# It Looks 3D, But This Spinning Ball Is Fully 2D

**[80 LEVEL](https://daily.dev/sources/80lv)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A viral post showcasing a 2D spinning ball from the Reverse: 1999 and Atomic Heart collaboration that convincingly mimics a 3D effect using Live2D technology. 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.
