In this segment of the video, the content creator addresses the common perception that models are too expensive due to the high price tags associated with rigging, emphasizing the need to understand the cost. The creator outlines a seven-day plan to learn rigging, breaking it down into sections for different body parts. Rules are set for the duration and final product requirements ensuring a fully usable rigged 2D model. The first day is dedicated to familiarizing with software, understanding concepts like meshes, deformers, and parameters in Live 2D. Hands-on experience is prioritized, with a basic head model created to apply theoretical knowledge.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses working on a math rig reference then transitioning to a simpler mouth rig reference by Ransom VT. They focus on getting the rig working efficiently and having minimal keys. The creator also talks about the challenge of rigging animal ears and simplifies the process similar to how they rigged the eyes. They then move on to working on the body, learning from a tutorial by Yoshino art and incorporating jiggle physics for a more natural look. The segment ends with the creator preparing to finalize the project by tying everything together, refining movements, and completing the physics and polish on day seven.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, the creator talks about the detailed process of learning Life 2D and creating a usable model in just seven days. They highlight the challenges and creative problem-solving involved in the task, emphasizing the resources and tutorials available for learning. The importance of understanding the complexity and cost of VTuber models is discussed, as it involves time, skill, and dedication. The segment concludes with the final model reveal and encourages viewers to explore this skill if interested, emphasizing the effort required in mastering it.
