Reborn Live2D Cubism, three features
1. Improved expression

The functions of various deformation tools such as polygons whose density can be changed freely, deformers and deformation paths that can be deformed more finely and smoothly are further enhanced. By combining the new function “Glue” with the existing rotation deformer, joints like bones can be expressed. From bold movements to delicate deformations, we can achieve modeling that matches the user's image. In addition, the number of animation curves for performances has been increased to five, making it possible to create animations that are slow and slow.

2. Easier to use

You can now see the animation on the timeline in a separate window while you are modeling, so you can work on modeling and animation simultaneously in a single application. This can save a lot of work time. UII and UX have also been redesigned, and windows can be combined and separated.

3. Easy-to-start pricing

The Cubism 3 PRO license is offered in a subscription format that will become more profitable as you use it for a long time (* There are some exceptions). Individual customers can start at ¥ 1,190 per month. Also available as a set with Live2D Euclid. Of course, the FREE version can be used as before.

* There are three types of licenses: Live2D Cubism 3 FREE for free use, Live2D Cubism 3 PRO for indie for individual creators, and Live2D Cubism 3 PRO for business for corporations.
* There is no functional difference between the PRO for indie license and the PRO for business license.

Live2D Cubism 3 will be updated several times a year and new features and improvements will be made as needed.
