The Live2D Euclid software (Editor and SDK) released in April 2017 will no longer be available today (Tuesday) October 16, 2018 (new downloads and PRO trials) and license subscriptions will be suspended. The

Live2D Co., Ltd. has been developing Live2D Euclid since 2014 and officially released it in April 2017. Since the official release, we have received high praise for the innovative expression of Euclid, but we have continued to respond to many requests for production costs and applications. However, in order to develop Euclid's goal of “2D expression that moves like 3D” to a level where it can be used in earnest, it was concluded that it was necessary to make dramatic changes again with a view to major specification changes. It was.

On the other hand, there is still room for further improvement and expansion of Live2D Cubism, which is in widespread use both in Japan and overseas, and production efficiency and expressiveness to meet the needs of various fields such as video production, games, and VTuber. Is required to dramatically increase

Under these circumstances, in order to deliver better Live2D technology to as many customers as possible, we will concentrate our limited development and support resources on Cubism and accelerate development. We have decided that it is best to greatly improve the expressive power by reflecting the know-how of Cubism in Cubism.

We apologize to those who have used Euclid 1.x, and who have encouraged their development and spread, but we appreciate your understanding.

Finally

Since our founding, we have been developing software to deliver the highest value to users working on 2D expression. Our mission is to create new expressions with technological capabilities and provide value to creators. It was this passion that started the development of Live2D Euclid four years ago. Our passion for “2D expression that moves like 3D” has changed, and research and development will continue to produce an Euclid evolution, and we will continue to cultivate Live2D technology as an expression option alongside 3D.
