Inochi Creator is an editor for the Inochi2D puppet format.
This application allows you to rig models for use in games or for other real-time applications such as VTubing. Animation is achieved by morphing, transforming and in other ways distorting layered 2D textures in real-time. These distortions can trick the end user in to perceiving 3D depth in the 2D art.
Inochi Creator is nagware.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
