Hello. seeing as we all know the struggles with Iwara's downtimes and YouTube destroying bitrates, we wanted to share a new alternative platform our team has been building for the community.
It's called
Layenet (
https://layenet.com).
Just to clarify so this doesn't get flagged as off-topic: While we built it heavily with MMD in mind, it fully supports all 2D and 3D animations. You can upload Blender, Unity, Koikatsu, or standard 2D animation renders, and you will NOT get kicked off for it. It is a dedicated platform specifically for 2D animation and MMD creators.
Why we built it / Features:
- Video Quality: Natively streams up to 1440p at 60fps HEVC. Your gradients and physics will actually look the way you rendered them without blocky compression.
- Dual-Sync "Wand" Tool: We built a custom interactive player. You can perfectly sync two video layers and use a Wand tool to X-ray/peek through layers in real-time.
- Spatial Comments: You can draw a box on the screen to comment on specific details instead of just using standard timestamps.
- Asset Repo: You can attach your Motion/Model DLs and project files directly to the video page.
We just spun up some new high-speed forwarder nodes and we need people to stress-test the bandwidth. Come check it out, upload some high-bitrate stuff, and see if you can break our player before we pass out for the night lol.
