it's been deformed. Then there's the side lash, which doubles as a way to extend the eyelash when the eye is closed, and the color choices blend together regardless of whether the eye is open or not. Now I'm wondering what choices where made in order to get the most out of the art that I didn't notice at all.

[@YoshinoArt]

Well the drawing process is very important ^_^ that is why buying a layer divided model art can cost 4x times a normal illustration art

[@blebleble9624]

Wow, it looks amazing, great tutorial. Its propably the most detailed one I have seen so far.

[@maffeistaruu]

i couldnt do this cause i found out i needed the pro version WAAAHHH but its a great tutorial !!! it helped me a lot with what i could do :DD

[@hibci]

I want to work on eye rigging so much now AA!! This tutorial was very easy to follow, thank you~

[@Sp1derBedo]

This was so so good!! I've been scouring the internet for tutorials and this has been the only one to actually make me feel like I might just be able to do this all. Thank you so so much!!!

[@paulinefrank3562]

[@silver3595]

I had no clue how important it would be to watch how someone experienced made their meshes!! i think I just figured out why my lashes looked like spaghetti LOL

[@YoshinoArt]

The general tips i give you is to make triangles and make them evenly spaced out ^_^

[@nirawolfzo2515]

Hello Yoshino! Not sure if you'll see this, but after following all of your tutorials (huge thank you, you're amazing!) my eyes in VtubeStudio are glitching. They are constantly open at the wide eye open parameter instead of the 0.8 where they should be. Checked the params and both are set default at 0.8. Any idea what is causing this? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Have you tried increasing the higher input Number in vtubestudio? If you're confused you can check my video on vtubestudio! It's in the how to Live2d playlist

[@rogue4621]

13:45 The highlights actually don't move alongside the pupil because the light is being shined onto the entire eye from a stationary light source. Moving highlights mean that the source of light is being moved with it, which is wrong. Obviously you can choose to do this for stylistic purposes but keep this concept in mind before actively trying to do so.

[@YoshinoArt]

I guess it's debatable I make the light move when the eye blinks I imagine the shine be there because the eye is nice and moist, so since the eye blinks I imagine that "water" being kinda shaken by the eyelid ^_^

[@rogue4621]

@@YoshinoArt That's an interesting way of thinking of it, but in reality it's just like a metal bar. The bar itself will move but the light reflection will remain stationary unless the shape obstructs the light by shifting position. If there's disruption, you perceive the light as moving, otherwise you dont (like calm water vs wavy water). With eyes is more and less the same thing, since there's little to no disruption at all.

[@YoshinoArt]

@@rogue4621 i still like to think about my eyes to be squishy and moist ^//u//^

[@rogue4621]

@@YoshinoArt It looks good regardless :) Your work is awesome.

Thank you for the tutorial! As a beginner, I'm not very familiar with the interface and function of the program and this video really helped a lot. However, I'd like to ask if this is the free or paid version of Live 2D.

[@gabec.447]

this is a very easy tutorial to follow, thank you! I have a small problem though when it comes to previewing the blinking in the physics window, my eye doesn't close all the way do you know what I might be doing wrong?

great i have to make now the left side too ? :C

[@skykadet3550]

Hello. I have My "Eye Open" Parameter set wit the Default of 0.8. But when I use the physics blending settings it appears to default to 1.0. What am I doing wrong? Btw AMAZING TUTORIAL! Thank you soooo much!

Does anyone know how to reopen Parameters? I accidently dragged Parameters into a separate window and closed it and now parameters are completely gone from my live 2d ;-; even opening a new live 2d model it doesn't show up and I'm at a complete loss as what to do

Extremely good tutorial, but at some points hard to follow if you don´t know the shortcuts like at 17:18

[@nanamiluv_265]

I NEED HELP! Hi, I have been watching your rigging tutorial and it's SUPER helpful! However, I have an issue with Live 2D itself, it will not save my work. Even with the auto save on! I don't know what to do, it's my third attempt and I don't wish to do it a fourth time. I am currently using the free trial on a MacBook pro, someone help me!

[@chubisan4990]

Hello :0 , I followed all the steps in the two videos, but I have the problem that the pwp blinking does not work in the other copied eye! I already did the thing of putting it in the blinking settings, and it works once it is shown in the physics window, but when I use the playback tool the copied eye doesn't work (it doesn't blink) I don't know if that will work later

[@mothsilkz]

hello! i've been following your tutorials and it has made my eye rigging an absolute breeze! you explain them really well and thoroughly, though I have one problem.. in the part where you taught us to do the wide eye and close eye parameters. for some reason, my left eye's default is the wide eye look but it didn't go over to the right eye when I flipped it. so now it looks like my model has one wide eye and the other is normal :(

[@YoshinoArt]

You need to edit the parameter, just right click it and click edit parameter Then change the numbers

[@burnsmalu7182]

Can somebody help me please? I'm followinf the tutorial but when I open the physics painel the blinking is too slow :/ What do I do???

[@DenisseM636]

Thank you very much for this tutorial!! ^^, it is very well explained, I love it ♡´･ᴗ･`♡💕

[@YoshinoArt]

I'm very happy that you liked it!! I will post asap the physics part ♥ The wiggles really make everything pop

[@ChoChiba]

hihi!!! i'm not sure if i could get some help - in my physics for my blinking, my eyes only go to the halfway open keyframe rather than closing completely and then opening back up. i followed everything but i'm not sure if im just missing something LOL

[@YoshinoArt]

Sometimes Live2d is a potato like that, you can grab it manually and slide along the parameter or export the model in VTS already and do a check that everything is alright!

[@barrieral]

love you

[@NevaehEvol]

i used the reflect motion and it smashed my highlights into a ball in the corner of the canvas and even ctrl z isnt bringing them back :')

[@vipery-07]

Hello im new to live2d and I'm curious what are X and Y use for?

16:57 Can you add the tears later? I haven't meddled with this program at all to know,,,

[@SaiyanBulma]

Haihaii

[@SaiyanBulma]

Nevermind I fixed it! For some reason I had CTRL+Z too many times and it put the eye whites under the same X movement deformer as Irises, thanks though I know you'd be able to help if I ever needed!

[@Horsaz]

Your eye tutorial is just amazing! I'm definetly going to use this on my own model, the paralax effect is going to look so cool! I have one problem though, at the Rigging: Blinking part when I'm supposed to select all the parts for blinking and click "Edit Keyforms Manually" I get the error message "Please select a Parameter." I've rewatched the video multiple times but I don't know why this is happening. Also is there a way to change the order of the Deformers? I try to click and drag but nothing is happening. I accidentally put the eyelashes behind the iris.

[@YoshinoArt]

Hello! For the first problem, first you select all the parts for blinking, then you click on the Eye Open parameter and then try again to click "Edit Keyforms Manually" and it should work. ^_^ If you want to change the order of the deformers, you have to do it in the "Part" section and not in the "Deformer" part. (The one that on my screen is on the right near me)

[@Horsaz]

@@YoshinoArt thank you so much!

[@Juxxods]

Hey! I am currently trying to get the blinking part down and have selected all of the eye layers but when I try to edit keyforms manually it gives me a message that I have a max number of parameters? This is because I currently have the free version of Live2D. In order for me to make my model blink do I have to purchase Live2D or is it possible to do it while sticking with the free version?

[@Juxxods]

wait nvm I found another comment that asked the same question and you already replied to it! thanks lol

[@seraphsstorycrew2598]

I'm having trouble because of how the face is, how do you do the face to where the sclera and eye shadow are underneath the skin of the face...?

When I tried deleting the inner mesh lines for the pupil, it didn’t dissapear as I added a new line. How should I fix this?

I can't do the Rectangle for eyes in Photoshop. How did you do it?

[@Shoumie]

Thank you, this tutorial is super helpful!! But somehow I ran into a problem: At 11:48 when I try to move the iris I just deform it and I can't seem to find where exactly I have to click and drag to move the entire iris and not the mesh. I think the problem might be that the red box isn't showing up, only the green one with the mesh. But I don't know what to do to make it appear...

[@Shoumie]

Oh...I found a way, just use the direction keys

[@Demonikabat]

@@Shoumie I FUCKING LUV U I was having the same issue lmao

[@Shoumie]

@@Demonikabat I'm glad I could help, because this was a huge issue I had at the beginning and it was driving me crazy!!! Some other things that have helped me to make the red box appear: - Selecting a different part and then going back to the part I was working on - right clicking the keyform on the parameter you're working on to make sure you're exactly at the spot you're trying to work on Wish you good luck!!

[@Horsaz]

Thank you so much for your hard work! Have to ask, I assume you're using an iPhone for tracking, I do not have an iPhone and aren't planning on buying one because it's too expensive for me. I've heard that the extra parameter dot on Eye(L/R) Open when it's fully open messes with the eyetracking, that for webcams it makes it so it's always starring with eyes fully open. Should us iPhoneless people just skip that part?

[@YoshinoArt]

Hey! So yeah usually when my client tells me that they don't have an iPhone, I don't add the wide open eyes dot, just leave it at normal open state!

[@dreamingcatstudio7350]

I was struggling about the mesh path cause i couldnt find it XD and my model couldnt auto blinking, turns out tht we should select all of the elements before adding the key parameter right?

[@YoshinoArt]

Hello! Yeah you have to select all of the elements that will move with the blinking before adding the key shapes in the parameter!
