[0:09] hi youtube it's ivy and i thought i
[0:12] would throw together this little live 2d
[0:14] tutorial i'm still a beginner but i
[0:16] haven't seen a video on this and i think
[0:18] it's really pretty and that people would
[0:20] really like it if they knew how to do it
[0:22] so
[0:23] what i'm going to be teaching today is a
[0:26] shimmer effect that moves with motion so
[0:28] let me show you an example of what i
[0:30] mean
[0:31] so right here you can see that she has
[0:33] some little sparkles in her hair right
[0:36] here it's pretty subtle but they are
[0:38] there
[0:38] and as her hair moves they go glitter
[0:42] glitter
[0:43] and it's really simple effect but it's
[0:46] pretty and it adds a little bit of
[0:47] motion i think in areas that might not
[0:50] have it and since it's pretty like
[0:53] spread out and not too precise i think
[0:55] it can be applied to a large area which
[0:58] is nice so yeah let me show you how i do
[1:00] it
[1:02] so this is made up of two parts i'm
[1:04] going to apply it to this section next
[1:07] so you're going to want a control and a
[1:10] actual shimmer and i'll show you what i
[1:12] mean by that the control
[1:14] is this orange bit that you see right
[1:17] here
[1:18] so i made it exactly the same as the
[1:21] part that i want to apply it to
[1:24] that just makes it easy to stick it
[1:26] right on top of any warps or you could
[1:28] even glue it if you were using a lot of
[1:29] mesh editing instead of warps but for
[1:32] this particular case i can just plop it
[1:34] in with this mesh and its warps and it
[1:37] should move
[1:38] with the spot underneath so need to mesh
[1:41] it so it kind of moves a little bit
[1:44] better than it will right now
[1:46] and we'll just plop it into the warp
[1:47] with the existing ruffle there
[1:56] [Music]
[1:58] okay it's now in with this uh bubba
[2:01] ruffle
[2:02] and it should move with the body yeah
[2:05] all right but obviously you don't want
[2:07] this orange stuff here
[2:09] so we're actually going to
[2:12] go to this uh control object
[2:15] and turn this opacity down to zero
[2:19] and you're also at this point gonna want
[2:20] to make a note of what the art mesh idea
[2:23] is because this uses clipping
[2:26] so i'm gonna copy that
[2:28] all right and then you'll need to add
[2:30] the actual glitter
[2:32] which i just have one big image so
[2:35] there's a lot of glitter to like
[2:38] move around as this uh animates
[2:41] so let me show you what my actual
[2:44] shimmer looks like
[2:47] all right this is my shimmer
[2:49] i put different colors in it because i
[2:51] thought it might show up with some
[2:53] different stuff
[2:55] and uh yeah it's obviously a huge mess i
[2:57] think i'm actually going to resize it a
[2:59] little bit for this one
[3:01] make it a little bit smaller
[3:04] and now with that uh
[3:07] mesh of the control the id we're going
[3:10] to add a clipping id for the control
[3:14] [Music]
[3:15] make that this clipping id
[3:18] and now it will just show up on the
[3:20] control
[3:21] and i will make this into an additive so
[3:24] it's nice and sparkly
[3:26] now in theory when she moves it should
[3:29] sparkle so let's test it out
[3:34] wow
[3:37] yeah so it's a really simple effect but
[3:40] i think it looks really nice and i also
[3:42] think it looks pretty realistic as far
[3:44] as like how
[3:45] shimmer actually looks
[3:47] so yeah i'm really enjoying this effect
[3:50] and i hope you guys get some use out of
[3:52] it
[3:53] you can also animate the shimmer itself
[3:56] if you want it to move a little bit
[3:58] more uh but yeah i think it looks really
[4:00] nice
[4:02] all right i hope that was helpful
[4:05] uh go make your baby sparkly okay bye

[4:22] you
