This is not animation in the traditional sense. Animation (Disney, Ghibli) redraws the line every frame. It builds a new Euclid each 1/24th of a second. Live2D does something stranger: it tortures one drawing into infinity . It is the art of the single, suffering original.
So let us raise a glass to the deformed circle, the non-congruent triangle, the smile that lives only between keyframes. Let us praise the cracked lens of the digital soul. Euclid gave us certainty. Live2D gives us the courage to bend it, just a little, just enough to feel less alone in the flat white expanse of the screen. live2d euclid
In the beginning was the Point. Euclid, the father of geometry, declared it “that which has no part.” A zero-dimensional anchor. For two thousand years, this was the language of reality: lines, planes, angles, proofs. Rigid. Absolute. Then came the screen, and with it, the need to simulate breath.

🛑 It was complex to rig and ultimately discontinued. While we see similar "pseudo-3D" effects in modern VTubing, the official Euclid software is now a piece of tech history. #Live2D #GameDev #TechHistory #AnimeArt #Vtubing Live2D does something stranger: it tortures one drawing
Live2D Euclid was a revolutionary software designed to transform flat 2D illustrations into fully 360-degree 3D models while preserving the artist’s original hand-drawn style. Released in April 2017, it was intended to be the next-generation successor to the industry-standard Live2D Cubism . However, the software was discontinued in October 2018.

This is where Euclid differs from standard 3D software like Blender.
