![]() You have your file… though you do need to make the settings correct to make the shadows work, and stuff. Open PMXEditor and open the pmx file you saved. I recommend going to windows explorer and copy and paste the place where you wanna save so its easier to navigate. If you have both plugins installed, now you go to FILE and hover over Export and click miku miku dance model … to show you an example of how easy it is to export stuff. Unzip it, then copy the “blender26-meshio” folder to the “addons” folder on blender, then refresh the add-ons page, search for “meshio” and activate it You actually need to decompress meshio’s folder to be able to install it I recommend it only for exporting mesh never had an export with bones with it, not sure how that will work ! … and Meshio will allow you to export the model as pmx The MMD_Tools plugin will let you load mesh/vertices/polygons models but without any bones or anything like that. OK, we got our software… now we need Blender plugins. Make sure your system meets the requirements. Note: click on the names to download them It's what I'm most accustomed to.Oh, hi… its me! Teaching you how to /import/export in blender because Metasquoia is not free and not good and Blender is free and good… ) How to Export Import MMD in Blender I'd still rather stick to MMD for animating, personally. Bless whoever suggested adding the menu search function and putting it in an easy to find place. Thankfully Blender is significantly easier to learn now. (PMX has the same problem but it can create primitives now.) But you couldn't really sculpt or model within PMD editor. (Unless one is fortunate enough to have access to a heavy duty, paid 3D modeling program.) PMD was okay for adding final touches or cobbling already sculpted pieces together into a working MMD model. I reluctantly accepted that learning Blender is kinda necessary if one wishes to personally create MMD models. (I'm still confused about why the devs thought it was a good idea to cram a game engine into the 3D modeling program.)įor someone with a casual interest in 3D animations, MMD was and still is significantly easier to learn. I really did not like Blender 2.5x's interface. PMD wasn't even available in English yet and I thought it was less of a headache to understand than Blender was at the time. I picked up MMD and PMD way back in high school in the very early 2010s. I know where to find a lot of excellent MMD tutorials if you want to continue using the program. The MikuMikuEffect plugin is basically essential and the community has such a wide range of gorgeous and useful effects to make your work better.Īlso don't judge MMD for needing plugins to make things look really good when Blender also needs plugins for a lot of things. MMD can have scenes look just as good as if they were made in Blender though if you use the right effects. I come from over a decade using MMD and all I can do in Blender is use it to convert game-rips to MMD format. Whereas Blender can do all that plus creating models and things from scratch, thus has a much more in-depth system aimed at that, and ends up with a ton more complicated controls to learn. MMD is designed exclusively for animation (and by extension still images) and thus can get highly specialized in the tools to do so. ![]() I think part of the reason MMD has more content is because it's easier to pick up and learn, and I think part of that is because of the difference in purpose. In its natural state you can get some excellent lighting if you're going for a more anime style scene. But as I said, MMD was originally designed with Vocaloid animations in mind, so look at it through that lens. Raycast just allows for more realistic lighting. You can get decent lighting from MMD without any plugins. It's why so much of the original content for the program is from Japanese users. Also it was originally designed to create music videos for Vocaloid songs so lots of dance motions and characters started from that purpose. As Kawai has mentioned MMD is a lot easier to learn. ![]()
