Desktop Widget for Live2D Models

Live2D-Widget

a little cross-platform desktop widget based on the Live2D Sample App in the SDK

nw.js builds are avaliable on http://nwjs.io/

Tested on all 3 platforms with nw.js version 0.12.x

UPDATE March 20th, 2016

• context menu (exit button added)
• preserve window state and position
• auto-load models (scans for *.model.json)

Usage:

• adjust window size in package.json
• move: look
• scroll: zoom
• l-click: touch
• r-click: context menu - change models, always on top, and exit

Install (Windows/Linux):

1. extract the right nw.js package to the root directory
2. optionally edit package.json for window size
3. run nw(.exe)

Install (Mac OS):

1. rename the root directory to app.nw
2. put it inside nwjs.app/Contents/Resources/
3. optionally edit package.json for window size
4. run nwjs.app

Add/Remove Models:

1. put/delete model folder inside assets/

2. (add only) inspect your *.model.json, make sure it implements the idle motion

3. (add only) optionally implement the tap_body motion with proper hit_areas defined

4. (add only) if the model doesn't fit properly inside your window, add/edit the layout section inside *.model.json

   (see assets/haru/haru.model.json for reference)
