Customisable Live2D models?

[Rebecca Kalista]

So I've been thinking, if it's possible to have custom parameters change the opacity or size of layers in a Live2D model and if it's also possible to access these custom parameters from VNM, there's no hard obstacle to creating a fully customisable character sprite that is also Live2D-animated... Except I haven't actually tested, so might as well ask about it beforehand. Does this seem feasible to people with experience with Live2D, and does VNM expose custom Live2D parameters?

Also as a side-question, is the license for Live2D included in VNM valid for player-customisable sprites? I'm thinking about something along the lines of Fire Emblem Awakening's avatar customisation.

Edit: just spent a good part of the day trying to crash course myself into being able to create models, looks like the only significant obstacle with Cubism 2.1's free version is simply the hard limit on the number of drawable objects. If I ever decide to actually go ahead with character customization, it will mostly be a matter of purchasing a pro licence on the Live2D side... which is acceptable, really.

Thus, question kind of auto-answered.

Hi, VN Maker currently supports Live2D 2.1 Feature-Set so what ever Live2D 2.1 allows you to do, including custom model parameters, should work in VN Maker as well. We also have a command called "Live2D Parameter" which allows you to directly modify/animate specific parameters of the model if you now the name of the parameter.

Also as a side-question, is the license for Live2D included in VNM valid for player-customisable sprites? I'm thinking about something along the lines of Fire Emblem Awakening's avatar customisation.

There shouldn't be an issue with that. The special license of VN Maker allows you to sell a VN Maker Game using Live2D commercially without paying license fees to Live2D.

We are still working on Live2D 3.0 support. If you think there are some important features missing, feel free to post in our Feature Suggestion Board :)
