Quickly modify a texture on your avatar

Once you've imported your Live2D avatar in Animaze Editor, you can easily modify its texture directly by opening it in an image editor like Photoshop or Gimp. This is great for making quick color adjustments or in our example adding a small badge to her shirt.

For larger changes, we recommend you use the Cubism Editor. Learn more about changing materials in the Cubism Editor here.

Here is the simplest way to modify your avatar and see the changes almost instantly: 

Go to the Animaze Editor install folder on your PC:
