can anyone fix the guitar version of Tokyo teddy bear for serious furry face and cool furry face I just cant doo it and could some one fix the guitar strap to fit serious and cool furry face? please

Why is there a request for something to do with guitar straps for furries on a deviation for a Sci Fi style stage? Please take your furries concern to a furries interest group please. Thanks.

I could give you a hug ...!!!
Just what I needed and it's such a good quality video too. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you - and guess where the video's going?

Another fine effort. Wasn't too sure about Miku and Rin at the back there though.

.......You know I hate you now right? LOL! Like I said before hindsight is 20/20. Β I wish I would of done that earlier, it would have made it so much easier. Β Once again excellent instructions!

LOL - guitars are a pain-in-the-butt

Yay! another fine stage concept... gonna have to try this for sure

You can use multiple platforms to fit in more of the PTX crew - now there's a nice challenge for you
On an unrelated note, I'll be off DA next week for awhile, so I'll catch up with you in mid-summer or early fall. Take care

Well good luck, be safe and have fun.
I'll be playing with VMD Spectrum...

Looks very interesting... and hmm.... an AKB0048's platform-like platforms is of course great!

The platforms in the anime are a lot smaller. I started building one of those and then I realized that a lot of people would not be able to animate one of those; so for now I'm issuing this "super-sized" version.
Mind you, even with a large unit like this, it can be animated much like those in the anime. I've build in all the elements necessary for that to be doable.

I'd be looking forward to a smaller version in the future, hopefully once the time come my skills will be enough to use both the big and small platforms without models jumping everywhere
Thank you very much! I was really fascinated by the platforms in anime!

The problem with the small one is that animating it will be a pain/challenge as it needs to closely coordinate with the performer. This is "hard" as the platform is small and the performance is in true 3D space. So just adapting a motion for it will be a big project.
π: 0 β©: 1
I see, there are two ways I think it could work. The hard way is to manually make a motion which the model would be mostly stand in one place so we can use the motherbone to sync with the platform's motion. The easy way is to sacrifice the platform as a model file, make it an accessory and attach it to the model, which means there won't be any slider, but it would eliminate the difficulty in moving in around, if the model need to step off, detaching the platform from the bone and moving it to where it should be wouldn't be hard, either.

My thinking was along those lines too.

Ah, I see, thank you.

Thanks! Yeah it's a fun one; I was having a blast with it earlier.

Any idea how to make something full transparent like a glass cup? Because when I put it transparent, faces of different tones are seen
π: 0 β©: 2
Just a thought - you might be able to do it with another 3D program like Meta. MMD doesn't really like the SketchUp smoothing algorithm - take a look at the picture above and you can see how poorly some of the smoothed metal surfaces have been rendered.
If I rendered the same surfaces using one of the Ray Trace plugins for SketchUp, the results would be much more accurate.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know how to use Meta, that's a problem. Though is there a way in meta to be able to see the points in all sides and not just from the face it is at?
π: 0 β©: 1
All 3D programs use the same concepts - it's just maths. All 3D surfaces have 2 faces, terminology may differ, but it's the same thing. Outside and Inside face. For most games you do not want 2 sided objects as that increases processing requirements. Why calc something that's never seen right?
For other applications, being able to see both sides of a polygon is necessary. Even in MMD some surfaces need to be double sided - such as transparent floor which can be viewed from above and below.
So, in answer to your question about meta:
1/. I've never used it but it has got to work similar to other 3D apps
2/. Since it's all just maths, there has to be a way to see both sides of a polygon - please refer to their manual.
BTW, this is one of the reasons why I use layers in SketchUp - to sort out the objects that need to be double sided from the single sided ones.

In PMD you can see the vertice from any direction but in meta you can't
π: 0 β©: 0
That's a shortcoming of the MMD rendering engine. I ran into that problem a lot. Workaround is not to make a double sided transparent material.
π: 0 β©: 1
so, how am I supposed to do that if there is only one material -.-
π: 0 β©: 1
Remember in the tutorial I mentioned that polygons have 2 faces? Don't export with back faces and you'll have a single-sided material. Look carefully at the vase in the tutorial. It's transparent and it doesn't fragment visually, but it's also wrong as in a real vase you can see the other side (the inside surface of the vase). So this is the result of the workaround, which works as most people won't notice the discrepancy. If I did the model with both sides visible, the fracturing will be immediately apparent.

would be troublesome if the back face was required though. Does MMM have the same result with MMD if it is exported as double sided?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not sure. I don't use MMM enough to be able to comment.
