I'm working on Umamo, a free open source replacement for the Cubism Editor!~
I have been working on Umamo for about two months now with the goal to completely replace the Live2D Cubism Editor. I want to make a release candidate by Christmas!(I will regret saying this!) Everyone working with Live2D formats should access to a free open source alternative instead of being locked into the monopoly that Live2D has over the 2D puppet market.
I just released version 0.2.1-dev.
Features(*Built so far):
- Cross-platform: Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Android and iPadOS eventually the future!)
- CMO3 and MOC3 import and export.
- Supports PSD(Photoshop), KRA(Krita), and CLIP(Clip Studio Paint) for layered artwork.
- Runtime support for Ayagami and Cubism 3.0 to 5.4.
- Drawable mesh and UV mesh editing.
- Parameters and Keyform editing.
- Blender-like interface that lets you arrange and duplicate areas however you like. If you have used Blender you already know how to use Umamo.
What's not built yet...
- Deformer editing (I'm waffling on the gizmo design.)
- Physics and animation.
- Art sourcing and texture atlas pipelines.(In progress now!)
- Native UMA file format.(Initial design, not implemented yet.)
A shout out to u/HoshinoLina for doing all the research on MOC3 and Live2D physics. A lot of what I'm doing here would not be possible without her hard work.
