Artists MiiKO and SeterMD share their own recreations — MiiKO using Live2D with culling techniques, and SeterMD using After Effects. The post also highlights other Live2D projects that push the software toward pseudo-3D looks, including full-body models, fake hand-tracking, and 3D-style halos. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
