Live2D Cubism 4 Artist — Original Character + Rig for a Commercial App (full rights & source files)

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We're commissioning an ORIGINAL Live2D (Cubism 4) character model for a commercial software product. This is not a typical VTuber commission: the avatar is driven entirely by our application (programmatic lip-sync + expression control) — NOT by a webcam or face-tracking — so the rig must follow a specific parameter spec we provide. We need full commercial rights and the editable source files. SCOPE / DELIVERABLES • One original character — illustration + rig (Cubism 4, .moc3 v4). • Rigged to a PROVIDED PARAMETER SPEC (standard Cubism parameter IDs; full spec shared under NDA). Must include a convincing jaw-based lip-sync (ParamMouthOpenY) and declared LipSync + EyeBlink groups. • 4 expressions as .exp3.json: happy, sad, angry, surprised. • 1 looping idle animation that moves BODY / HEAD / HAIR ONLY — it must NOT animate the eyes, brows, or mouth (our software drives the face; a face-animating idle fights it). • Physics (hair / accessories). • Full runtime export (.model3.json, .moc3, textures, .physics3.json, .cdi3.json) AND the EDITABLE SOURCE FILES: layered .psd + Cubism .cmo3 (+ .can3 if any motion). STYLE (full art direction in the brief) Broadly appealing, brand-neutral, friendly and trustworthy. Framed as a head-and-shoulders close-up, so large, expressive, readable eyes and clearly visible brows matter most. Non-sexualized and suitable for a general audience. RIGHTS & LICENSING (please read before quoting) This is a full commercial / work-for-hire commission: full IP transfer to us, EXCLUSIVE (the character will not be reused or resold), plus delivery and ownership of ALL source files. This is broader than a standard personal-use VTuber license — please price accordingly. A short NDA is signed before we share the detailed brief and any identifying details. TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE 1. Your Live2D portfolio — especially rigs, expressions, and idle work. 2. Confirmation you can: (a) rig to a provided parameter spec, (b) grant full commercial rights + IP transfer + exclusivity, and (c) include the editable source files (.psd / .cmo3 / .can3). 3. Your quote and estimated timeline (and whether full rights + source change the price). 4. The Cubism version you work in (we target Cubism 4 / .moc3 v4). NICE TO HAVE • Experience rigging models for apps/games, not only VTubing. • Clean, well-named parameters and tidy layered PSDs. We'll share the complete spec brief under NDA once we connect. Looking forward to your work!
