To install MMD Tools to Blender 2.78, copy the «mmd_tools» folder, contained inside the blender_mmd_tools folder, to \2.78\scripts\addons, then enable MMD Tools in Blender from the Add-ons tab of the User Preferences dialog. For other versions the version number directory will vary according to that version (E.g. in 2.73 the path will be \2.73\scripts\addons).

On installation, MMD tabs will become available from the Tool panel, MMD Display / MMD Shading / MMD SDEF Driver subsections will appear on the Properties shelf, MMD Material and MMD Texture subsections will open for the Materials section of the Properties window, and a MMD Model Information subsection will open for the Object section of the Properties window. When a joint or rigid body is selected, additional subsections will open in the Object tab of the Properties window.

MMD Toolshelf Tab

This creates the heirarchy structure necessary to the successful export of an MMD-style model, as well as the root bone MMD requires. Along with Import Model (below), it is one of two ways to create a model understood by mmd_tools to be an MMD-style model. It does not create any meshes. To attach meshes to this structure, use Attach Meshes to Model (below).

Convert Materials for Cycles

Cycles is an alternate renderer for Blender that handles materials differently than the default Blender Internal rendering engine. Convert Materials for Cycles will convert the material settings of a selected MMD-style model to a format appropriate to Blender Cycles.

Separate By Materials

Imported models are stored as a single object by default. To rapidly separate each material in a model into a separate object, select the model, then Separate By Materials. By default, shapekeys will be removed from any meshes no longer affected by those shapekeys in order to prevent some issues with Blender’s corruption of vertex morph data.

Join Meshes is the reverse of Separate By Materials. To rejoin all objects making up an imported model, select any object belonging to that model, then Join Meshes. The model will recover all objects that have ever been a part of it and join them into a single object.

Attach Meshes to Model

This will locate any meshes not part of an MMD-style model and attach them to the last material in the selected imported model. To use this, select any part of any MMD-style model and Attach Meshes to Model. There’s no need to select any of the new meshes you wish to attach. Meshes already part of an MMD-style model will not be affected (for instance, if you have imported two separate models into a single Blender scene.)

If you are attaching to an MMD-style model that contains meshes, you may instead select the mesh you wish to attach and the model to which you desire it attached, then join those objects (ctrl-J).

Apply and Clean Bone Constraints

MMD and Blender handle bone appends in different ways. To translate between these, use Apply to translate appends into a form usable by Blender or Clean to translate appends into a form usable by MMD. Bones will be cleaned automatically upon export.

Build and Clean Rigid Body

Just as with bones, physics are handled differently by MMD and Blender. Use Build to translate physics information into a form usable by Blender and Clean to translate physics information into a form usable by MMD. Built physics can reduce performance significantly. It’s recommended to only build rigids when necessary— generally, immediately prior to rendering.

By disabling any of these buttons you can limit which elements of a model are imported into Blender. By default, all elements are imported.

Applies a scale (centered on the origin) to all elements of the model. Smaller numbers lead to smaller imported models. Default value is 1.0.

When checked, mmd_tools will attempt to repair invalid faces and vertices upon import. It is nevertheless recommended that you validate and, if necessary, repair any model prior to importing into Blender.

When checked, vertices in the same location will be merged, duplicated faces will be removed.

When checked, the bone’s tail of IK links will be corrected.

This will rename bones that use the standard MMD right/left nomenclature into a system that Blender can recognize, permitting appropriate mirroring. (The export script will automatically revert names from saved versions.)

Use MIP maps for UV textures

When checked, mmd_tools will generate mip-maps for the model’s main texture. The method for generating mip-maps can lead to artifacts, and so you may wish to disable this.

These will reduce the influence of attached sphere textures, lightening multiplicative spheres and darkening additive spheres as the influence is reduced. This is the same as reducing the diffuse color under the influence subsection of the specific texture in the Properties window. This will not affect exports of the imported model.

Log level and create log file

Applies a scale (centered on the origin) to all elements of the model. Smaller numbers lead to smaller exported models. Default value is 1.0.

If enabled, any texture images referenced by the model will be written to the appropriate directory, relative to the exported model. Existing files will be overwritten. Even if a Base Texture Folder has been specified (below), textures will never be written to that folder, but only to the appropriate directory for the model based on its export path.

When Sort Materials is enabled, mmd_tools will attempt to re-order your materials in a way least likely to cause transparency problems. It does not take vertex or material morphs into account, and is less reliable than specifying a particular order via the Material Sorter (below).

Visible Meshes Only

When checked, the hidden/invisible meshes will not be exported.

By default, mmd_tools does not pay attention to vertex order, and may export vertices in any order that it deems fit. This may affect some effects used via MME. To write vertices in the original order from an imported file, enable Custom. To write vertices in an order sorted by Blender, enable Blender.

As with importing a model. If enabled, a log file will be written to the destination directory.

Allows you to load a .vmd file as a set of animation keyframes into Blender. To load an animation, begin by selecting a valid MMD model, such as one that has been imported, by selecting the base parent object from the Outliner (see below). Then Import Motion.

Motions can also be imported onto Camera objects. This will convert them to MMD Camera objects. Select a Camera object (the main parent), then Import Motion, selecting an appropriate .vmd. Import options are the same as when importing an animation onto a model.

Scale will be applied to any bone movement. Smaller numbers create smaller movements. It’s recommended to use the same scale with which a model has been imported.

If a Margin is specified, a number of empty frames (equal to the Margin) will be inserted at the beginning of the animation, before the initial, imported keyframe.

Bone Map determines how bones specified in a .vmd will be mapped onto an armature. With Renamed Bones, the motions bone identifiers will be renamed on import in the same manner as for models imported with Rename Bones (above), then applied based on the model’s bone names in Blender. With PMX, the motion’s bone names will be checked against the model’s stored bone names, rather than Blender’s displayed bone names. With Blender, the motion’s bone names will be checked against the actual names of bones used in Blender.

Treat Current Pose as Rest Pose

If enabled, current model pose will be treated as its rest pose. Useful for importing T-pose based motion to A-pose based model, etc.

If enabled, the motion will be imported by using X-Axis mirror.

Update Scene Settings

If enabled, this will tell Blender to use 30 frames per second. The frame range will also be expanded as necessary to include the complete imported motion.

Basic support for exporting motions is now available. Currently, it can export bone animation, shape key animation, and camera/lamp animation, but self shadow, and other vmd specific animations are not supported yet. Also keep in mind these notes/issues:

Display Items allows you to edit the display panel necessary for MMD’s handling of animation. The top panel allows the selection or creation of display groups that may be selected, edited, reordered, deleted, or created. The bottom panel shows the elements of that group, which may be similarly selected or edited. Note that selecting, for instance, a bone and changing its type to Morph will lead to problems with MMD.

When a bone entry has been selected, its corresponding bone can be rapidly selected from the Display Items subsection through the Select button.

Morph Tools allows you to edit the MMD specific paramters of morphs. Blender respects only vertex morphs, in the form of shape keys (see below). However, morph parameters should be preserved through import-export cycles, and can be edited from this panel. If a morph is not yet placed in the display panel, an i icon will be displayed to the right of the morph in the topmost panel of Morph Tools.

This subsection provides a list of rigid bodies contained in the selected model. They can be rapidly selected from this panel.

This subsection provides a list of joints contained in the selected model. They can be rapidly selected from this panel.

For situations where it is important (generally having to do with transparency), Material Sorter allows specification of material order. It will allow sorting of any materials contained within a single object, and so is no longer of use once a model has been separated by materials.

Meshes Sorter allows rapid selection of any of the sub-objects of an MMD model, for use after it has been separated by materials. Changes to the order of the meshes will be maintained through exports or Join Meshes (above).

Bone Order allows you to check the bone properties that affect the model’s behavior on the MMD which uses different bone system. The bone order is stored in the vertex groups of the first mesh object which has a modifier named mmd_bone_order_override on it of your model. Although you can rearrange bones in Blender via this panel, PMXEditor is a better choice since you can check the result immediately.

Using the information in the MMD Material subsection of the Material tab of the Properties window, you may alter any of the material parameters used by MMD. Note that while changing any of these will affect both the Blender render and any exported model, changing Blender specific alternatives will affect only the Blender render, but not any exported model. For example, changing the Specular Color field of MMD Material will change Blender’s specular highlights (in the Specular field of the Specular subsection), but changing Blender’s Specular will not change the Specular Color in MMD Material. Edge Line is not implemented in Blender rendering by mmd_tools, but edge related changes made in the MMD Material subsection will affect exported models.

The MMD Texture subsection of Materials allows specification of the fields and flags used for texturing MMD models. As with MMD Material settings above, mmd_tools will propagate changes made in this subsection to other elements of Blender, but not vice versa. That is to say, changing the sphere blend mode in MMD Texture will affect Blender’s render, but changing Blender’s render by changing the blend mode in Texture/influence will not affect MMD Texture settings, nor any exported models.

MMD Model Information

This allows one to edit the various model-specific fields used by MMD models. Change MMD IK Loop Factor applies a multiplier to the Blender iterations of all IK bones (not just those selected), and is only accessible when a bone or armature has been selected. It will affect only animation in Blender, and not any exported model.

Contains information regarding rigid body objects, built or unbuilt. As with MMD Materials, changes made in this subsection will affect Blender’s physics, but changes made in Blender’s physics elsewhere will not affect this subsection, and will not export with a model. Some changes will take effect regardless of whether rigid bodies have been built, but some will not. It’s recommended to rebuild rigid bodies after making any changes to this subsection.

Contains information regarding joint objects. As with MMD Materials, changes made in this subsection will affect Blender’s physics, but changes made in Blender’s physics elsewhere will not affect this subsection, and will not export with a model.

Modifiers and Vertex Groups

Due to the different ways that Blender and MMD handle bones, bone order is of little importance to Blender but of potentially large importance to MMD. In order to preserve bone order through import/export cycles, imported models are generated with the mmd_bone_order_override modifier. So long as this modifier exists unapplied on even a single object contained in the model, mmd_tools will use this on export to restore bone order, to the extent allowed by edits made in Blender.

If bone order is unimportant for your model, you may safely delete or apply this modifier.

mmd_tools keeps track of the edge scale vertex attribute used by MMD models through the mmd_edge_scale vertex group. If a vertex is deleted from this group— or the entire group itself is deleted— mmd_tools will provide the default edge scale of 1 on export. If your model does not take advantage of per-vertex edge scale, you may safely delete this vertex group. Be aware of how this vertex group may affect weight normalization and Limit Total vertex groups actions (below).

mmd_tools keeps track of imported vertex order via the mmd_vertex_order vertex group. As with mmd_edge_scale above, this vertex group is safe to delete if you are not concerned with vertex order, and as above, be aware of its effects on editing weights within Blender.

Shape keys and morphs

MMD’s vertex morphs are represented by Blender’s shape keys. New shape keys that are created within Blender will be exported as vertex morphs. These morphs will be exported to morph group 4 (lower right). Newly created shapekeys will not be available as morphs to functions like Display Items (above) until they have been exported to an MMD format and then re-imported.

There are 3 shape keys created by mmd_tools to preserve SDEF information. While Blender does not respect SDEF deformation itself, mmd_tools will use these shape keys to preserve SDEF through import/export cycles. Any bones moved in Blender will not update SDEF information; you will need to update SDEF centers in an application like PMXE instead.

At this time, the only support mmd_tools provides for other kinds of morphs (bone morphs, material morphs, etc.) is through the editing panels on the toolbar. These morphs are not linked to the appropriate properties for imported models, and imported animations will not create registrations for any morphs other than vertex morphs.

Understanding the hierarchy with which mmd_tools imports and creates models can be important. Models with an improper hierarchy may not export or animate properly.

Each model consists of a single base parent object which contains [modelname]_arm, joints, rigidbodies, and sometimes temporary children. Joints and rigidbodies contain children holding MMD relevant (unbuilt) data for each. When rigid bodies are built (above), the main parent and the temporary child are populated with Blender-friendly objects that enable physics. By default, joints and rigidbodies groups are not displayed in the preview; these objects can be viewed by clicking the eye (preview) icon to the right of each on the Outliner panel.

[Modelname]_arm contains mesh, bone, modifier, and vertex group data. By default, [modelname]_arm is hidden, while its child [modelname]_mesh is displayed in the preview. Bones can be viewed by unhiding [modelname]_arm, and are contained in a nested hierarchy within the Pose child of [modelname]_arm. [Modelname]_mesh is another child of [modelname]_arm which contains object modifiers, vertex groups, and all meshes, organized by material. These meshes are in the [modelname] child of [modelname]_mesh. Each mesh (material) also has texture image data as a child.

When an MMD-style model is selected, the MMD Display subsection of the Properties shelf allows rapidly hiding or revealing elements of the model, including the mesh, armature, rigid bodies, joints, temporary objects, and names. Rendering of toon textures or sphere texture can be enabled or disabled as well. This is on a model-by-model basis, and only the selected MMD-style model will be affected.

MMD Shading allows you to choose two alternate shading styles for your MMD models. GLSL uses the same system as Blender’s GLSL shading and adds a hemispheric light to the scene to more closely resemble default MMD lighting. Shadeless is a style that ignores shadowing, shading only via any Toon texture. Reset will reset shading to default Blender shading and return Viewport Shading to Solid. Unlike MMD Display, MMD Shading options will affect the entire scene, and not just a selected model. Note that missing texture images under either of these shading modes will create a magenta warning, when they won’t under the default Blender shader.

MMD SDEF Driver

When an MMD-style model is selected, the MMD SDEF Driver subsection of the Properties shelf allows binding/unbinding MMD SDEF data of selected mesh objects. Enable Auto Run Python Scripts is required for proper functionality.

By clicking the triangle to the left of mmd_tools’s entry in the Add-ons tab of the User Preferences dialog, you may access version information and preferences.

Shared Toon Texture Folder

This allows you to specify the folder where shared toons are stored so that they may be properly rendered by Blender. Typically this should be a folder like MikMikuDanceE_[version]\Data.

Base Texture Folder

When a Base Texture Folder has been specified, mmd_tools will be used to determine the relative path of the textures of the exported models (the base folder part will be removed from the path). For example, if C:\texture has been specified as the Base Texture Folder, C:\texture\sphere\starry.spa will be exported as sphere\starry.spa, relative to the model and export directory. This allows you to customize the directory layout of the textures.

This allows you to specify the folder where csv dictionaries are located so that you can use custom dictionary instead of internal dictionary to translate names.

This allows you to specify the distance threshold for creating extra non-collision constraints while building physics. The larger the value you specify, the more extra non-collision constraints may be created.

Known Issues and Common Problems

Some objects that can be generated or imported into Blender have integrated images. These images will not always be exported in an MMD-friendly file format. This can cause display errors in MMD or other editing applications. If you are encountering errors after generating a new MMD model with texture export, please verify that these textures are in MMD compatible file formats and convert them as necessary, or delete the textures from the impacted materials.

Bones and Posing

Blender and MMD sometimes handle bones in very different manners. While most basic bone structures are handled properly in Blender with mmd_tools (i.e., identically to MMD), some more complicated structures may not be.

mmd_tools defaults to a posed model. When IK bones are not placed in default locations identical to their IK targets, or differences in Blender’s handling of bones leads to disagreement with the default pose, models may become deformed when there was no intention to do so. In order to prevent this issue and guarantee that your mesh isn’t suffering any unexpected deformation, you may want to place your model in rest position. The easiest way to do this is to select your armature from the outliner by clicking on [modelname]_arm, then switch to the Data tab of the Properties window. Under the Skeleton subsection, click the Rest Position button to prevent any accidental pose.

MMD models can contain custom normal data for each vertex. mmd_tools handles this via Blender’s Custom Split Normals Data. Unfortunately, Blender’s handling of this data can easily lead to difficult-to-fix artifacts when vertices are merged, leading to Blender adopting one or the other custom normal rather than averaging them. Prior to merging vertices, it’s advised that you clear custom split normal data. You can do this by selecting one or more vertices then, on the Geometry Data subsection of the data tab of the Properties Window, clicking the Clear Custom Split Normals Data.

Precision and Mirroring

Blender and MMD do not use the same precision for their data. This can lead to slight shifts in position. These shifts are normally far too small to be meaningful. However, they can be enough to break mirroring.

Export as previewed

In general, mmd_tools will attempt to export a model as it is displayed in the preview. Shapekeys and modifiers that are previewed, but not necessarily applied, may affect an exported mesh. However, in some situations, unapplied modifiers may not export properly. If you find this to be the case, you may need to apply the modifier. Unfortunately, this will require deleting all shape keys from the relevant object, and then recreating a Basis shapekey after the modifier application to enable export.

mmd_tools exports materials with UV seams by duplicating vertices that lay along those seams. If autosmooth is enabled, Blender can easily create inappropriate normals for these vertices. If you are having this problem, you may wish to disable autosmooth, or merge these vertices any time Blender separates them; mmd_tools will handle their separation at time of export, when it will preserve their (merged) normals. Alternatively, these normals can be fixed relatively easily in an application like PMXE through the Join Near Normals operation.

Weight Painting and Vertex Groups

One of the major advantages of editing MMD models in Blender is the ease with which BDEF4 weights can be created and edited. However, there are a number of pitfalls of which to be wary.

It is easy to create a vertex in Blender that is weighted to more than four bones, but MMD is limited to BDEF4. When mmd_tools encounters a vertex weighted to more than four bones, it drops the least influential, then renormalizes, but this renormalization may lead to problems. Before exporting, it’s recommended that you use the Limit Total tool from the Weight Tools subsection of the Tools tab of the Weight Painting toolbar, limiting yourself to 6 vertex groups. Keep in mind the additional vertex groups of mmd_edge_scale and mmd_vertex_order. The default locking of these groups will not prevent them from counting toward the limited total. If you have deleted one or both of these vertex groups, adjust your limit appropriately.

It’s also easy to create weights that are not normalized in Blender. Although mmd_tools should now renormalize these weights properly, provided that vertex groups are appropriately limited, you may wish to normalize them manually. Unfortunately, the default locking of mmd_edge_scale and mmd_vertex_order will not prevent them from factoring into the Normalize All tool (accessed from Weight Tools subsection of the Tools tab in Weight Painting mode) in Blender 2.77. If you need to normalize weights in Blender, you will need to delete these two vertex groups.

Rigid Body Animation

Rigid bodies that are generated in Blender may need some time to adapt to an imported motion. This is especially true when the origin of the imported motion differs significantly from the origin of the model onto which the motion is imported. Use of the Margin import parameter can be used to give physical bodies a chance to relax before the main animation begins.

Pasting Flipped Poses

Pasting flipped poses in Blender may lead to inappropriately renamed bones. For now, you are advised to avoid pasting flipped poses. If this is unacceptable, you may find that importing models and motions with Renamed Bones enabled solves the issue. In Edit mode of an armature object, [Armature]->[Symmetrize] may lead to the same issue on Blender 2.83+, you may use X-Axis Mirror as an alternative tool.

Lat models are designed for a very cartoonish look through the use of multiple transparent layers. With default settings, they won’t look right in Blender. Good effects have been realized through enabling Backface Culling on the Shading subsection of the Properties shelf and Shadeless on the MMD subsection of the Properties shelf.

In order to properly render shared toons (represented by Toon01.bmp through Toon09.bmp in typical MMD models), it’s necessary to make changes to User Preferences.

Improper display of Japanese language

mmd_tools currently uses Japanese names for elements of MMD models, but you may need to make changes to Blender’s preferences in order to properly display Japanese characters. In order to do so, navigate to the System tab of the User Preferences dialog and enable International Fonts.

mmd_tools stores UV morph offset data in Vertex Groups with the names in the form of UV_[morph name][axis], axis is one of <'+X', '-X', '+Y', '-Y', '+Z', '-Z', '+W', '-W'>. To edit UV morphs via mmd_tools in normal way, see tutorial How-to-create-and-edit-Material-morphs,-Group-morphs,-Bone-morphs,-UV-morphs.

mmd_tools creates custom bone properties that can cause errors when generating a rig from a Metarig with the Rigify add-on. To prevent errors, please click [Apply]/[Clean] Bone Constraints via mmd_tools Operator panel or disable mmd_tools whenever using Rigify.

Registering frames for morphs other than vertex morphs

Miku Miku Dance или сам себе аниматор

Привет, DTF. Недавно я начал увлекаться новой программой по созданию 3D-анимации под названием Miku Miku Dance. Конечно, программа простенькая и рассчитана на любителей, чем на профессионалов. Однако если хорошенько постараться, можно получить отличный видеоклип с красивыми спецэффектами. Если вы заинтересованы, бегом под кат.

Для начала нам нужно установить программу. Заходим в Гугл, пишем запрос и, переходя по ссылке, скачиваем. Я должен предупредить, что вам не стоит скачивать русскую версию программы, так как она постоянно глючит. Так что вам придётся учить английский, к сожалению. И перед нами встаёт такой интерфейс:

На удивление интерфейс программы относительно простой. Тут тебе пульт управления костями и эмоциями персонажа, управление камерой и освещением. Всё ну очень просто. Но увы, созданный на ваниле видеоклип выглядит слишком низкокачественно. Тут нормального освещения нет, и графон не качает, и уже прошитую в программу персонажи выглядят коряво. Но не стоит забывать о довольно обширном комьюнити программы, которая успела помимо моделек сварганить и графические моды.

Так что следующим нашим шагом является скачивание аддона MikuMikuEffect (mme). Опять гуглим последнюю версию, скачиваем, а содержимое архива закидываем в папку с exe-файлом. И вуаля, у нас в верхнем-правом углу программы появилась новая опция MMEffect. Но это только начало. Теперь нам нужно скачать пак шейдеров Raycast. Гуглим, скачиваем и закидываем папку с шейдерами ИСКЛЮЧИТЕЛЬНО на рабочий стол. Почему, спросите вы? Дело в том, что при установке папки с шейдерами программа начинает глючить, поскольку она не может перейти по адресу с русскими буквами. Так что оставьте папку ТОЛЬКО на рабочем столе. Теперь мы можем спокойно воспользоваться шейдерами и делать на ней красивые видеоролики. Однако, придётся нехило повозиться с шейдерами, так что я оставляю вам пару гайдов:

Уроки от Хаки

Как создать 3D модель во Vroid’е и экспортировать её в MMD/Blender

Эх, помню, как участвовала в бета-тесте, когда клепать модельки во Vroid’e ещё не было мейнстримом. Да и первые записи в группе посвящены как раз этому софту. Так что почему бы хотя бы в форме статьи не отдать дань этой японской приложухе?

Кстати, статья получается очень обширной, так что используйте оглавление.

Скачать Vroid

Как видим, продукт находится ещё в стадии беты. На момент написания статьи последняя версия — 0.8.2.

Подождите, пока архив скачается, а затем разархивируйте его в удобную папку, у меня это Programs/Vroid Studio.

Vroid Hub

Это склад прекрасных (а иногда и ужасных) моделей, созданных другими пользователями.

Чтобы прикоснуться к прекрасному или поделиться своими шедеврами с другими — нужна учётная запись сайта Pixiv (при поддержки которого Vroid и появился).
Регистрация крайне проста, но если вас смущают японские слова — используйте переводчики сайтов.

Создание персонажа

Путь к созданным аватарам:
*Путь к вашим документам*\Documents\vroid\avatars\ИмяАватара.vroid
Путь к стандартным аватарам:
*Путь к вашей папке Vroid Studio*\VRoidStudio_Data\StreamingAssets\VRoidStudio\Samples\ИмяАватара.vroid

Чтобы создать нового персонажа, нужно нажать на недвусмысленный плюсик с надписью «New Avatar» (Новый Аватар)

Нас предусмотрительно попросят выбрать пол аватара, который почему-то назван здесь как тип. Возможно, в будущем добавят больше гендеров, но пока имеем, что имеем.

Вжух — и Жизель загрузилась.

Кстати, я не знаю, как после этого вернуться на начальный экран. Надеюсь, в будущем добавят соответствующую кнопочку!

Обратим внимание сразу на Помощь (Help), это всегда пригодится.

Здесь и мануалы, и FAQ, и обратная связь… в общем, много ссылок. Я одобряю.

Хотя, помощь вы можете открыть и в самой папке. Впрочем, вас всё равно переадресуют на официальный сайт. Но мало ли кому пригодится.

И вот, вооружившись помощью, мы можем начать создавать из Жизель что-то своё, родное.

В арсенале у нас шесть вкладок:

Редактор лица

Слева — категории, справа — ползунки с параметрами, посередине — модель. Всё достаточно просто.

Не буду переводить все параметры, ибо, во-первых, их много, а во-вторых, перевести так, чтобы получилась не абра-кадабра будет очень сложно.

Все категории, Глаза, Форма глаз, Брови, Нос, Рот, Контуры лица.

Редактор тела

Очень похож на Редактор лица, только для тела. Логично.

Все категории, Тело (рост), Голова, Плечи, Руки, Ладони, Грудь, Талия (скорее бёдра), Ноги, Стопы.

Обратите внимание, что все параметры можно вписать вручную, при том, можно поставить экстремально большие или маленькие значения (включая отрицательные ).

Редактор одежды

На данный момент есть несколько пресетов одежды. Справа находятся параметры.

Есть три категории: Одежда, Аксессуары и Обувь.

Но главное, что стоит запомнить — Vroid Studio заточен под рисование текстур. То есть все базовые вещи, которые там есть, так и кричат: «Добавь мне текстуру!»
Прямо во Vroid’е возможно создать полностью готового персонажа, но тем не менее, функционал этой программы ограничен.

Если вы хотите моделировать одежду, а не рисовать её, оставьте просто «Base Model».

Редактор всего остального

На этой вкладке добавляются последние штрихи: Обводка, Rim (она же «сфера», подсветка вокруг), Затенение и даже Направление Глаз, если так можно выразиться.

Вкладка и параметры «Обводки»

Вкладка и параметры «Rim»

Вкладка и параметры «Затенения»

Вкладка и параметры «Глаз»

Как видите, можно регулировать обводку, Rim и затенение отдельно для волос, отдельно для лица (кроме Rim) и отдельно для тела.

Камера/экспорт (не редактор)

По традиции — категории:

Эмоции (также известные как «Морфы»), Фон (цвет, картинка), Позы и Анимации, Свет, Ветер, ПостЭффекты, Размер (для захвата изображения), Экспорт и Загрузить на VRoid Hub.

Я не буду останавливаться на большинстве этих категорий: поизучайте их сами. Мне же эта программа интересна только если экспортировать из неё модель.

Здесь у нас указана информация о модели и несколько параметров.
Мы можем просто экспортировать модель (Export), а можем экспортировать только волосы в формат OBJ, при этом получим сетку, состоящую не из треугольников, а из четырёхугольников. Но к волосам мы ещё вернёмся.

При нажатии на «Экспорт» откроется такое окно:

Всё равно нас попросят ввести имя для файла в формате .vrm.

Но вернёмся во Vroid, на вкладку VRoid Hub’а. Не зря я упомянула этот хаб в начале. Если вы зарегистрировались там, то можете подключиться к хабу, нажав на соответствующую кнопку.

MMD Ethics

Why do model makers make their own rules when they put up a model for download?

Once I have it, it is mine to do as I please. Why should I follow rules?

Rules are for maintaining order. The absence of rules and policies incites anarchy and chaos. Moreover, the models are governed by property rights that has been agreed upon by several countries. Users have the responsibility of observing these rules under the pain of sanctions, whether by enforcement or social indignation.

Beginner Questions

How do I move the model?

Please see this page on a quick-start guide using MMD.

How do I install a model?

Drag the unzipped model folder to the «Model» folder in the main MMD folder.

I want to use another model; how do I load another model?

Click «load» under «model manipulation» or drag it to the program.

How do I zoom in?

Scroll with the mouse wheel or use that magnifying glass on the top of the window.

How do I export the movie?

You can export the movie by clicking file, and then click «Render to AVI file», or record it with a screen recording program.

Can it export it into a GIF?

No; although you can create a GIF from the AVI you exported.

How do I add another object (not another model)?

Under the «Accessory» group, click on «Load» and select an accessory file from there.

I want to create a model for MMD, how do I do that?

Information about a program called «PMD Editor» can be found here.

Intermediate Questions

You can go to PMD editor and remove it, if the model is not yours I recommend permission from the original owner.

Can I use this model as a base of my own model? Read the readme of the model first: some model creators allow this, while others don’t.

There is a bar called «Light Manipulation» there you can change the darkness and brightness of the stage and model.

Advanced Questions

Go to «physical operation», and then click on «gravity settings».

No, it can’t unless someone is smart enough to do that, but it does have a Japanese mode option.

What are Windows 100% models? Can I have them?

Windows 100% models are models given out to people who subscribe to the Windows 100% magazine, thus, they cost money and may not be given out for free and can only be edited for personal use if you bought them personally from the magazine, and if you use a part of a Windows 100% model to make another, you cannot give out that model with the used part, either. If you find someone distributing Windows 100% models, do not download the models and report them immediately, as they are commiting a crime.

Who was Nanami? What happened to him/her?

Nanami was a famous MMD model maker that created popular models such as Teto Kasane, Nana Macne, Defoko, and Momo Momone. Fans started abusing the models’ rules by redistributing and editing without permission, causing Nanami to withdraw model downloads. Some westerners have said this action to be «childish», and others have begged other westerners who have her models to give them to them. As with Windows 100% models, Nanami models should not be distributed.

What are MMD PV’s?

MMD PV’s are music videos made by production groups that feature MMD and it’s models. Three MMD PV’s were made and featuring in the Vocaloid show VOCALOREVOLUTION and featured the LAT model CUL, who uses the Vocaloid VY1’s voice.

What is MikuMikuEffect?

MikuMikuEffect (commonly abbreviated as MME) is a plugin for MMD that allows special effects to be added to the motion. These include, but aren’t limited to, Light Sources, Shaders, Lasers, Leaves, Rain, Snow, Explosions, Fire, Smoke, etc. MME may not be compatible with newer versions of MMD as the MME engine must be upgraded to handle newer platforms.

— What is the MMD/Momi Cup?

The MMD Cup is an annual contest held on NicoNicoDouga for MMD producers to show off their models and motion. The MMD Momi Cup is the same thing, except it is held on Youtube instead of NicoNicoDouga. The winners of each contest are given a prize.

What 3D modeling software must I use to make a MMD compatible model?

There as several; though there are main programs you can use, ranking from ‘easiest’ to ‘hardest’. A lot of modelers use these programs, such as Masisi using Blender and Nanami using meta, Lightwave and PMD editor.

CAUTION: 3DCG IS A ERO/ ECCHI GAME. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

3. Hexagreat3D: Detailed information can not be explained at this time. It has been described as being similar to Metasequioa.

4. Blender: Unlike 3DCG and meta, this is a free program. Though some say difficult to master, though next to 3DCG, you can get «Blender to PMD» and export directly, and you can also import directly and use it like PMD editor though you will need the python scrypt with Blender to use this feature, and unlike most other programs, you can also render the model to very clear animation, it can also be used to create a game if one is that advanced.

Blender Related: making human: if you are having trouble making a human base in blender, there is a program that makes a ‘human’ outside of blender named «making human» you will just have to save the model as blender compatible ((on their website the creators say it is blender compatible; and recommend you use blender)) the program has ‘default’ clothes and hair and facial expressions and such; and if you know how to you can edit it more in blender. The models look very realistic, there is no feature to create a more anime-like appearance. The creators say that they ‘do not mind what you do with the models, commercial use, slander, exporting and changing is freely allowed, as long as the commercial use is NOT for any program similar/ a brand name to making human. Making human is free.

CAUTION: IF YOU USE BLENDER TO EDIT A MODEL LIKE PMD EDITOR, THE PHYSICS CAN BECOME CORRUPTED, DO NOTE THAT SOME MODELERS DO NOT WANT THEIR WORK OUTSIDE OF MMD OR PMD EDITOR; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

5. Lightwave: Detailed information can not be explained at this time. It has been described as being similar to Blender but requires payment before operation.

Привет, друг мой! В этой статье я научу создавать первые движения в программе MikuMikuDance. В этом ничего сложного нет,но для новичков (и не только) этот пост будет полезен точно.

Итак, создадим какую-нибудь позу. Попробуйте поэкспериментировать с костями. Чтобы двигать обычные кости (если что, они выглядят как иглы или просто кружки) нажмите на кость, а затем на кнопку rotate. Чтобы двигать ИК кости (квадратные кости), нажмите move. Это все находится на панельке под названием Bone Manipulation (синяя такая) Также можно выделить ВСЕ кости — воспользуйтесь кнопкой Select All. Я создала самую простую позу. На картинке понятно все.

Хорошо, мы создали эту нашу позу, но это еще не все! Нужно нажать кнопку unregisted а затем register. Но при этом вы должны быть на нулевом кадре! Если у вас русская версия, то кнопки расположены так же. Кстати,очень ВАЖНАЯ вещь: Используйте только ТАКИЕ модели (То есть модели автора Animasa) для создания поз и движений. Если вы создадите танец на фанатской модели, которые сейчас делают в Metasequoia, PMXEditor, PMDEditor и тд. (Metaseguioa — программа для моделирования 3D объектов. PMD и PMX — редакторы), то на других моделях это будет работать, скорее всего, некорректно!

Теперь приступим к движениям… Рук! Модель должна поднять руки. Итак, переходим на следующий кадр. В моем случае — десятый. Каждый пятый кадр — это, можно сказать, секунда. А переходить между ними можно клавишами со стрелками.

На десятом кадре я подняла ей руки. Нажимаем снова unregisted, а потом register. Отлично, появляется новый «квадратик» на Frame Manipulation. Это, так сказать,»новое движение».

Как сделать прыжок? Читаем:

…Итак, переходим на другой кадр.

Теперь мы перешли на новый кадр. Выбираем кость center (если что — показать и скрыть кости можно кнопкой Select (она находится в панели Bone Manipulation), ибо кости иногда мешают работать Выбираем кость и тянем ее вниз. Как? Кнопкой Move. Делаем так, чтобы модель немного присела.

Теперь переходим, опять же, на другой кадр, тянем кость вверх, вот так (как показано на нижней картинке) Важно: никогда не забывайте про кнопки unregisted и register! (Где они находятся — показано на картинке. Эти кнопки нужны, чтобы сохранять кость в той позе, в которой она находится на данный момент. Короче говоря, без нее — никуда). Когда переходите на новый кадр, и, допустим, наклоняете голову — обязательно нажимайте эти кнопки! ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО!

И… Завершаем! Переходим на новый кадр, опускаем модель вниз (ну, или кость). Жмем те же кнопки — и готово! Прыжок сделан!

Чтобы сохранить движение, нужно выделить ВСЕ «ромбики».
Нажимаем File (вверху), а потом Save Motion Data.

А теперь я научу вас изменять выражение лица.

Переходим, допустим, на пятый кадр и останавливаемся там. Теперь смотрим на окошко Facial Manipulation. Там, допустим, закрываем глаза модели. После этого нажимаем Register.

А теперь опять же переходим на новый кадр и настраиваем личико. Если вы настроили (в том смысле, что там что-то убрали, или закрыли глаза) что-то, допустим, eyes или other — то обязательно нажмите register. Или же вы настроили две брови одновременно — serious и anger. Переключите на serious и нажмите register,потом с anger делаем тоже самое. Настраивать лицо можно как угодно, то есть можно сделать его сердитым, милым, грустным, серьезным, удивленным, за это уже отвечает ваше воображение).

А как же двигать камеру?

Легко! С помощью этой панели:

Кстати, не забудьте переключиться на саму камеру:

Хорошо! Пусть эта самая камера просто передвинется.
С этого положения (см. скриншот) она начнет это делать.
Переходим на нулевой кадр. Нажимаем Register

Потом переходим на….. 35 кадр!
Теперь выбираем другое положение камеры, нажимаем ту же кнопку.

Нажимаем Play.

Такие дела. Надеюсь, вам все понятно.
Удачи :3
