i'm making the art for my friend's model, and she wants a small train car to be animated around train tracks on her tail, but i'm not sure how i should layer it. if anyone has any ideas it would help a bunch!! i attached a rough animation of what it would look like

that's kinda difficult btw...
but I think making the train into pseudo 3D layers might be easier... here's the guide for it

In this video I try to explain how to make a pseudo 3D in Live2D. This is the first method I know of, with the use of Glue tool. It uses 1 art piece to wrap the sides. There will be more coming about 3D shapes soon! if you dont want to miss it out, you can subscribe xD

after you making it 3D, just make it move following the rail, then place it into your model tail after you turn the rail into springs shape like your reference... then move it manually without skinning...
