The most impressive feat is the pseudo-3D turn. When a character looks left to right, true 3D would render a new profile. Live2D cheats elegantly. It scales the far eye down, shifts the nose across the face, and rotates the ears. It is a topological illusion, a carefully constructed lie that your brain accepts because it preserves the integrity of the original drawing.

Live2D Cubism is the art of the hinge. It acknowledges that a drawing is a lie, but proves that a beautiful lie, if rigged well, is indistinguishable from a soul.
