【Live2D】Quick Tip: Inverting the Z-Axis via VTS Parameters
I stumbled across this trick while looking up tutorials the other day!
It turns out you can get complete control over your body's Z-axis just by tweaking a single parameter in VTS!
Instead of the default setup:
"Body Z rotation parameter" following "Head Z rotation parameter"
Change it to:
"Body Z rotation parameter" following "Head X position parameter"
This way, the camera uses your face's side-to-side positioning to control the direction your body leans!
Not only does this let you choose on the fly whether to invert the movement, but it also lets you do this really fun swaying-in-the-wind motion!
(The downside is that it's a bit more tiring since you have to actually shift your body around. Plus, it's hard to hit those picture-perfect shoulder-shrugging poses you'd get with a standard inverted setup—unless you build the muscle memory for those exact angles!)
You can apply the exact same logic to your body's X-axis rotation, too! It looks super fun in motion.
I'm sure a lot of the VTS parameter gurus out there already know about this, but I still think whoever came up with this setup is a genius!
Just wanted to share this with anyone else out there who struggles with the logic behind these settings!
