That is per object so an artmesh, or deformer is 1 item.

Nested deformers that focus on specific movements

So you will just have to Nest deformers to look around

what does that mean? i'm new to this so i'm not sure of all of this terminology yet

formal knot
#

sure np

#

Nested means putting one deformer inside of another. So as an example For a head, You would have to have a deformer that looks X then have another that has Y inside of it (or vice versa). Where as a Pro user would just have 1 deformer that does both X and Y.

so i just make a seperate deformer for the x and y?

So instead of this your X and Y would be X and then have an deformer in Y and then Physisics would in that one.

here is a video where someone is doing it on there hair but youd be doing the same genual idea but on all your parts that have XY angles

#

i assume i didn't do this correctly? i'll view the hair rigging though

#

this is complicated for me i've never done anything like this

#

the easy part was making the art

#

i'm tempted to pay someone to rig for me but i dont have 200 dollars out of pocket

if you watch that video she goes over how to nest the X and Y. But @vale kite is correct, you will have limitations with the free version. Its not too hard to make a basic model rig. Before you decide to hire someone I'd recommend paying for the pro version or getting the pro trial version that lasts for 14 days and following along with someone "How to rig" on YouTube. Since you're already trying.
Some good content creators that have "how to rig" video series are YoshinoArt, Syafire, and Chupuko. All 3 if you fallow along with them, will show you the basics and get you a model that is moving around by the end.

i wish i didn't accidentally waste my trial. i got the trial over a month ago and didn't realize it would take so long to make the art

#

i'll try to see what i can do, thank you

No need to ping me. Dont watch syafire’s tutorials. Those have a lot of bad habits. I recommend watching Brian’s recent tutorial series (it is unfinished but help with understanding). Get comfortable with how to use the free version. Then when you have the time, use the 42 day trial.

i unfortunately cannot use the 42 day trial again

I personally include Syafire's in my recommended because while there may be some bad habits she goes slow and keeps in mind the the viewer more then likely knows next to nothing about live2d and explaines why she does most things. It's always good to gather your info from many sources.

A lot of learners are lazy and will watch only one series, so I do not recommend and I’ll leave it at that.

For OP, you could do your best with the free version but just keep in mind that movement will most likely be limited until you get the paid version or hire someone to rig it.

that sucks, I know how it can be. PErsonallity I'd say take a risk and get live2d for a month. its only around $15 bucks and if you rig the model yourself its FAR less then paying even the lowest cost rigger. Plus you get to learn a new skill. And if in the end you decie to not want to rig it yourself your only out 15 bucks and you have a better understanding of rigging which lets you be more knowledgabul about what is resonalbul to ask for when talking to a rigger.
