I forgot to mention, but to load a texture into the UV panel, all you need to do is drag-and-drop the texture map that you want into that panel.

I'm just wondering, how do you add UV textures in the newer PMDE. I have the one that'll load pmx models.

hey how did you have Rin have two different eye textures?
im trying to do that on a model and i cant figure it out :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Texture each eye separately.

I don't know how to...
π: 0 β©: 1
Each eye needs to be a separate material and mapped individually.

or you can open gimp and retexture them that way and then place them in the folder with rin itΒ then it will show up on the pmd

Nope doesn't necessarily work that way. Depends if the eyes are mapped to the same texture or separate textures.

I read this thoroughly at least six times. I think some brain goo is coming out of my ears.

Which site do you go to, to download the english pmd editor?
π: 0 β©: 1
VPVPwiki if I remember. Just search here on DA for a link, someone's got to have it posted somewhere here.

can you do a tutorial on fixing eye bones? Like, I have an edit I made that when you load it, her eye bones are in the wrong position, but they`re normal in PMDe
π: 0 β©: 1
A tutorial isn't going to fix that. Something else (wrong) is going on here.

Why aren't animasa models able to put on different texture?
π: 0 β©: 2
They were not textured mapped in the first place (except the eyes on some of the models). You can map textures to these models yourself. Both Neru models in my Vocaloids gallery were custom mapped to allow them to use texture maps.

my guess is because they don't have textures
they where just built onto the model (not sure )
though, I think you can change the toons on the model

Nope, but there are quite a few of those around DA.

Thank you soooo much ... I have a question what area off a texture would you find the eyebrow?
π: 0 β©: 2
Also if you were to place a new item into the pmd such as clothing for a base how would you change the texture of the new item?
π: 0 β©: 0
Depends on the model. Also, many models don't use textures for the eyebrows, just materials.
π: 0 β©: 1
What would you suggest for me to do for changing the eyebrows on a model?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
You do realize that, that question is almost impossible for me to answer, right?
Recolor it ...
Swap it out with the eyebrows from another model ...
Make your own ...
Are all possible options.

I took one more look at you r tutorial and I realized I'd done something freakishly stupid. Your tutorial helped me perfectly. Sorry for causing trouble and thank you for the tutorial.

But am I doing something wrong? The facials won't stay. ;_; I think I did something stupid.
π: 0 β©: 1
"The facials won't stay" << unsure what you mean by that.
If I am to be able to help you I need to know:
1/. What you're trying to do
2/. What you've done so far
3/. What's not working
