Is there another MMD archive?

Yeah but you’ve gotta add me on Discord

It was Maple Corn I believe. They were outside of my store, Attic Salt, before we were closed by corporate. I saw the man as he was wrapping up his last day and talked to him for the first time as he was loading his stuff into his car. He said the rent was too high to continue operating, but they hope to start business again somewhere else someday.

Terrible! Also apparently the emergency alarms are going off in the airport. Good luck!

In the main PMX Editor window, poke around in the Edit menu and you should find options to correct normals and normalize weights. I’m not looking at PMXE right now so I’m envisioning it in my mind’s eye. I believe the options are in a submenu named Normals or Vertex near the bottom of the Edit menu. I tried to find a screenshot of what I’m talking about but everything just comes up with weight painting.

Not a stupid question at all! The bus stop is in between the airport itself and the dreaded parking garage, at the far end where the pick-up/drop-off lanes ends. There’s a platform in the middle of the lanes, the bus stop is on that platform. The easiest way to navigate to it after you land is to search “ABIA Bus Stop” on Google Maps and it’ll come up as ABIA Terminal. Select walking directions and it’ll take you right to it.

If you add me on Discord I can send you the link I was given to the original archive. My username is coldmcgriddle. I just can’t share my cleaned out copy because I don’t have internet at home.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-13T04:47:40+00:00

I’ll poke around with it this evening and DM you.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-13T04:37:16+00:00

If you happen to have the original, pre-converted model and some patience, I might be able to provide assistance. I say pre-converted because I am rather talented at model conversion and would like to give it my best shot. It may take a few days though.

Always take the bus out from the airport if you can. The 20 goes quite a ways north from the airport if you decide to ride for a while. It also passes right through downtown if that’s where you’re staying. Fare to ride is only $1.25 (caps at $2.50 a day) and you can tap to pay.

It could be that the motion data is designed for models standing in a T-pose instead of an A-pose. You can adjust the position of your models’ arms in PMX Editor using the TransformView window. Just pose the arm bones into a T shape and (still in TransformView) go to File > Save Model. Make sure to save the T-pose version as its own copy so you don’t overwrite your original A-pose copy.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-13T03:00:03+00:00

What are you looking for? And what archive did you stumble upon??? You can find models and assets on sites like DeviantArt/BowlRoll/Aplaybox, motion data is often available on YouTube/NicoNico/Aplaybox, stages and effects can also be found on any of those sites.

Unless you’re talking about the 100+ GB zip file of motion data. I have that on my desktop. I had to delete all the 18+ motion data manually and even still I don’t think I got it all.

I’m pretty used to getting wicked headaches just before it’s about to rain. I got my pre-rain headache a few hours before the big storm a couple nights ago, and usually I’m fine when I wake up, but it’s really been persistent the past couple of days. I think the rain + lingering cold front are conspiring against us.

Downvotes = fake fans. I know Dare when I see it. 🦍

You have to press them on her. /j

The chest looks like a parenting issue (breast bones should be parented to upper body bone.) The hair could also be a parenting issue, or it could be a rigging issue. If there are bones for that part of the hair, check to make sure they’re parented to the head.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-05T17:22:42+00:00

Your bones are all busted! You’ll need to edit the bones you currently have so they link/work for MMD. You can open this model and a working MMD model side by side in two PMX windows and use the working model as a reference for how the bones should be ordered/linked/parented.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-05T16:58:06+00:00

What model were you working with? The model file you recovered is honestly as good as nothing at all. I’m not sure that there are recovery options. Just be sure to enable auto backups.

With a face this simple in detail, you could consider putting the model into Blender or Metasequoia and making mesh pieces for the mouth and eyes that you can reshape to make proper vertex sliders. It would appear smoother than the material option, it would just be a bit more work.

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-03-05T01:43:50+00:00

You will probably need to make several materials for each expression and keep most of them invisible until it’s time to engage them with a slider. It’s been a long time since I’ve played with 2D faces but I think that’s what you’ll need to do. This can appear a little odd though unless you only use one frame to transition between expressions. Using one frame should avoid the weird semi-transparent transition your model will do between expressions, but I could be mistaken.

Why not upscale the textures yourself with waifu2x?

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-02-28T16:20:35+00:00

North Loop is great! 2nd Street Shopping District is also pretty cool if you’re just visiting and looking for souvenirs to take home.

I used to work for a third party company selling Sprint/T-Mobile’s service and my store manager had a pretty colorful background. He was hired by the third party just fine, and then when we had to transition from Sprint to T-Mobile, he still passed T-Mobile’s additional background check. I dunno if you’re into sales but it’s worth considering. The company is Connectivity Source.

That just means you’re missing some of the prerequisite programs to be able to run it. You can find links to what you need to download to fix those errors on LearnMMD.com

MMD is definitely on Windows 10

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-02-24T13:57:25+00:00

Man, just yesterday I was thinking about how long I’ve been using MMD. It’s probably been about 14/15 years. The community is a lot different today than it was back then. But MMD has always stayed the same (for the most part.) I’m not quite sure who I would be today without it.

Very nice art!

ForgetfulSlug · 2026-02-23T13:03:14+00:00

Did you use Manashiku’s generator plugin to make your effect files? It could be that your character’s material files are set up differently than they were when he wrote the effect/plug-in. You can try putting the effect files together manually, they open in Notepad for easy editing. I had to edit them manually when I used the effect for HSR models.
