8:31 Edit the other EyeL Open to have a Max of 1.4 too!! Common Problems 1. Can’t create a deformer (error: please create an object with same parent deformer selected) Make sure your selected elements are of the same hierarchy! So you can’t select child layers and the parent deformer together. You can click the little ( v ) above the deformer window until it becomes ( ﹥ ) and it will collapse the deformers, so you can better tell what’s on the same hierarchy. See my post for more info: th-cam.com/users/postUgkx8fZ6rX4mblhgTsGUNLgCT6SUYNydsfWt?si=69KbNHw539LtqLVP 2. Limited deformer conversions, parameters, can’t shift ctrl c/v : you might be using live2d free version! Please consider getting the pro version trial, since this tutorial is not going to be completable without pro version!
I have the pro trial and I still don’t have control shift c working 😢 is it possible this feature was taken out of the trial? Is there a way to do this without it?
@@TheVampireFreddo I'm not sure what it was but I solved it by remapping the keyboard shortcut. I think another program had ctrl+shift+c mapped to something that was interfering with Live2D using the same shortcut. Changed mine to ctrl+alt+c and it's now working as intended! :D
putting this here incase anyone else has the same problem - I got the error: 'please create an object with the same parent deformer selected', and my problem was that I'd made the head Z rotation earlier with some layers hidden in my eye folder, and then when I went to make the eye roll deformer, I unhid them, and then got the error above. the fix for this was looking at the inspector and seeing that in the newly-unhidden layers, in Deformer it said 'root', but in the other eye layers it said 'HeadZ [head_base]', so I changed those newly-unhidden layers to also be HeadZ in deformer and that fixed it, and I was then able to make the eye roll deformer.
For anyone having probles with the eye skin part at 7:48 and the parent child notification: I read Merely's post on the problem and honestly understood nothing, but i played with the file a bit, and found the problem, Basically there's a layer or something that is in conflict (don't know why), so i just bruteforced the solution by unselecting the layer in conflict and proceed with the warping, once the warp of the eye is done, I manually warped the conflicting layer on its own. Is not the ideal solution, but it works xD
@@systemspade in my case i think it was an eyeball, but i made a model on my own, so it may be diferent in each case. i recomend trying to make the deformer with all the wanted layers at first and deselect one layer at a time untill the error message desapear, and then add the conflicting layers to the deformer you want. You WILL encounter this error multiple times after this, so it's all about createvely bruteforcing a solution wether the program likes it or not xD
To other idiots who drew eye open and eye closed like me: Pick asset with open eye - add two points on parameter board - drag circle to the RIGHT (1) and set opacity to 0% Next pick asset with closed eye - add two points on parameter board - drag circle to the LEFT (0) and set opacity to 0% Now you have some wonky af animation but you don't have to cry and draw it all over again.
Select specifically the eyelid while it's open and smiling the press Ctrl Shift C then Ctrl Shift V and it should do it, I got mixed up at this part too lol
@@loverofscreens2411 this is the way. I think she kinda skimmed over it in the video but she no longer has multiple eye parts selected when she ctrl shift c and ctrl shift v the state of the eye. She only has the eyelid selected when she does that. For any dum dums out there like me who want to know the how and WHY
I had the same problem, here are 2 possibilities: 1. you are using the free version (this is only in the pro). 2. if its not working cuz something else you can also find these actions in the modeling menu (top left) go to 'edit form' and then copy form/ paste form. hope this helps
7:18 for some reason I can create the deformer fine, but when I click create, it doesn't highlight anything, and acts as if nothing is even selected :(( I don't know what the issue is 😭
im suffering, cuz i decided to make a vtuber model, and my artstyle is REALLY chibi, like, really chibi (with simple lines for eyes, exaggerated facial expressions and all dat) .. and i cant figure out some things because all the tutorials are like, anime chibi or anime atyle /sobs tho, this tutorial has helped me a ton with things other tutorials DID NOT explain.. ty tho, if i could get some help on how to do eye closing i would appreciate it! the model im working with uses different layers and the closed eyes are like, a different image. i have never used live2d and cant figure out how to make it work :'3
This is amazing. I appreciate such a clear, non-yapping, knowledge-dense tutorial. I'm slowly working my way through your entire series. Question: If the eye is smiling, it can't also be surprised. Is it intended for these to be mutually exclusive? Or did you (perhaps off-camera) bring the smile to 1 and the open to 1.4 and make a smiling *and* surprised eye?
Thank you! And that is a very good observation! basically I don't find smiling + shocked to be super important and aesthetic wise smiling looks cuter without shocked so I just never included it(I might actually try it on my next model now that you brought it up), but ofc go ahead and try it yourself! Its exactly as you said :)
7:28 Thank you for this tutorial! I have trouble with the eye skin part because when I create a warp deformer for the eye skin it doesn’t include the part eyelash, eyelid etc it’s just empty even when I follow the same parameters than you? I do not understand what I’m doing wrong here, our softwares doesn’t act the same 😭
I am struggling with the smiling expression and that one LONE eyelash, it simply doesn't want to behave at all. Usually ends up breaking when I toggle back to regular closed.
the eyeballs keep breaking on their own and i have absolutely no idea what im doing wrong. im at the part where i set the x and y keyframes for the eyeball movement and it will work fine i will slide left to right on both to test the movement and they either stop moving 1 direction completely or swap so that x is up and down and y is left to right and idk how to fix it and it breaks even worse when i link them they barely move
i'm still stuck on the eye skin, i've followed everything to a t, but i don't know which to select. i'm up to the eye skin part. it says cant create deformer
i think i figure out the ussie (took me 30 minutes lmao). Try closing the eye smile deformer (click the arrow on the left of the deformer folder) it should hide other child deformers like eyelash , eyelid and so on AND THAN select the eyesmile folder and make a deformer!
i have a question on either both or one of the eyes (i didnt do the other yet,) only the iris moves and not the other eye parts? i have it all selected and im following everything but only the iris moves i need help..
How can I connect everything inside the iris to it? If I attach the highlights and the pupil to the iris, it is visible through the skin, but if I attach it to the white of the eye, I can't move the iris because everything is separated
watch the next video after this in the playlist if u havent yet she teaches u how to just duplicate and reflect the eye you just rigged so u dont have to do the entire process again for the other one
You can select everything attached to the wrong param and right click on the keypoints, in the drop down menu select ‘change’ to change it to the correct one! I demonstrate this later w eye physics
If that happens again, you can just right click on the name, click "Edit Parameter" and change the name (Simply switch the L's to R's and R's to L's). It's a little less time wasting and prevents accidentally making mistakes.
did you click on the deformer of the eye? nothing happened for me but then I realised I had clicked off the eye so the box wasnt around it anymore, once i clicked back onto it i was abloe to copy paste.
the new point you created for the shocked eye. In the next video the point isnt there in your EyeR Open Bar, mine is still here and every time i go to physics setting he is the default for the eye. what am doing wrong?
@@MerelyWufeii I was with problem by the time I needed to replicate the whole eye but I fixed giving 1.4 max to the other eye. Thx for the tutorial, I just started learning how to rig and am using mainly your tutorial ☺️

thank you so so sooo much for this. It was so hard to find a more current tutorial that I could understand
my brain is not braining with the smiling eye part hshshhshshs
mine didnt either it took me HOURS for that part
@@mercilyss3could you help me? when i try to copy and paste the white part of the eye overlaps the eyelid and it gets all wonky

Now you have some wonky af animation but you don't have to cry and draw it all over again.
Who’s left who’s right
for those of you struggling to warp the eyelids or other parts, you can just use the deform path edit to warp it :)
4:45 I can't get that done, I don't know why :I
Same
Help- on 4:47 all that copy and paste the smiling eye I can’t seem to do properly. It’s not doing anything

Is there any way to upload a psd image for closed eye? i feel like it might look cool if i don’t warp only warp it- i dunno though :O
I am struggling with the smiling expression and that one LONE eyelash, it simply doesn't want to behave at all. Usually ends up breaking when I toggle back to regular closed.
I’m testing live 2d rn and to fix that you could might put the eyelid eyelash and the one eyelash on the same layer

i'm still stuck on the eye skin, i've followed everything to a t, but i don't know which to select. i'm up to the eye skin part. it says cant create deformer
same like me :(
Same!
Select only eye corner, eye white, double eyelid and everything in "Eyelash", "eyelind" and "lower eyelid". It should work
i think i figure out the ussie (took me 30 minutes lmao).
Try closing the eye smile deformer (click the arrow on the left of the deformer folder)
it should hide other child deformers like eyelash , eyelid and so on
AND THAN select the eyesmile folder and make a deformer!
hey, why when i drag the iris for iris roll the pupil is not moving, its just move the iris
yoo the eye is kinda difficult
i have a question
on either both or one of the eyes (i didnt do the other yet,) only the iris moves and not the other eye parts? i have it all selected and im following everything but only the iris moves i need help..
At 4:23 I can’t get the select button? 😢
when i try yo ctrl shift c ctrl shift v on eye r smile it says "please copy before calling"
How can I connect everything inside the iris to it? If I attach the highlights and the pupil to the iris, it is visible through the skin, but if I attach it to the white of the eye, I can't move the iris because everything is separated
You attach it to the white of the eye, and iris movement is done by a deformer with both iris and highlights inside!
@MerelyWufeii oh, thank you so much!
Idk why but it wont let me create a deformer for my iris ;-;
So do I just… do the same for the other eye? 😭

@@meinemyuchiI was scrolling forever to find a comment that said this, thank you!!!
Underrated
its soo hard to make sure the eye aligns! ill defintely have to get used to it lol
is it okay if my right eye is on the left parameter, I've been doing this for hours and I really hate to redo all of it.
You can select everything attached to the wrong param and right click on the keypoints, in the drop down menu select ‘change’ to change it to the correct one! I demonstrate this later w eye physics
my eyelashes keep disappearing after automeshing
ummm I accidentially made the right eye with the EyeL Open parameter and dont know what to do please sb help QWWWQ
You can right click on the rigged param (dots area), then click select, then click change to change it to the correct param!
(Select is just to select everything attached to that param, you can manually select too)

Add the key point to your iris at 1.4!
