Description
This tutorial serves as an introduction as to how to sort out the order in which MMD draws models which is important to resolve draw order conflicts. The program really does need to be told what to draw and when as it has no intrinsic intelligence as to how to resolve a scene.If you have any questions, please post these below. In general I will not be able to resolve a specific problem that you're having as I can't see what you're doing; so please refrain from asking for specific solutions.
However, do note that in most instances you should be able to resolve most conflicts by ordering your models as shown here in a logical manner. Also, the program can in some instances, be incapable of resolving all conflicts. Each scene really needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR MODEL LINKS

This can be applied to affects, right? I'm having troubles getting "Self Burning" to stay behind my model.... I don't want his face sticking through it weirdly.

Look under the Background(B) menu on the menu bar across the top of the MMD interface.

If using a effect like Particle or Otome, which cause floating objects to move around the screen, where would they go in the draw order list? They are accessories, but as it is I'm seeing black circles around them instead of transparency. I'm not totally understanding the badly translated field but I figure it has something to do with it.

You probably will have to prioritize the effects (stack them higher up on the list) if you're seeing vestige pixelation. You're on the right track, treat them as models with transparencies.

It's a Daihatsu Mijet tricycle van which were common to Japan after WW2 thru till I believe the 1960s. They're basically powered by a motorcycle engine and are about the size of VW Beetle. Very suitable for the Japanese urban environment with their narrower streets back then. These days they are collector items.

While I know how to work with the draw order on a basic level (like Ginjishi models have to be loaded last out of all the models), I didn't know some of the other things here. Hopefully I can get the shadows to look better like in the pictures here

Thanks for posting it! Maybe I can finally get Rain to work!

Rain doesn't work on my system as my card doesn't support it or any other effect that uses particle graphics.
