EDIT: Added a whole bunch of new tutorial links!!! If you have any too lemme know! We still need some for the bones, physics and posing related categories!

Please note, this is still in BETA mode, so there might not be many tutorials in here quite yet. And the layout might be a bit confusing, any criticisms to help improve this is greatly appreciated!
*Please don't be rude with it though, saying "this sucks" is NOT proper criticism.
Special thanks to for ideas of categories!

Hello! Welcome to the MikuMikuDance Tutorial Master list! Here you will be able to find MANY tutorials regarding the program MikuMikuDance (or MMD) to help guide you through whatever troubles you might be having! My name is Skyler, and I got the idea to do this while having a conversation with my friend . I realized there were Master Lists for things like effects or models but NO Master lists regarding Tutorials. I'm not sure if this might be pointless or helpful but only one real way to find out! With that being said:

What can I expect to see here?
Just as the title says, you can expect to find tutorials, guides and videos relating to helping you through MMD or PMXEditor :0. Whether you are just beginning or are a veteran but still looking to learn new things!

Can I ask to add my tutorial here?
Yes of course! However, there's a couple things I want to note as well before you do:

If it's an image: PLEASE make sure that your tutorial is understandable. In other words, make sure there's few grammar mistakes, that the font is readable and seeable, and it's easy to understand.
If it's a video: PLEASE make sure that you have a good microphone so that its easy to understand what you are saying. Be sure that you are going at an even pace while explaining what you are doing so it's easy for users to follow along with what you're doing. Lastly make sure that there is as little lag as possible in your recording.

*Regarding both types, be sure that they are up to date. Some tutorials made years ago may no longer work.

I don't understand the tutorial. Can you help me?
If you don't understand the tutorial all that well, the best thing to do is bring it up with the person who made it. I only provide the links to the tutorials aaa ;u;, if the person is no longer available to contact, perhaps leave a question here for another user to answer. I MIGHT be able to help but no promises.

Where can I download MMD?
You can download it on learnmmd.com/downloads/ :0. Simple as that, but theres more to it than that. If you wanna add cool things like effects to your pictures or videos as well you'll need to download MikuMikuEffect (or MME) too.
My friend made a few tutorial videos of how to download everything you need!
