Pjsk Unit Shuffle Au - Blog Posts
hi everyone!
i got a comment on my Doki Doki ♪ Harmony Live2D Models asking how they’re made and thought i should try and explain my process!
note: i loosely followed @ribbon-sweet’s explanation here! xe explains it really well imo and her shuffle au is very cool and has much much more sustenance for the fans go FOLLOW HER!!! /nf
↓↓↓ this was the speedpaint for all of the ddh models if you want a visual, be warned it’s got a ton of backtracking and flashes/sudden appearances.
Here’s a kind-of step-by-step but not really of my process/notes!
For at least unit outfits (for swaps or shuffles), I’d definitely recommend making / editing 3D models from in game first! Unless you’d like to draw the outfit by hand, be my guest, but it looks good even with slapping and editing it onto the live2d. Saves a lot of time and potential hand cramps lmao
On the topic of 3D Models, the poses they make in the dress up menu sometimes makes them hard to select and edit (eyeing honami…), so if that happens to you, I’d recommend putting the outfit on Mafuyu and giving her short hair to select and copy/paste from as she has a simple, front facing pose with little arm posing.
I source my models from sekai.best, as you can pose and change expressions easily, and they just added a toggle to turn off the looking-around type animation applied! Swimsuit and Sports models are my bases because they usually have short/no sleeves and are less bulky than other costumes, but you might have to cut in the legs (i took from Nene’s school outfit in this case,) for sports models.
Don’t be afraid to Frankenstein parts together! I stole jackets from other models for Nene and Minori’s casual outfits (the images aren’t properly uploading right now sighhh) and they turned out fine! I’ll probably be doing this in the future too.
Add whatever edits you want! I don’t do very much, but other editors definitely do more to their models (the most I probably did was give minoririn freckles and doing the bang thing on Nene, i think?) For programs, I use procreate because I’m used to it, but I’m pretty sure anything works! I know people use ibispaint, at least.
More of a personal thing, but I also used an extra layer to cover up the expression to make adding different expressions easier in the future.
Have fun and don’t stress out on making them at maximum efficiency! All of these took me about 4 hours over the course of multiple days. There’s no rush.
This is also a personal thing, but background noise helps because this is a long, tedious process most of the time. Whatever you like, but long videos can have you switch around less. (I made some of these edits with Shayy’s “Undertale Genocide but Every Enemy is Sans” vod, and i didn’t even finish it before falling asleep!)
this probably sounds really jumbled but i hope this helps !!!
