Description
Very quick and simple tutorial about the basic things you need to know about XNALara -w- Kinda a request by some people I think?By the way, as I wrote in the end XNALara is not so difficult if you already have some experience with MMD... but I can understand that using more models at the same time and putting them in particular poses can be hard... I'm at the beginning myself xD This tutorial is just a way to show that making simple pics like the ones I recently uploaded is pretty easy.

Thank you so very much, I only since today started to work with XNA and I had no clue what I was doing until I found you. Once again thank you very much!

I'm not sure, I've actually never tried that. Logically speaking it would make sense, but I don't think I've seen the option anywhere...

Hmm... Me neither. Nothing much came up with a simple Google search either.
It's just that I recently installed XNALara to be able to view this character model: www.deviantart.com/dragonlord7…
What's really annoying me is that his legs clip through the bottom half of his changpao (what he is wearing) when I move them, not to mention his pelvis isn't properly rigged as well.
*Sigh* There is nothing more disappointing than downloading an improperly rigged character model. Smh

1) Open XNALara, open your model
2) Modify > Export scene as .obj
3) Open your .obj file in Blender
4) Export the .obj file in .x format
5) Open the .x file in PMD
And that's it! I think there's a tutorial up for this actually, so if you need me to link it, I will

thanks! this really helps with learning to use this program! is this why all your pictures look so amazing? cuz you make them in XNAlara?

Actually, no, I mainly use MMD. The only times I used XNALara the pictures didn't come out like I wanted them to, so I dropped it, lol.
I guess you need a lot of practice with this program before being satisfied with what you make. I've been used to MMD for so long that I can hardly try anything new.

Right? XNAlara is just so different and weird

and there isn't a fast way to make the poses realistic?
a bit inconsistent ain't it?!

I sincerely wish there was.
And maybe there is, but I don't know about it because I rarely use this program.

Try with the arrow buttons on your keyboard : D

It just moves the model.

Then I'm afraid I don't know how to exactly move the camera around - I still haven't used XNALara stages and that was the only information I could find.
I'm really sorry ;;;

Very nice! Seems simple enough, I always have issues moving the camera on other programs like XNALara and blender lol, but I think this helps to understand this program better for me c:

You can center the camera to a body part, using the "drop-down lists" on the "left bottom" ... called "Camera pivot:"
This list should contains camra targets like:
- head
- body upper
- body lower
- hand left
- hand right
- knee left
- knee right
- foot left
- foot right
- root
- selected bone
You can also walk through this predefined camera targets using the keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 ... to look-at this body parts.
Take also a look to the menu "Help-->3D window controls"
Recognizing menus isn't always easy, because not all menu controls look alike or even appear on a menu bar. So how can you spot them? When you see an arrow next to a word or picture, you're probably looking at a menu control.
Using drop-down lists
Drop-down lists are similar to menus. Instead of clicking a command, though, you choose an option. When closed, a drop-down list shows only the currently selected option. The other available options are hidden until you click the control.
To open a drop-down list, click it. To choose an option from the list, click the option, like "body upper".
