Virtual Characters Created with Live2D – From Illustrations to Rigging – Live2D로 만드는 버츄얼 캐릭터: 일러스트부터 리깅까지 [Fast Campus, Runya & Liger Noah, Group Buy]

Live2D Rigger Noan is here to join you in the world of rigging.

From Crocodile, Ryu and Onu of Revolution Heart, to Spring of Maple Story M, and more than 130 virtual character riggings for private streamers, YouTubers, and businesses, we collaborate across various fields.

In 2021, Live2D rigging was predominantly handled by artists commissioned as subcontractors. However, with the surge in foreign virtual content, the domestic virtual market has seen significant growth.

Upon first encountering virtual characters, their allure captivated me, prompting me to set aside my reservations and dive into this field. In Korea, resources for learning were scarce, leading me to translate videos from abroad and pursue a self-taught approach, which involved numerous trials and errors.

The path I treaded was often shrouded in mist, lacking clear milestones. Walking alone made it easy to lose my way, and I faced several instances where I chose the challenging route. The experiences and knowledge I gained through self-discovery now serve as milestones for you. It’s truly rewarding.
