Where to Download Inochi2D and View Its Documentation

Updated

Inochi2D's official site, inochi2d.com, is the place to start: it provides a Download Inochi2D option and a View documentation option. Use the download link to get the framework itself, and the documentation link to learn how to build and animate models. Both are presented on the site as the primary resources for getting started.

What you'll find on inochi2d.com

The site introduces Inochi2D as a framework for realtime 2D puppet animation. It works by creating 2D meshes and layering them, which creates the illusion of depth and movement from 2D artwork. The site positions this technique for use across entertainment applications, from live streaming to games development.

Two actions are offered directly on the page:

  • Download Inochi2D — the entry point for obtaining the framework.
  • View documentation — the entry point for learning how to use it.

What Inochi2D is used for

The site lists three example scenarios, which are useful for deciding whether the framework fits your project:

Scenario What the site says you can do
VTubing Bring your avatar to life and engage with viewers in real time. You can combine Session with third-party software and extensions for fine-tuned viewer interaction.
Games Development Implement real-time character animation at any framerate with physics and advanced compositing, royalty-free.
Animation Animate layered artworks for publishing on social media using the animation tools and video export options.

The gallery on the site shows example models: Ada by ku-ini, Aka by seagetch, and Midori by seagetch.

How to get started

  1. Go to inochi2d.com.
  2. Select Download Inochi2D to obtain the framework.
  3. Select View documentation to read the setup and usage guidance before or alongside your first model.

The site does not state pricing, license terms beyond the "royalty-free" note for games development, or system requirements on this page, so check the documentation for those details rather than assuming them.
