This video quickly goes over the fundamentals of Live2D: ArtMeshes, Deformers, and Parameters. I also show how to quickly customize the UI before you start rigging PLUS the whole rigging process from facial features, physics, and body + face angles.

I hope this video helps you get a better grasp of rigging, I made this tutorial to be FREE VERSION FRIENDLY. Feel free to try out rigging for yourself!
