This page is for commonly asked questions about Inochi2D, either Inochi Creator or Inochi Session

General questions about Inochi2D project.

Neglecting taxes Luna has to sort out,

• Donations through GitHub will be 100% given to Luna.
• Patreon, 95%.
• Itch.io, 95%, where a $30 purchase will provide you a pre-compiled version of Inochi Creator with lifetime updates.

• You are free to use commercially. License is BSD 2-clause.

• Windows, macOS, Linux.

• No. Different programs, different filetypes.

Frequently asked questions about Inochi Creator. if you have a question that is not yet listed here, then you can ask in the Help thread on the Inochi2D discord

You can check the requirements in the following table:

• No. As long as your hardware holds .

• No, it's fully featured, just has a 10 second nag screen every start up and a friendly reminder in welcome panel to buy a copy to help development funding.

• Inochi2D has example psd files. You can download them on Itch's demo (or check this link to download on github).

• Model .kra need to be: only raster layers, 8 bit. Visual info.

• Requires Flip Pair Configuration Requires same number of keypoints
• Click on engine icon of parameter you want to copy, then click on Copy. Go on parameter you want copy to and click on engine icon, then click Paste and Horizontal Flip. Visual example.

• Small and detailed parts (specially if it's too thin) will never make perfect auto mesh. But you can get better results when using Thin and minimum parts and modifying the minimum distance between vertices until you get satisfied. Probably you'll need to edit a little after auto mesh.

• Yes, the Meshgroup node acts similar to a warp-deformer

• You can group as you like. Each node has own strength, for more detail, check here. Or check this for rig example.

• Group in Simple Node for those nodes that share same position when moving;
• Group in Composite for those nodes that must work like one object being;
• Group in MeshGroup for those nodes that must work like they have one single mesh.

• There are some listed in Resources

• Short answer is no, but this functionality is implemented in code, just not exposed on the user interface. If you are technically able, find these lines in source, change to true and recompile:

  // inochi-creator/source/creator/io/psd.d
  incImportPSD(file, IncPSDImportSettings(false));
  // inochi-creator/source/creator/io/kra.d
  incImportKRA(file, IncKRAImportSettings(false));
  

• The software you're using may be exporting PSD files in a way that Inochi Creator does not support yet. For now a free software you can use to export Inochi2D compatible PSDs is GIMP (Import corrupted .psd on GIMP, and export as .psd). Note, this is currently not a high priority issue but is acknowledged and will eventually be fixed in later versions.
• Double check all your layers are raster only and do not have any vector layers. Inochi2D only supports raster art at this time.

• Fire Alpaca, Medibang, ibisPaint, Affinity Designer, Sketchbook, SAI, and Procreate.

• Not currently, but is planned

• Dragging and dropping is reserved for specific things, you can try doing File → Open and then selecting your file

• Quickly create grid-shaped mesh (it's not perspective grid tool).

• Click on the edge of the grid

• Texture, Blending & Masks

• As long as a Camera is setup you can export to GIF/Video. To make transparent GIFs, choose to export to APNG first, then use a third party tool (for example, Ezgif) to further convert to GIF.

• No, there are no ways to make parameter depend on another one. But if you want to some physics be trigged by some parameter, it's possible.

• Hold down ALT and move the vertices

• Change the mode, default is Pendulum

• Set scale to -1

Frequently asked questions about Inochi Session

• OpenSeeFace, VtubeStudio, IFacialMocap, PuppetString (or any other tracker that can send VMC)

• For simple mouth tracking: ftMouthEmotion for X, and ftMouthOpen for Y
• mouthx is for tilting your mouth
• mouth emotion set tracking in to be -1 to 1

• Not out of the box yet, but it is possible with custom software that emits quantized parameter values (like 0, 0.5, 1).

• Yes, it needs to be named tracking_lost

• Yes, adjust your tracking-in

• Tracking-in is the value that's being received from the tracking software.
• Tracking-out is the value being passed to the puppet parameter.

• Right click the name of parameter, then click Expression Binding. Below dampen there's a space for math expressions, you'll need to write there to make animation loop. For more detail, check here.

• Use Math expressions, for example, abs(sin(time / 3))

• You should write down math expression on this link, it shows visual graphic of that expression.

• If you name an animation tracking_lost, Inochi Session will play it when tracking is lost.
