Important note about addons for anyone inexperienced with Blender: Blender updates frequently break addons due to changes in the API, and addon developers often have to scramble to update their addons to make it compatible with the latest version of Blender when their addons get broken (assuming that the addon is actually being maintained). This is why you have to make sure that your addons are compatible with whatever version of Blender you're using, and maybe use older versions of addons if you're using an older version of Blender. I mentioned in this video that I was using Blender version 3.6 at the time, but I failed to mention that the version of MMD Tools that I was using must've been v2.9.1
For the people having trouble using Asset Studio: because the program has been unmaintained for two years, I probably should've pointed y'all to a fork that's actually getting recent updates, but otherwise I'm not sure how to solve all the problems that others are having. I haven't really been using Asset Studio myself for months now
Thank you for the tutorial!! If it’s possible, would you consider making a guide to fix the ripped model’s physics (skirt and hair mainly) at some point?
Unfortunately, I've spent years trying to figure out how to make physics in MMD that live up to my own standards (e.g. matching the quality of physics found on YYB or Mihoyo models), and eventually got so frustrated with my inability to do that that I gave up on rendering anything in MMD and switched my focus to rendering in Blender. There are some pretty interesting tutorials on MMD physics available on Nico Nico Douga, but they're all in Japanese and I don't have the skills to translate them
I have a question. Would it be possible to make your own custom clothes & hair for the models? This is cause I want to make models of my project sekai OCs.
I haven't worked with those models myself, but I would suspect that the bone names and hierarchy could be different, and therefore the bone script that I've provided wouldn't work. But it should be possible for you to write your own bone script if you understand how MMD rigs need to be set up
RU-vid won't make my links clickable until I unlock "advanced features" by building up channel history (posting more videos). Granted, I could also send them my ID, but I'm not gonna do that. So it's gonna take a while
It's impossible to click the links in the description, they are cut. Also, can you share that doc tutorial? I tried writing the link but it says I don't have permission to view it.
For some reason, trying to load the AddUV (converted vertex colours) into PMX Editor without doing this step causes them to not display as the right colours. The numerical values need to be tweaked in the RGB Curves node for reasons that are hard for me to understand myself. Figuring out this conversion method took me months
