How to install Blender2PMD: [link]Please note that this tutorial WILL NOT:
*Teach you Blender
*Make finished, ready to dance, fully boned models
If you can't do any of this yourself, I strongly suggest just waiting until someone else does it for you. There are several experienced modelers and converters uploading them every day.
PART TWO: [link]
All of these are completely free and are what I personally use!:
PMD Editor: [link]
PMD Size Changer: [link]
Blender (v2.49b is the best IMO): [link]
*UPDATED AS OF APRIL 2012* Blender2PMD Plugins/Scripts: [link]
Un-zipper: [link]
Un-Rar: [link]
Where I personally get models to convert: [link]
A useful site for beginners: [link]

Okay, first off I've put all the files you'll need on my Mediafire here: [link] to be sure they work and are correct.
Download, unzip and put them in your Blender's 'plugins' folder.
Not the 'scripts' folder like I told some of you, but it won't hurt anything if they're there or you have multiples.
Thanks to my good best buddy Google, the final crucial step I'd forgotten:
Now to set blender to Japanese~ (Skip if you already know how)
1.Go to the top panel (It's the one with 'file', 'add', etc., etc.) and pull it down and expose the 'settings panel'.
2. You should see 'view and controls' go to 'language&fonts', [in mine you had to click 'International' here] click on the 'language: english' buttons and select japanese.

...When I try to access the site, it says 403 FORBIDDEN.

I just tried all the links regardless, and they're all working...
Try it again~
If it's the first link up there, just refresh it. It isn't sending you to a site, it's a direct link to a download so it should immediately start saving.

Oh... yeah, some people had the same problem before (I've checked.). Maybe the server had stopped?
But thanks a lot c:

Yeah it was probably just down then.
But thanks for speaking up anyway!
I'd hate to be sending people to dead links. x__x
π: 0 β©: 0
...Which site? There's like 6 listed here, sooo...
π: 0 β©: 1
The original Blender one... 
(Also if you have any idea to convert from XNALara, then that'd be awesome too.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I've never used (or heard about til now) that before so I have no clue personally...
But I did manage to find a XNALara to Blender tutorial if that'd be of any use to you: [link]
Neat models for that program too from what I saw... Maybe I'll look it over some day now that you've pointed it out haha~

Ooo. That'd help! Thanks (:

I've tried to make the textures attach, but they always show up as white no matter what. Is it my computer, or what?
π: 0 β©: 1
It could be the version of MMD/Pmd editor you're using.
Some of them don't support certain texture's types, so try updating those.
If you're sure the texture's name is good and a newer version of those doesn't help then something is really wrong with it.
Even a really bad computer will show textures, so I doubt that it's that.

I wonder if blender2pmd hates me because I've tried lots of version of it and Blender/Python, even copied it to the Python folder's script, and the import/export still does not show up on my Blender. ;~;

may someone can help me? I don't get it how to use blender2pmd. Can someone tell me what should I click in Blender to export it as a pmd file?
π: 0 β©: 1
File -> Export -> 'something' (pmd)
I don't have it open atm so I don't know what the 'something' is but it *does* say (pmd) right next to it, so it should be pretty easy to find.

Hey,excuse me,but I'm having problems with the Blender2PMD.For some reason it didn't allow me to install it DX Could you help me? ;;

What version of PMD Editor are you using?

Defiantly an older version...
(Not on my computer atm so I can't check)
But that shouldn't change anything from the tutorial.

Uh.... how exactly do you stand the model up? I'm converting ME over and I can't get him to stand.

Select/highlight everything and rotate it up, then drag it around until its nice and centered~

Can you give me a link to the Japanese patch?
π: 0 β©: 1
Uhm, japanese patch for what exactly? >.>
π: 0 β©: 1
AH, I forgot all about that! >.<;
Unfortunately I couldn't find any links to it and the site I got it from seems to be GONE, so I just zipped up all the files in my plugins folder for you: [link] Hopefully that's all you need (there isn't much in there) because I couldn't find anymore of it on my computer even. e__e

Between if Anyone DOn know HOW to Use Blender2PMD..
HERE
[Title]
Blender2Pmd
[Version]
importer 3.10 exporter 3.12
[Requirements]
Blender2.49b
Python2.6
(Tested with Blender2.49b & Python2.6.6)
[Usage]
Β· Import_2_pmd.py, export_2_pmd.py, put in the blender scripts folder pmd_2.py, then start Blender.
β’ The "File" from the "Import" or "Export" and select "PMD file for MMD" because there can be used to select items.
Configuration files of the same name as the exported file Β· (. Xml) by using, you can set the details of the PMD file.
(When importing a configuration file is generated for export)
In order to properly display transparent Β· TGA file, then import the texture window panel button [F6] from the Image tab "Premul" Please Turn ON button.
If you do not use the name of the default look Β· XML file "Basis" and to please. (If you do not look exports)
[Usage Notes]
[Important]
No confirmation of file overwrite.
Sometimes-Import (filename). Xml, sometimes Export (file name). Generates a file of pmd.
- It is likely that the PMD to overwrite the original file when writing. Please note well
[Note]
Most behavior is not linked to Armture is not guaranteed.
Fails to top Exporting to have the material has not been set.
If you have made immediately after the import export, no data is normal.
- (Resolution) of the mesh into the edit mode again, fix this by selecting one vertex.
β’ There is a complete conversion tool
The PMD-models can be created directly in Blender, it can not be and vice versa. Is an auxiliary.
- It is recommended that you make final adjustments with only model editing tools.
β’ The information is missing shaders
I did not get left-aligned on how to solve it in Blender's shading and PMD.
β’ When you make the integration of imported materials.
- Materials will be integrated with the same value as the same.
Surface material has been allocated a number beyond the material becomes -16 0 (default)
Contains a process for converting UV to UV from the top surface β’ When you export.
- Has been repeatedly tested but are also assumed to be unexpected. Please make a backup.
- For a part is not using the texture will not be processed.
Divided into triangular faces β’ When you export.
- Sometimes it is quite reasonable to divide an unexpected shape.
- It is recommended that you partition manually beforehand.
Please keep it uniform β’ Object reference point.
- Output before each mesh, please be consistent reference point Armtuer (method below)
- May not be properly output a different reference point.
There is no guaranteed - Other, please save a backup in addition to.
- Error handling Demasen teamed Nantes ('β `) please do not cry so that support can fall.

It is recommended that you fit around -10 000.
Β· IK is to be processed from the top of the list if you want to be careful multistage.
- Example: the day after tomorrow look to be toe and the toe from the IK IK leg before.

> About Toon Shader
Implementation of the toon shader in DirectX in a common way to use textures, also been adopted as MMD (guess)
I come to strongly influence the color of the shadow, texture pattern is fixed to the system Let's see (you can add to a limited extent), so
Please colors to find the good editor, such as PMD. (You may be referring to existing models).
> How to move the point of the object
First, move the 3D cursor.
1, 7 on the keypad.
2, (0,0,0), left-click near the
3, shift + s> "Cursor β Grid" make sure that the 3D cursor to click on the center.
4, 3 on the keypad.
Left-click near the 5,0,0,0
6, shift + s> "Cursor β Grid" make sure that the 3D cursor to click on the center.
If the mesh:
7, Edit mode
8-button panel> Editing (F9)> Mesh tab "Center Cursor" button pressed.
If the bone:
7, object mode
8,3 D view of the "Object"> "Transform"> "Center Cursor" and select.
(Orz Sorry cryptic description)
> About UV
Due to the PMD on the vertices of a UV UV UV plane in Blender.
If there is a different plane with the same vertex UV values ββwere dealt with by increasing the vertex.
> About configuration files
When reading, (PMD file name.) Creates a configuration file called xml.
When exporting, the export folder (PMD file name.) Retrieves any file xml.
Fixed character encoding is UTF-8.
Takes the standard model might be easier for subsequent processing.
> About the material color
Has been Diffuse * Light + Ambient and process for each color.
For example, if you set to 0.7 Ambient, light MMD standard (0.6) in Diffuse maximum value greater than 0.5 (1.0).
Forget the white and export directly to the MAX because quite frankly is a familiar story.
(Ambient items as specified in Blender% so because I chat to substitute MirrorColor, without first going to be a targeted color.)
The value of Ambient seems fairly modest set is better.

Toka specifications Blender, Toka specifications PMD. I have a lot to know ...
Going to put limits on or altered, but the improvements are happy if you could share.
Furthermore, compensation for damages resulting from using this program can not. I'm sorry.

π: 0 β©: 1
Ah okay~
It should be right in the top part of your Blender folder.
Mine goes like this:
blender-2.49b-windows -> blender-2.49b-windows (lol repeated WHY) -> plugins, .blender, python26 etc
