Description

Live2D Cubism is a 2D model maker. It dynamically animates an illustration exactly as it is drawn, using just a single source illustration and do not require an individual frames to be drawn.

Dynamically animate an original 2D illustration.
This technology is often compared to 3D animation. However with 3D animation, an entirely new model is constructed based on the original illustration, while Live2D utilizes the original illustration directly. This allows you to provide dynamic expressions while directly harnessing the charm of the drawn character.
The use of Live2D software technology breathes life into your drawn character and generates a much greater effect from the static art. This will help your audience develop a stronger emotional attachment to the character.

Directly animate the original art that you and your fans love.
Many of the works created using Live2D have their origins in traditional 2D, whether a visual novel or famous illustration. This demonstrates that 2D artists and fans value Live2D’s advantage in preserving the authenticity and rich graphics of the original 2D art rendered in modern applications.

Consistent quality across different media forms
Today, a character may be featured in different ways on different media platforms. This results in a lack of visual consistency and quality. Live2D enables the original 2D art to be applied in various media forms with consistent quality.

Endless applications using SDK
Live2D has been utilized for a wide range of applications since it was first introduced in 2008. To cover the growing need in interactive media, Live2D supports a wide spectrum of applications and environments, such as apps for mobile platforms (iOS, Android), game consoles, game engines (Unity, Cocos2d-x), and other communication tools for events and live streaming video.
