Description So here you have a model you've put time and effort into editing.
you open it up in MMD to test it out....and then this happens.

Part of the hair decides it doesn't want to move.

Okay so I've come across this problem quite a few times when making a model. This problem ususally occurs when you delete off a bone that something was attached to- in my case here, the hair had pigtails with bones in 'em. And becasue I deleted the bones off, this happened.

Feel free to ask questions! but before you do, please read this tutorial first: [link]
this also helps explaing the little * thingy I put in near the end. that slider circled can change how attached the vertices are to the bone.
it's like percentages- 100/bright red is stuck completely, while 50/purple is only half stuck on.

Blue is not stuck on at all.

Omg please excuse my handwriting XDD

EDIT: I'm all for helping people, but this is a TUTORIAL. Not somewhere to post 'pls fix my model for me.' I can't handle all of these requests

I don't mind taking a look at people's models, but if you're asking me to do what is shown in the tutorial, then what's the point of even having this up here? try a few times more before asking me, please.

Now, one more question, I'm trying to rig the hair to the head bone, it works but there are no physics. Is there anyway to rig but keep the physics? Sorry if I'm bugging you

Ekkoberry In reply to xTsubakixCamilliax [2013-12-27 07:32:50 +0000 UTC]

You'll have to change the static physics (the ones attached to the bone) to be attached to  the new bone ;a;


nah man I'm good for questions just not "how to attach the vertices" when it shows in the tutorial like I've had so many of them omg

InvaderMimzi219 In reply to c-hinese [2014-01-07 06:55:27 +0000 UTC]

Is it a facial issue?

The entire head must be connected to the head bone. Then the eyes can be rigged. Everything else should attach only to the head bone.

You can't make expressions with this method, that's a much more complicated procedure.

Ekkoberry In reply to Fighter2000 [2013-11-17 08:50:31 +0000 UTC]

black is for when it's not connected to that bone.  You'd have to attach the area to the correct bone and make it Red.

Ekkoberry In reply to Fighter2000 [2013-11-17 08:56:53 +0000 UTC]

then you need to add the bone in / read the part with the bone from the model you're editing

Okay, so weirdly enough, for me, the problem is in one of the stinkin legs....

So I tried it, but it didn't work, and now the OTHER leg is also being weird... what do you think I'm doing wrong? 0_0

I had a leg issue with pmd>pmx conversion,  but if that's not your problem, I'm not sure what is ;x;


you might be deleting off bones you shouldn't be, but idk,,

Sorry, never mind! I just found out the problem was in the weighting of a different part and by fixing that part I fixed the one I was asking you about.  I am sorry.

Mawichan In reply to ??? [2013-08-11 20:07:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I did not know that that kind of problem could be solved this way.

I mean, I knew that I should weight a part if it isn't moving along with the model, but I didn't know that it also solved the problem if only a small section of the part didn't move.


I just tried it on a model I am  making right now as I read this tutorial.


It worked. Mostly.


Now it seems like just a single verticle isn't moving.

But I have tried it again starting from zero, like 5 times already and the same verticle keeps staying still while the rest of the problematic ones already move along.


What do you think I might be doing wrong?

So, I opened up my pmd all ready to fix the monster I've created and when I try to select her hair I can't even select it. I can select things but I can't even tell what MA is the hair anymore, I went to the window where you save and found which MAs were the hair using the textures and when I selected those they didn't look like the hair at all.

I have a monster in my computer. -3-

Ekkoberry In reply to legacyskye [2013-06-23 05:36:23 +0000 UTC]

Find the head bone and re- attach, or alternatively, re-add the head with the bone if you left it out.

okay, i did that, but the bones didn't follow the head when i tested it out.
