Inochi2D

New Inochi Creator trailer has dropped! 🦊 Remember to wishlist it on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2108550/In…

Anyone who is found to have attempted to circumvent this contribution policy will be banned from contributing code and assets to the upstream Inochi2D project.

While there is likely to be people who make it through review despite using AI, any use of AI will be removed from the codebase if discovered and replaced with new code.

Small update on Inochi2D, given the problems that generative AI has caused both to the Inochi2D codebase but also to creatives and by extent our users, contributions using LLMs to generate code, etc. will NOT be merged into the codebase.

@PampersEveryday The crashing bug with Inochi Creator will be fixed on 0.9's release later this year (hopefully)

@Inochi2D MACでのバグが解消されるのはいつになりそうですか？

Vertex welding has now been added to the in-development Inochi2D 0.9 SDK, if you're developer you can give it a shot today! You can get the nightly build SDK here github.com/Inochi2D/inoch…

Inochi Creator 0.9 will of course have a new look for it's splash screen. The community voted on a cat café theme! 🦊🐈‍⬛☕ Wallpaper resolution versions of splash screens will be published to the Inochi2D website on the release of Inochi2D 0.9! 🎨: @egerik_k_

Due to issues with model corruption when merging PSDs we've released a small tool called INPFix on our Discord as a holdover until 0.9 is ready for release which will fix such model corruptions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@ultrasquid 1. It's written in D, with some more memory safety features available that C does not have 2. it's standalone, easy to compile 3. It's under a very permissive license

@Inochi2D Just out of curiosity, how is it different from Harfbuzz, which is another text rendering library? Honestly, I don't know anything about either of them but the names.

If you're looking for a permissively licensed font handling, text shpaing and glyph rendering solution that is portable, we've developed a custom solution called "Hairetsu"; it's open source, and free! Inochi Creator and Inochi Session 0.9 will be using it!

Note: It currently only supports TrueType fonts and TTF hinting bytecode is not yet being converted to our own internal font hinting VM format. But we plan to down the line support CFF, CFF2, TTF and full support for text shaping complex scripts!

D言語で書かれた複雑なテキストレイアウトをサポートするライブラリ「配列」 Live2D的な2Dパペットを作り動かすInochi2Dのチームが開発してる。機能はシステムフォントの列挙とか、キャンバスに配置するとか、レンダリングするとか。 サンプルはほぼGC依存なしで動かせそう。 github.com/Inochi2D/haire…

Final announcement for today; given the extensive under-the-hood changes done in Inochi2D to decouple it from OpenGL and D's garbage collected runtime, the next release will be versioned 0.9! Creator and Session are also undergoing major retooling for this update.

Nightly prebuilt SDK releases are now available with accompanying C headers! Want to use Inochi2D in your game? Check it out! SDK releases are subject to the BSD 2-clause license and may freely be used in your software, at no cost! github.com/Inochi2D/inoch…

❄️ Happy holidays! ❄️ Inochi Creator is currently having a 50% off sale on Itch and Steam! The sale lasts till December 22nd, 19:00 CET! store.steampowered.com/app/2108550/In…

OBS Now Supported on Vupechat 📣 It's been our #1 feature request - buut we didn't want to rush it 🚫 Keeping Vupechat safe & stream-friendly is our top priority, so we buffed safety + mod capabilities for months.. and now its HERE! Your fav apps are now compatible via OBS 💜

Do note that the Unity Plugin will leak a tiny bit of memory every time you press play in the editor, this is due to parts of Inochi2D not yet being decoupled from the DLang runtime and standard library. This should be resolved throughout the development of 0.8.8.

Feel free to give it a shot! There's still more work to do on the plugin but it's able to render animated puppets already using the upcoming 0.8.8 SDK. github.com/Inochi2D/com.i…

Happy to announce that the Inochi2D Plugin for Unity is now in beta! Additionally, a GDExtension for Godot and support for Ren'py is in the works! Stay tuned for more info.

@Ikxi__ @RazorSharpFang @raina_illune Updates have been slow due to major efforts to decouple Inochi2D from OpenGL, and work to reduce its dependencies on difficult-to-compile dependencies. Additionally, the binaries for the SDK are free to download or build yourself, which should be far simpler now.

@RazorSharpFang @raina_illune hasn't updates on inochi2d been slow thr last couple years? also hrard compiling it yourself it quite hard and the binary is behind a paywall

Character rigging terms are actually so hard for a beginner or a client. like what makes Live2d rigging different from AE Puppeting? Why is the cost of one so drastic from the other? Let me just answer this- Puppeting is an After Effects term for rigging. Yes these programs (Live2d, Spine2d, AE) all sound like good programs, but the big differences are the use cases. Similarities- all of them can be used for animated loops and video mediums like YT videos and shorts. Live2d: Has the best support for 2d Vtubers and JP games. Especially if you are Japanese, there are schools and general support for it in Japan. I found the implementations of shadows and deformation parenting to be the best. Spine2d: Has been the standard for character rigs in games! Most games that aren't Japanese and use 2d moving character rigs use Spine2d as the norm. Also the lightest program of the 3 and is the only one that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux natively. It's also a 1 time payment to use the program. After Effects: Used for not just character rigging but special effects and motion design. It's the only one of the 3 without a manual mesh tool, making fine tuning a part being the worst, HOWEVER, has the quickest option of character animating. It won't be the best, but it's why it's the cheapest option for character rigging for multiple characters. It's adobe though so it's unfortunately the most expensive to use of the 3.
