Umamo
A free and open-source, cross-platform rigging editor for 2D puppet animation, built as a drop-in replacement for the Live2D Cubism Editor. It is fully compatible with Live2D's CMO3 and MOC3 file formats so it works within the existing Cubism market share. The v0.3.0 release adds a full pipeline for ingesting layered artwork plus texture atlas packing and editing. Currently in early alpha, with a planned Christmas release of an end-user workable experience.
What it addresses
Live2D holds a monopoly on the 2D puppet animation market with a slow, buggy editor that requires a monthly subscription to use and perpetual licensing costs to use the runtime.
