Description
Recently, a user in the "MMD for Dummies" Discord Server ran into an issue with a couple of stages (the stages being reduced to black-and-white shilouettes) that they downloaded when attempting to apply Raycast. I took a look and found the problem, and then discovered an issue that another user had asked about previously (the shadows moving with the camera instead of staying fixed). I have no idea how common this issue is, but it was suggested that I make a tutorial about it. So here we are.

Based on my observations, it seems that if the model in question does not have a name in the MME window, then basically...NOTHING auto-loads on that model so you have to go through EVERY tab and manually apply the default files, such as for the PSSM tabs. This tutorial assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of how to set up and use Raycast.

If you are having trouble seeing the "moving shadows", note that in panel 4 (where the stage first appears in color) there is a patch of sunlight on the ground behind and slightly to Rain's left side. In the next panel when I moved the camera, that same patch has moved from behind her over to her right where she is pointing, while a second one has moved to her left.
