Prop / Rig Modeler

What do you do? 🖌️

Create Live2D character models by preparing and rigging separated character assets into a reusable model that can be used for animation. The Rig Modeler focuses on making the character move naturally; they do not animate full scenes.

Responsibilities:

• Convert character assets into a functional Live2D model.

• Create deformers and parameters for character movement.

• Set up facial movements and expressions.

• Prepare the model so it can be used by Animators later.

• Communicate with Character Asset Artists when adjustments are needed.

• Be open to revisions and feedback when necessary.

Requirements & Guidelines:

• Experience in Live2D Cubism.

• Front-facing models are the default requirement.

• 180º rotation of the character (left > front > right). The head and body should be able to move independently.

• Eye movement, such as looking and blinking is required.

• Basic face movement (such as looking up and down and head tilt) is required.

• Body layering (eg. an arm can go to the front or the back layer)

• Lip syncing is optional

• You may use:

  • A provided Gacha character asset, or

  • Your own simple original character model for the audition.

• Assets do not need to be fully polished; the focus is on the quality of the rig.
