Description i know this doesn't count as a tutorial technically but still i hope this helps people.

i kinda contradict my self in the last image that i don't know how to explain the rig  since i just sorta did
its more how to put it together is hard to explain 

bertus also derped since he is referring to his own bones while he is pointing to wards hugo
bertus > thats not my fault you wrote the whole thing !!!!
walter > well you could have said it to me while i was typing !!!!
bertus > -sighs- ah well its up now already i hope the readers wont be confused about it 
walter > i hope so as well ...... they're smart enough

This is a HUGE help! I've always wondered how the pony models are rigged. Can extend to a handful of Pokemon models as well.

"now i wont to gate pmd"

pmd editor is free 
mmd is free ( program were they dance )

time to learn everything ( depends on your learning speed ) TAKES MONTHS!


its fun to xD
the rig took me a month to get right ono
i am thinking of giving out his older model but i am not sure

This is really cool! Sadly my pmd editor won't work no matter what I do. But do you do model requests or commissions?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Waltervd In reply to FlameAlicorn [2015-02-28 10:21:56 +0000 UTC]

sorry i don't 

Commissions are actually against mmd rules ( cant make a profit if not everything you use isnt yours) and request is something i do on a rare ocasion or when i am bored enough

So does this mean that if I make a 4 legged animal I can attempt to duplicate your rig?

(Still think the whole idea of this rig is awesome )

Waltervd In reply to RJMMD [2015-02-25 01:22:44 +0000 UTC]

yes 
yes you can
i took the bones from a TDA model since i starting using those the most
but it should work with pretty much any leg bones ( i hope )

keep it PMX pmd doenst like backwards bending legs xD

RJMMD In reply to Waltervd [2015-02-25 03:41:28 +0000 UTC]

I'm actually using TDA Append Miku right now to make a motion data on account of how good the rig is

Could always test that fact if I wanted xD
But I thought that backwards bending leg bones was a sign that you somehow broke the IK chain. Atleast that's what people always told me when it happened on humanoid models.

Slowly I'm figuring out everything that is a new reason to use PMX instead of PMD xD

Waltervd In reply to RJMMD [2015-02-25 06:37:35 +0000 UTC]

If u wanna know how to turn the hind legs backwards you could look up a pmd to pmx convert tutorial
just to find were the numbers are

RJMMD In reply to Waltervd [2015-02-25 23:35:20 +0000 UTC]

This is true,
I'm gonna guess it's not as simple as:
~ Select bones
~ Rotate bones
~ Unselect bones
~ rig object to bones

and then it works in MMD like magic?

Waltervd In reply to RJMMD [2015-02-25 23:58:14 +0000 UTC]

no not exactly xD
there is a way i could explain but then i would have to hold a livestream to do it.

i could host one ?

If I can't find a tutorial/figure it out sure
I enjoy failing at these things before shown how to do them simply so I know both the right and wrong way to do them as well as be able to change the wrong way into the right way

siletrea In reply to Waltervd [2015-02-25 15:40:23 +0000 UTC]

I usually don't rig anything with different weigh values other then 100 because it just doesent work ...also I just rig the crotch 100 to the lower bones and the legs get rigged diagonally and well it looks good to me..

siletrea In reply to Waltervd [2015-02-25 17:01:45 +0000 UTC]
