[Live2D Tutorial] Perfect Eye Blink Tutorial for Complex Eye Rigging for VTubers

[@fennryn]

Is there anything you want to see a video of in this series? Let me know! Or stop by my livestreams on KZbin or Twitch and ask me in person! 💙

[@elandria]

Will you be doing a further vid on the iris/pupil/shine and physics detailing for your eyes?

[@dbfavorited]

Your tutorials are fantastic. You have mentioned doing another eye rigging video in a couple of videos so far, will you be making one? Your way of explaining the process is easy to follow and you are very entertaining and I'd rather just learn from you. Thank you

[@SketchyGrl]

Had an ADHD moment and had to rewatch the parameters section a few times. That transition from chibi to normal is so mesmerizing!! Howwww????!!!

[@Leanda33]

You deserve more views 🌺

[@fennryn]

T_T THANK YOUUUUU

[@hydromind5438]

I just realized how few the views are. This is too helpful and easy to follow to be so low

[@Floweenka]

Thanks a lot! 😍

[@sofia_butterfly]

Thanks for these videos! Been helping out a lot on my v2 model. Your style of explaining is very understandable

[@fennryn]

Great to hear! I always worry I'm moving too fast or too slow

[@allisonreeverts2204]

One of the best eye tutorials I have come across. Thank you!!

[@hydromind5438]

You are so wholesome and easy to follow. I wanted to make a vtuber model because it looked fun to make. I was gonna start with a chibi since they seem easier to start with. I don’t know what I want them to look like though.

[@fennryn]

aww thank you

[@thatguyisnorokun]

I just started my first vtube model and thank you so much for guides! :)

[@fennryn]

You're so welcome! and good luck!

[@Fatlatouch]

This was actually a super good tutorial. Good job!

[@akatoriii]

10:20 if you accidentally rig something onto the wrong side of the parameter (like 0 instead of 1) you can easily fix that! Just right click onto the keyframe and click "reflect". It'll move everything from 0 to 1 (or whatever number you have) and vice versa. This way you won't have to do everything again c: (note that it'll only reflect the mesh/deformer that's currently selected, everything else wil stay the way it is)

[@fennryn]

you're correct! except here, that won't fix the issue I was discussing. I was talking about rigging multiple types actions on the same parameter. If you forgot to move the toggle off zero, you would effectively errase the first set of rigging (eye normal), rather than stack on a new set of rigs (for eye smile).

[@debviaa]

This was the most helpful eye tutorial I came across tysm 😭🙏

[@fennryn]

I'm so glad!

[@SupitchaN]

id love to see a tutorial on how you transform your model into a chibi!! I've never seen any tutorials for it so far but it looks super cool!

[@fennryn]

Yup I plan to make one! Just trying to get through all the large basics first but I think Chibi is one of my most requested!

[@MythicDragoness10]

This is extremely helpful! I’m suffering making my model especially since she’s not human 😅 I literally had her eyes derp out and irises going everywhere irises have never been before

[@foxwifeart]

I’ve always wanted to make my own model but it seemed way too technical for me. This is going to be a life saver. Thank you so so so much 🥺💕

[@fennryn]

You can do it!! it's going to come out great too!!!

[@thirdeye6130]

hai very very good tutorial if you could in the future do a mouth tutorial that would be amazing your tutorials are easy for my brain to understand i rigged my eyes and my 5 eye toggles in a single day with it thank you thank you

[@_ShoDesu]

Can you teach how to bouncing eye physic? 🥺

[@brasasdekentaro6732]

I did this before eye physiscs and i think i screwed it up...

[@caeshura]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@fennryn]

You're welcome! Glad it helps!

[@AdManOfChaos]

12:55 Can anyone help me? I’m on Mac, so the ctrl+click is not possible (because in the MacOS, ctrl+click translates to “right-click”. Does anyone know how to free up the deformers like this on Mac? I’d like my eyes to function organically. Thank you! Also, this video has been SUPER helpful! Thank you!

[@fennryn]

I'm sorry I dont use mac, but hopefully someone else might know!!

[@AdManOfChaos]

@@fennryn Appreciated! I was able to install Live2D on my windows machine and did the thing there. But if anyone know how to do it in the apple side of things that would still be welcome knowledge 😁

[@Evelighte]

i got a little lost on the Eye Smile section because, when starting, after i set the 1.0 keyframe and set the lower lid for the eye smile parameter, if i slide the Eye Open parameter, the lower lid continued to animate throughout the Eye Open keyframes. I dont know if i explained it at all, but basically instead of staying in its curve of the 1.0 eye smile setting, it animated to its normal position at the 0.0 of the eye open instead of not moving (basically can you try go a little slower on the parameter stacking part? sorry im kinda dum)

[@fennryn]

no dont call yourself that!! its a confusing thing to learn first. Make sure that set your eye open to 1.0 keyframe and THEN click the 'make keyframe' button on eye smile. If the bottom lid is still moving - i'm assuming thats because you didnt have the lid correctly selected when making the keyframes, or you have a deformer sitting on top of the lid that is also moving it up and down.

[@LeraVitama]

Hi Fennryn! I need your help, its an emergency😟 when I got to the point where I would reflect the L eye parts...all of the sudden, some of the parts disappeared. Infact they just went behind the parts (for example: pupil went behind the sclera or the higlight went behind the iris) I cant move them forward or anything. Can you pls help me? My license expires in 9 days😢

[@AmazingAIVideo]

can you do the tutorial on the eye xyz motion please please plese

[@fennryn]

just posted a quick short on it!

[@thaliaa-bz4ls]

hii love the tutorial but like, how im supose to make it move with the head?

[@fennryn]

Add the face parts in a new Face XY deformer and you'll have to move the parts left and right to make it look like they're moving with the face

[@The_Debonair_Dragon]

ctrl zed is my best friend

[@neon577]

I wonder... Is there a way to copy-paste the parameter-dot (or keyframe I guess 😅) into another parameter? 🤔 So for example, do the eye smile, where you bend the bottom part of the eye, and then just copy-paste that to "eye smile + Eye closed"? Because I seem to only be managing to copy the layers instead 😅 (I'm sorry if I'm being confusing) 😅

[@fennryn]

you could do that using the steps at that 13:00 timestamp. That will let you copy/paste onto another parameter And if youre just trying to copy/paste within the same parameter, use Ctrl + Shift + C (or V), just Ctrl + C will copy/paste the layers rather than the keyframes

[@Timmmiiiii]

First of all, AWESOME Tutorial! But somehow, my iris will not disappear behind the eyelid, even when it is in the right order. Any suggestions, what might cause the problem?

[@fennryn]

Hmm sounds like you might be having an issue with something called Doucle Clipping. Its a known bug in Live2D. I dont have a tutorial on how to do Double Clipping, but there are some good walktrhoughs by iDogMini that can help you!

[@annielczkr]

I have abit problem with copying the eye. around 11:00 when you copy the container and clicp ctrl + P, for me itwants to export some stuff or smth, it doesnt paste the eye, eventho i right clip and paste it manually, after renaming it Eye R, select all and click reflect, it does reflect but the eye stays on the position of the eye L. Im total beginner and i have no idea how to grab all the things in newly made Eye R container and move it to the possition where right eye would be Q-Q please help

[@fennryn]

that might be because you're using Ctrl P and not Ctrl V - try it again with a V instead of pressing P and see if that works?

[@N3kovita]

Sorry for commenting so long after video release, but how would you do this for eyes that have heterochromia? (two different eyes)

[@fennryn]

You can still use this method! Just copy and paste over the eye like the video so you have two matching eyes, and then swap out the iris with the correct eye colour art. Just make sure you do all your rigging on deformers and not to the art mesh itself and you wont even have to do any rework!

[@Sinna_Nera_Sinna]

Hi, I am stuck at around the 10 minute mark. Idk how to do the parameter stacking. Like I watched the video multiple times and I still can't understand how to have multiple sets of data set to the same keyframes. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@fennryn]

sorry i missed this comment. Think of Eye smile as a ''toggle mode" when it's set to 0 - the eye open will operate as normal, when you set it to 1, the eye will open with a curve at the bottom to show the eye smiling. For it to work, the lids and everything need to have green dots on both the eye open and eye smile parameters - if they dont - your stack wont work correctly

[@Sinna_Nera_Sinna]

@@fennryn thank you, I eventually figured it out on my own. I actually managed to finish my model :)

[@KatlynCurtt]

I couldn't leave the iris hidden like it happens in yours, is there a step beforehand to make it like that? I only managed to make the iris appear or shrink when it opens or closes like the sclera... Help t.t

[@fennryn]

Make sure you clip the iris to the white of the eyeor else it will appear when the white is closed

[@krysin]

Dont worry, this is the part that i didnt get too even after rewatching it so many times.

[@Evelighte]

@@fennryn hiii amazing tutorial btw, i got my model a while ago and ive just now gotten to rigging it (college lol) how do you clip certain deformers if they arent ordered next to/under the other. i came from clip studio so clipping is only known to me by clipping to a layer beneath...

[@Chichi-ov5pd]

Hello, thank you for all your help. I have designed a model. Very different to the usual. Can I get your opinion of whether it will work for a Vtube Model? Also, you open for commissions.😂💫

[@fennryn]

Any type of model can work as a vtuber model! There is no limit, that's what's so great about it. And no, I'm not open for commissions, sorry!!

[@TheM1lkMan...]

i click download on live2dcubiem and it says thank you click on the thing but the thibgs not there
