Description
So I discovered advanced editing and that there is a knife tool in pmx. I looked and there were no tutorials or information about it at all. At least not on DA. So I wanted to share with everyone this info. Specially since it can be Super useful for editing.I mean if you need to create new vertices you don't have to abandon or export the mesh.
Edit: Thanks to maddoktor2 I know there is in fact also a knife tool in Pmde. Also thanks to waltervd I can tell you all holding shift will snap it to angles. I.e the vertices will follow the shape of your mesh!
Note 2: You have to release the mouse when you're done dragging to get the vertices.
Object used is my flat chest mermaid dress you can find here: fav.me/dbbl7h6

FYI if you hold shift it snaps to angles
it does fuck up textures from time to time so use it carefully >.>

Oooo that's super useful.
And yeah it can,but that's that a risk with any pmx editing. One just has to be careful or willing to edit the texture itself.

I wouldn't be surprised if people used it for if the importing of the models into other programs was messing up for some reason too.

the only time i had a BIG use for that knife tool is when some one asked me to rig the skirt of a princess peach model that was ripped from a game
it was so low poly i added more verts using the knife tool to add a line or 4 xD
it helped out a ton >.>

A game model that's low poly? What game was it? All the game rips I've seen are high or medium poly

the whole skirt had like 4 to 5 rows of verts...

Pmx Editor is a program used to rig and put together 3d models that can be used in MikuMikuDance.
An example of things that have been made with it:

Ah! Really pretty 
Thanks for explaining. The first time I saw it, I thought you were digitally carving a pumpkin and was amused. XD
Complex stuff tho, really cool

It's surprisingly easy once you have the hang of it. But at first it's really daunting.
As for digitally carving a pumpkin,well they do have 3d pumpkins one can download and edit. So technically you can do that with the program.
