How to operate when displaying multiple models

When multiple models are displayed, an icon of the currently displayed model appears at the bottom of the window.

Select Model

Clicking on a model with the cursor over it makes the model selected.
You can also click on the model icon to make it selected.

The selected model is displayed with the model icon circled in purple.
More than one model is always selected, and multiple selections are possible.

While a model is selected, click on “Camera Settings,” “Expression/Motion,” “Parameter Settings,” or “Model Properties” from the icons on the left side of the screen to configure individual settings for the selected model.
Clicking on any other icon will allow you to make common settings for the entire main window, regardless of which model you have selected.

When disabled, all of the following UIs are also disabled

Lip-sync support for “Mouth”and”Mouth Spread”

Overwrite existing “mouth” with lip-sync.
Specifically, “16. Lip Sync (Vertical)” and “17. Lip Sync (Horizontal)” move the parameters tied to “13. Mouth” and “14. Mouth spread” in the “Motion Settings”. When lip-sync is enabled for the first time, it is automatically turned on.

Input device

Switching Microphone

Input boost

Amplifies the microphone input.

Input threshold

Noise Removal setting. Sounds below the threshold are not reflected in lip-sync.
0dB: All sound is eliminated.

Use camera when input is below threshold

If it is below the threshold, it switches to mouth movements by the camera.
This allows for expressions such as surprise mouths and yawning mouths.

Time to close mouth

Set the time from the end of speaking until the mouth closes.

Sensitivity Auto setup

Sets the magnification for the corresponding vowel.
Follow the guidance and it will be set automatically.

Input scales

Manually set the magnification of the corresponding vowel.

Advanced Settings

Drawing FPS

You can select from 30FPS and 60FPS.
The number of frames per second is displayed at 60FPS, which is smoother than 30FPS, but increases the load on the PC.

Physics FPS

You can select from 30FPS and 60FPS.
It represents the internal calculation settings for the physics operations of the model displayed in the window.
By matching the settings in the Live2D Cubism Editor at the time of model creation, the shaking width of physics calculations, etc. can be made the same as that displayed in the Live2D Cubism Editor.
In Live2D Cubism Editor 4.2 or later, if the calculated FPS is exported to the physics settings file, that value will take precedence.

Tracking quality

Lowering the number will reduce the quality of tracking, but it may make the Live2D model move more smoothly.

ウィンドウの最前面固定化
