If you move your mouse and this menu disappears, don’t worry. Go ahead and confirm the deletion by clicking on the Delete option. Make sure your mouse cursor is in the main, 3D view, then tap your DEL key, and a confirmation menu will pop-up right at your mouse cursor. By default, Blender loads a cube for you to play with, but you don’t want that, so right click on the cube to select it. When Blender finishes loading, the first thing you’ll see is a pop-up. For example, look at my path and folder contents– yours may look slightly different! Running Blender for the first time That folder should contain folders like properties and files like utils.py. If you’re using Blender 2.77a, the files in the download should go in 2.77\scripts\addons\mmdtools. To install it, find the directory to which you installed Blender. MMDTools doesn’t have good installation instructions. We can’t always help with these, because it’s very hard to do long distance tech support, but if you ask, we might be able to help. Installation of Blender and GIMP should be painless, but you may still have issues. You’re smart enough to figure out these installations yourself, so I’m just going to give you links. You’re going to need administrator privileges on your computer to install these programs. Installing Blender, MMDTools, and GIMPīlender, MMDTools, and GIMP are all open source software released for free to the public! I’m very grateful to the many talented programmers who were more interested in helping everybody than they were in making a profit or holding on to their tools for personal use. It’s one of the simplest things we can do with Blender, and it will give use a taste of how Blender works. We’re going to use it to help us create a skin texture. In this tutorial, we’re going to use Blender to do something that we could never do in PMXE. One day, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. And you’ll have access to fantastic new tools. Your first month in Blender is probably going to be a period of intense frustration.īut eventually, it will click. And the various import/export scripts that various talented programmers have created are unfortunately limited, and sometimes difficult to use. Blender was never meant for people new to 3D modelling. You’ll want to step up to Blender.ģD modelling is complicated. Eventually, you’re going to want to map UV coordinates more accurately, use proportional editing in more advanced ways than are possible with PMXE, and make cool new textures. But there will come a time when its limits become apparent. And it’s a great introduction to 3D modelling. PMXE is a great program for making minor edits to MMD models. H ow do I make MMD textures?
