In this course, with the theme of “Sparkle effects,” we will explain how to express polyhedral jewels three-dimensionally and how to make them glow, as well as how to make metal hair ornaments glow.
Although the course is designed to be incorporated into VTuber models, it can also be used as a reference for video and game models, and is recommended for everyone who works with Live2D!
In addition, “How to Create Effects” will become a series and we will continue to explain how to create various effects in the future, so please be sure to check it out.
