![]() ![]() You don’t have to read the whole thing for this project, just enough of it to be able to know your way around Blender and how to build basic models. If you don’t have Blender you can download it here:Īn excellent basic Blender tutorial can be accessed here: Either Photoshop or GIMP if you want to make your own texture maps.Either the PMD or the PMX Editor – PMD 0.1.3.9 or equivalent is assumed.If you follow our directions, you should be able to end up with a functioning stage for MMD that looks something like what is shown up top.įor this project you will need the following software and the basic knowledge on how to get around in them: To facilitate the process we have even furnish the texture maps for use with this project. The tutorial will focus instead on how to build the different elements of a stage and how to get it textured and processed for use in MMD. Our tutorial will assume that the reader does have at least the basic knowledge of how to get around in this application. However, we do want to state clearly that this is not going to be a ‘how to use Blender’ tutorial. This article will show you how to build a stage model using Blender, and we’ve chosen to use Blender for this project as the software does open up huge possibilities for anyone who seriously wants to get into all types of model building for MMD, but who does not want to get into the huge expense of investing in a professional application such as Maya. ![]() That said, it is a serious professional grade application with a steep learning curve, but is still easy enough for an absolute beginner to use. Just to be clear, the software is free and is absolutely superb. Furthermore, we will be using an excellent open-source 3D modeling program to build this stage. What we are going to do in this article is to teach you the basics on how to build a stage for MMD that will look something like the one shown in the illustration at the top of this article. Then again, since cost is never really a factor in MMD, there are some stages that were made for MMD that would cost millions to build in real life for live performers.īut let’s put those grand plans aside for the moment and start simple. Stages don’t have to be very elaborate and some of the most popular stages, such as the original LearnMMD stage, are very simple in structure. Some decorations to set the scene, the mood or theme.A surface for the performer to dance or sing on.The very basic components of a stage are: If you really think about stages, be they in the real world or MMD, in essence they are very simple.
