Live2D's Nizima LIVE 2.4 Update: A Leap Forward for VTubers

Live2D, a pioneering company in 2D animation technology, has recently updated its popular VTuber application, Nizima LIVE, to version 2.4. This update, released on September 29, 2025, introduces a host of exciting features designed to simplify and enhance the online content creation experience for VTuber enthusiasts.

Significant Improvements in Speed

One of the most notable enhancements is the dramatic increase in operational speed. The internal display system of Nizima LIVE has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, resulting in a smoother and more responsive user interface. Key improvements include:

• - Faster model loading times, which significantly reduces the time needed for the application to launch.
• - A reduction in CPU usage and memory consumption, allowing the app to run more efficiently on a variety of systems.
• - Enhanced frames per second (fps) performance, resulting in smoother visuals for users.
• - Improved mask quality when displaying models and fixed issues relating to mask degradation when opening new windows.
• - Unification of item mask sizes to match the models, streamlining the settings for ease of use.

Users may experience varying results based on their system configurations; however, the overall feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

New Art Mesh Editing Functionality

In a move that will greatly please VTuber creators, Nizima LIVE 2.4 introduces the new art mesh editing feature. This functionality allows users to hide certain parts of their models, making it easier to overlay costume items while eliminating any visual overlaps that may detract from the final presentation. Accessing the art mesh editing is straightforward: simply navigate to the main window of Nizima LIVE, go to item operations, select the desired model, and initiate the editing process. It's essential to obtain permission from the model creator before utilizing this feature.

Enhanced Plugin Capabilities

The updated version also includes strengthened plugin capabilities with the addition of two new plugins: Tracking Value Blend Plugin and Effect Linkage Plugin, currently available for Windows users only.

Tracking Value Blend Plugin

This plugin enables users to input multiple tracking data values into a calculation section and link the results directly to model parameters. Users can save the calculated outcomes as new input values (custom parameters), which can then be reused for additional calculations.

Effect Linkage Plugin

The Effect Linkage Plugin allows for seamless integration of tracking data with various effect parameters. When tracking changes occur, the visual effects will update simultaneously, providing a cohesive and more dynamic presentation.

Furthermore, users can now download plugins and scripts directly from within Nizima LIVE, eliminating the need to search external websites.

Screen Recording Feature

A much-anticipated addition in Nizima LIVE 2.4 is the screen recording functionality, enabling users to record their screens and capture audio directly from the app. The feature includes customizable input device settings and the option to set shortcut keys for added convenience. This makes it easier for creators to produce content directly from their livestreams or recordings. Users can navigate to the settings menu to explore this feature, which is also Windows-exclusive.

Additional Updates

Further updates in Nizima LIVE 2.4 include:

• - A function to incorporate Live2D items between models,
• - Introduction of three new Live2D items that can be applied between models,
• - A new effect known as lens blur that emphasizes glowing areas,
• - Enhanced language options for model names and descriptions when the app is set to English.

Conclusion

Nizima LIVE is designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. With its intuitive user interface, advanced tracking capabilities, and collaborative features, it allows users to fully express the beauty of their Live2D models. Whether you are a beginner looking to start your VTuber journey or an experienced creator seeking to expand your toolkit, Nizima LIVE offers the ideal platform for everyone.
