Tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-tec-Texas and Sorry for Inactivity

So as you may have noticed, I haven't been posting recently. It's because, first of all, I just haven't had anything to post, and second of all, I moved to Texas (!) and we don't have wifi in our house. I've also been more busy with my tumblr and my actual life than usual. Not my social life, because I currently don't have much of one due to my zero actual friends. Although we're wiping the main computer so I can't use mmd, I'll post some of my favorite mmd pictures I did earlier right now:

DT Noble Miku by caio4856: Model Review



   Okay! First of all, this is a Dreamy Theater model. Like the Heart Hunter one. These ones usually have massive amounts of polygons, just a warning to those of you with old/not so good computers. You can find the model here... And let's start the review!
   First off I'll check on the overall look. It's beautiful. I can't really give any credit to the rigger here, since the people at SEGA and Crypton did the real modeling, but the toons aren't warped and none of the choppiness of some other ripped and rigged models I have. Overall I love the model's appearance.
   Now I'll review the physics. Physical operations on and... I love it. The only flaw in my opinion is the common one where the hair is  bad from one angle and is stuck in place. But unless the whole video/picture is from the right side, it's fine. The bow and skirt are beautiful and realistic- they've really done a great job. I look forward to using this model later.
   Up now is the movements and facials, and I'm loading up Rolling Girl motion to see how she works out... ... ... Okay, love it. The physics are good. She has emotion. Her movements are fluid. I love the facials.


Overall Ranking: 8/10
Recommend?: Yes!

Pixlr!



 Pixlr (no, not pixiv) and Pixlr-o-matic are lifesavers when you do an MMD picture and want it to look better without buying photoshop or using phototshop. This is a picture I did on MMD with Miku holding the camera. I used fisheye effect with MME. It was supposed to be an old picture of somebody's girlfriend. But it didn't look any bit convincing. This is where Pixlr came in. Pixlr, located at Pixlr.com, is a free photo editing site. It's like Picnic, but it hasn't closed down. So I loaded up the picture and made a COPY of the layer. I then applied a layer mask to layer 1 and used Gaussian blur. I then used blur on that layer and put in a black background. I removed the layer mask from layer 1, and ta-da!... Still not convincing. This is where I use Pixlr-o-matic. I go to Pixlr.com/o-matic and open my picture up, as usual. I scroll through the various image filters until I find the perfect one. Then I re-look, just to be sure. I then move to the next step- adding more stuff to it to make it look old. This time I used 'scratches', but sometimes I do 'paint', 'focal', or 'divine'. Usually I decide to move on and do a frame, so I do. This time, I don't like that look, so I skip step 3 and move on to saving. I save it as mmdpic3- this is the third version- and close the Pixlr tab. My work is done.

A lesson in MME or: Why to never hit a force field.

This is why we never run at force fields. On request from my bestie, I made a video of Miku showing us what happens when we hit (are thrown at) a force field. Sorry Miku! *Miku punches me* I only needed to take a request! Miku is currently in the mmd hospital for things similar to 'get down'. (If you haven't seen get down it's here). But now that you know about the force field incident, yes, I threw her at it, we can talk science- err, mme. Have you seen the Self Lightening effect? This is a tutorial, plus a download page. If you only follow these steps you get  something creepy. SO! You don't just put an effect on your model. Do the lightening. Okay, load up lightening.x in the accessory thing, then open up mme. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BLACK BACKGROUND FOR LIGHTENING! On mme, don't load anything. Go to the second tab and load SavePos on your model. Then go to the third tab and load Mask. If you have any problems, I'll help!

Epic Model, Plus Some Credits


This is a rip from the game Project Diva. If you don't know, Dreamy Theater is a part of project diva (sometimes shortened to PD) and is usually known in the mmd community as DT. And a popular model source! The fancy people will rip a model and add physics and bones, fix any glitches (usually), you get what I'm saying. But this is a DT model from project diva. Now you know MMD lingo. The model, Heart Hunter Miku, is seen singing world is mine in Proect Diva, and PoPiPo at the 39 giving day's concert medley. I like her, and finally she is mine. I love this person. The model has great detail too! Download Link

RAR to ZIP (and other goodies)

Okay, I know how much you hate .rar files. It happens to the best of models. Rar files mean you can't get it usually, and if you're like me and have a suckish computer, then winzip and winrar aren't going to cut it. So I present to you the quick and easy rar to zip file converter.The two files for these append miku's are both rar files. So basically load the file, select output file and SHAZAM! Works for me, works for you. If you have any issues then just tell me, and I'll help you. :) By the way, if you put adult shader on a PD or DT model it looks good. Unless you pay attention. Then you'll notice that it gives them wierd eye thingies. I currently can't use MME on one computer, so I'll be only giving you good pics at certain times. For now, please be satisfied!

Adult Shader!

Hello world of MMD-ers! It's me, Shiny! Today we will learn about the wonders, and horrors, of Adult Shader. It is a great MME effect you can use in a pinch! Adult shader is a shading effect to make the models look better, more 3d, you know? If you use it on LAT models it makes them look severly aged, as you can see here. Here's a link to Adult Shader Mediafire download as a .zip file... http://www.mediafire.com/?54g9j8ehx6z0t9d Adult shader looks really good on other models, like Nanami Teto. The whole "bad LAT" thing is probrably because of something with her awkward face modeling. So yeah, there you go,
