How mainstream!

>my favorite artist, Lady Gaga.

>>8308447
I liked it.

>>8308577
Glad to hear it. While it was a test video of sorts, feedback is appreciated if you have any. Especially on the camera, since that was the point of making the video(although I let myself get out of hand). I wanted to test if/how people reacted differently to no perspective.

>>8308447
Forget the breasts, those hips and ass are amazing!

I forgot about another one I made, but it's just a Kocchi Muite Baby(pure dance, no effects/etc) video. I imagine everyone reading here has seen one of them, and if you've seen one you've seen them all, but here if anyone's interested.

Pic related.

>>8308859
I've always been of the impression that the ass is actually the weirdest part of her body. Sometimes it's incredible, others it seems odd. I kind of go from one body type to the other day to day, or did back when I could fap without fear. I must have around 10 different body types for her.

>>8308447
>>8308948
What are the mods you use to get that body?
I used TDCG a bit some years ago but never got into the modding of it because I found the default body entirely unappealing.

>>8311552
The body is a texture edit of the N993 body. I think it was only up for a short time on the tim uploader; either way, any high poly body mod should be nearly the same. But, the lower jaw and mouth are from MMD's Lat Miku model.

However, the best body is by far the NJXA, but there aren't many clothing options for it. I'd like to use it, but I don't because of that and the fact that I'd have to design new proportions.

I sometimes convert stages from Illusion games or TDCG for use in MMD. Because I'm converting them anyways, I'll offer to post them here if anyone would be appreciative of it.

As anyone who's actually tried it has probably noticed, it's often not really just a simple matter of converting. Objects which use shade blending(I don't know the English term for it) are not displayed correctly in MMD, resulting in scenes like the left one where there are black spots or some objects have white outlines.

Left is how it looks after conversion, right is the proper, corrected look.

In any case, if anyone wants them when I convert+fix them I'll post them here, but if you don't think you'd ever use them please ignore this.

>>8314514
>Left is how it looks before correction
Fixed for clarity, sorry

>>8314514

It would be awesome to see those stages you have converted :) At least I'm interested ^^

What?

>>8318126
I think it's a spambot post.

>>8314514
Oh, I thought you were supposed to use two instances with one in additive mode

Better Nate than Lever.

mod0832: 3 different pikes/straight-bladed spears
mod0833: 3 different medieval helmets
mod0835: Kawasaki Z2 motorcycle, red, has a few turn positions; loads from eyepatch slot

...and I'll have to do this again tomorrow...

XPC03552: NJXAv2 body with more skintones/tanlines; replaces XPC03469
XPC03553: Background: Dungeon/torture chamber with cells, chains, stocks, pillories, tables, horses; come with pose files for each location
XPC03555: Extra front and back hairs; messy bangs and ponytails
XPC03556: Another complicated gravure motion; comes with pose files; looks similar to XPC03536
XPC03557: names.txt for base_xp ver 0.0.6
XPC03558: Heavy save of two bamboo mats; requires model to be kneeling on first mat so that second mat is wrapped around shoulders
XPC03559: Claims to be "Mikue Hatzombie"; file is password protected
XPC03560: Cosplay set for doujin game "Lethal Crisis"; comes with soft saves
XPC03561: X-wing fighter from XPC03550; several customization options; has heavy saves of backgrounds and Bespin Cloud City

>>8320151
That's part of the solution, but since that requires manually splitting the model(and editing the model if certain additive textures don't display properly) I figured most people would rather just download one that's ready for use than go to the trouble of doing it themselves.

>>8321723
Heh, you don't "have" to, but it is greatly appreciated.

>>8319056
>>8318126
He was probably reacting to the emoticons(emoticons generally mean 95% chance of troll on /jp/) and the fact that little interest has been shown in using MMD in the past. I've actually written a lot sometimes and never had people respond, so I'm a little wary myself.

Discussion of Oblivion is welcome as well, as it can be considered an extended use of MMD.

>>8322346
Then make this thread a modding general for those who don't want to go to /3/.

Since the last thread went down so early, I'll post this again.

In case anyone else is interested in the dance portion of MMD, there was an event(Dance Motion Climax 3) held for dance motions recently in which a lot(15+) of motions were released.

You can find the motions using this tag(all videos will contain a motion link):
http://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/mmd-dmc3+mmdモーション配布アリ

If you can't figure out a password feel free to ask. I'd say Galaxias! is the best of the bunch.

>>8322566
He's just being facetious, although that is pretty cool assuming the models are being converted to MMD(and not .vmd>Oblivion).

>>8322742
Also, in case anyone wants to try it but doesn't know how to get the music into MMD, briefly:

1. http://nicosound.anyap.info/ to rip audio from a video
2. Use some kind of sound editing program to convert mp3 to wav(Wavepad Sound Editor's free/trial version works)
3. D&D the wav file into MMD(or put it into the folder inside of File>Load wav and load from there)

It generally takes about 30 seconds or less, but sometimes you might have to wait in queue to rip sound.

Here's hopes that Anon is faring well on New Year's.

>>8322742
What's wrong with VMD? It seems to work well enough.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15938910

>>8308447
Wait...How is that poker face? The japanese version?

Or do you mean the dance? I've never seen the video.

The only thing I've seen of Lady Gaga was times square tonight when she wore the entire new years ball on her head.

>>8327625
There's nothing "wrong" with it. That would be interesting in itself, but I was talking about which I would like more.

Thanks also to the XPC/mod update guy. You've saved me a lot of bandwidth.

I asked in the last thread if anyone can tell me how to use girl2man, but didn't see any answers before the thread went down. I assume that it wants a hardsave png, but what is the other field for?

>>8328758
it's for using a tmo file to set proportions and an expression

Made another video for anyone interested. This time it's for Natsu no Sari shi Kimi wo Omofu(At Summer's Passing I Think of You). I actually kind of regret using this one because I don't really think the motion is that good. It's great at the complicated parts but many of the simple/slow motions are just robotic. The first part where she does the step was just total chaos as well, so I more or less had to reanimate that just for it to be watchable. Not that I'm complaining about a free motion, I just should have chose another one if I was going to put work into a video.

There's Vocaloid but her proportions are more modest this time.


For some reason I've felt relatively good this week for the first time in awhile. I don't know why, but I'm glad I've been able to feel up to working with MMD again.

>>>/3/241153
breast physics research thread on /3/. MMD isn't really /3/ related of course, but i figure there might be people here who would interested in or able to contribute to that kind of discussion.

I've seen this thread over and over again and finally, I am now curious on who are the girls in OP's post.
Can someone enlighten me?

tcgdsav too, if possible ;_;
Thank you.

Hi there, nice thread OP.

Taking a break from 3DCM and 3DAIdroid...

I still have 3DCG on my notebook with about ~3000 mods saved in a different folder, but i cannot find the motorbike. Can you please tell me what mod it is from or where i can get it?

>>8329420
Thanks, that makes sense. How do I acquire or generate one of these?

Also, here is a heavy save for the hell of it.

>>8336171
They're his own characters, I don't remember them having names. He edits the models a lot for use in MMD so they are no longer 3DCG compatible, but he's released some of the models, look for previous threads and through his youtube channel.

I'm gonna start posting some older works of mdd lewdness when I bump, they won't look as polished as the ones I've posted recently.

>>8336171
All the girls are variations on OP's own creation. He's never named her, so I just refer to her as "Murasaki." Attached is one of the few saves he's posted.

>>8336446
Two posts above you is a heavy save; also, mod0835; also, try searching the mod catalog for "motor" (that should catch both "motorcycle" and "motorbike").

Latest mod catalog:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4l1ooxps0g5u628

>>8336767
Fucking SWEET!

Thank you thank you thank you!

You saved me a shit ton of searching.

You=Awesome

>>8333165
Thanks for the link. They're mostly talking about things I haven't gotten into yet as I'm pretty third rate, but it's interesting to read. I'll probably start browsing /3/ soon as I'm trying to learn more about modelling. At the very least, I'm a little tired of having a high poly body with low poly clothes(especially the leggings).

>>8336446
If you mean the motorbike in the save posted above your post, I'm not sure if it comes from a mod. It was posted as a hard save on the tim uploader.

If you'd like it as a mod, I'd suggest ripping it from the hard save.

>>8336584
I can't say I've ever used Girl2Man, but I would suspect one of two ways:

1. Try using PngPose to create a tmo file from a pose file altered to have proportions with TMOProportion and an expression
2. Try using TMOProp? I believe you have to start it from the command prompt, and then enter
TMOProp.exe your.tmo
which should produce a proportions tmo file using the settings described in the TPOConfig file(which you set with TMOProportion).

2 seems a little more likely but I've never tested.

If there's a readme for girl2man I can't find
it, and I don't want to go hunting for the original download right now(where did you get it from?).

>>8336710
>>8336685
I like that back hair, but it's a shame it doesn't work too well with tso2pmd's physics settings.

Are there any mods for the Hoth Trooper clothing, or similar? Saw there was some Star Wars content, so I figured I'd ask.

>>8338819
Thanks. It looks like I might need to use tmocomposer to convert a pose file into a tmo first... I'll have a go at this and if it works, i'll tell how!

>>8343263
Hmm, I suspect TMOComposer is for animation and PNGPose/TMOProp are more along the lines of body information, but good luck.

Oh yeah - girl2man is in MODS08275, located on the uploader here: ttp://3dcustom.ath.cx/uploader/mod/all.html?1284639946

I have had a try with various things and it looks like once you give girl2man a tmo and png, it spits out a tso file. What do I do with this, though? I understand that this file needs to be packaged into a tah, but the wiki is not very helpful on this.

>>8343335
I'm going to be sleeping very soon, but I haven't looked into how male mods work. You should just be able to pack it into a tah file and stick it in arcs as long as the name is man.tso, but I'm not sure, so I'll look it up when I get up tomorrow.

Thanks. I just managed to coax a tah from it but it did nothing... I probably had it names 'test' instead of 'man'. I'll try again tomorrow as well.

Anyone know what mods were made to make this Okuu or know of a hardsave? I've got most of the older Okuu hardsaves but nothing that looks exactly like this.

Also, have there been any new lingerie mods within the past 5 months or so?

>>8344335
>exactly
The tags say MMD and I'm sure he used photoshop or something.

>>8344335
as the other guy said it may well be an mmd model.

this is the newest okuu material i know of.

Many details hint at a 3DCG base.

> Also, have there been any new lingerie mods within the past 5 months or so?

I'm not sure whether it's been done in the last 5 months, but there's a very well done set (bra, panties (various states), stockings, separate garter belt, maybe gloves IIRC, many colors) for default and loli bodies. I dunno the archive name (I download everything) and no better pictures than this one (girl on the right) but that should at least help you figure out whether you have it or not. If not, you definitely want it.

>>8345218
i'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing or not, but there's a glossy set of lingerie that's fairly well done too.

>>8343372
Well, I've made some progress but am now stumped on something new. I got a working tah out of it, but all posing was completely screwed up. I guess this is because the program was expecting a certain 'neutral' pose, maybe? I'm not sure how to work out what this is or how to best set it up in pose mode, either.

I also found out that if you simply leave the tmo field empty, it still gives you a functioning tso anyway, with the default facial expression. The only catch here is that, at least on my install, it doesn't load - unless I use some modified base tahs set up for custom proportions (thinner waist). But, when I load it like this the posing is a bit screwed up again.

I tried doing everything from scratch again with vanilla base tahs, and still get the same results, which is really weird.

>>8343372
Well, I've made some progress... I've got a semi-working tah out of girl2man, but the posing/bones seem to be a bit screwed up ingame. I generated the tmo by getting tmocompose to make a 1-frame animation.
As far as I can tell using tdcgexplorer and tsoview, the model in the tah is fine, so the game itself must be modifying the skeleton weirdly or misinterpreting the data somehow. I've also compared this to a known working man mod and everything seems the same there too.

Here's a screenshot, note the distortion on the shoulders, arms and knees. Everything seems slightly off.

Actually, there might be something wrong with my tmo. Packing the manmod_dummy.tso that comes with girl2man (and is used in the processing somehow) into a tah works just fine.
I've also tried just leaving the tmo field blank, but this still gives the same problems.

>>8348886
so you don't bother searching, you are using the set I mentioned in >>8345218

>>8351596
Wait it was two different people asking. Oh well you'll certainly get what I meant anyway.

>>8353738
8348886 here. I was trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with the girl2man application.

For whoever it was asking about the lingerie, you want XPC02697, XPC02786, and XPC03054. You can get them off www.3dcustom.net. See, I'm helping! Not just asking technical questions about the more obscure 3rd party modding tools.

>>8356802
Everyone who knows is generally glad to help in these threads, unfortunately if we're all silent for too long it means that nobody has a clue.

I should probably have asked months ago, but is there an easy way of using PMDEditor or another tool to add back the inside faces tso2pmd helpfully removes? Ideally using the same material as the outside, or a solid color.
PMDEditor is just a mess of abbreviations I can't even begin to understand so please assume I'm dumb if you know.

>>8356802
I've been meaning to try to stuff out for you, but I've been a little busy lately with getting ready to distribute effects, a motion, and maybe finishing up a legitimate PV or two. It's a little difficult to get myself to go back and try various tools out because it's been a long time since I used TDCG for anything but putting models together(MMD for everything else).

>>8362804
It's not really removing faces(to my knowledge), it's just turning off double-side drawing. I'm not sure how TDCG flags two-side drawing, but apparently tso2pmd isn't designed to read and compensate.

For PMD models, to turn on double-sided drawing, set the alpha value of the mesh to 0.999.

For PMX models, just click the 両面描画 box.

>>8363013
Thanks, I'll try that soon

it's undoubtedly the njxa, but it would only look like that with MMD shaders and/or image post-processing.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16653688
MikuMikuMoving has had its first official release.

I'm going to watch the video and summarize its contents. It's a huge improvement from MMD. Doesn't seem to take it on the path to Blender(which has a bigger focus on the 3d design aspect) and seems to stick to animation, which I like.

https://sites.google.com/site/moggproject/mmm
It's downloadable here, but I suspect that MMD will still be better than it for awhile. I'm just glad that, with any luck, MMD's evolution will be back on track(things cooled down a lot after Higuchi quit), and that I can get rid of all these fucking .wav files eating up hard drive space.

This is gonna take a few posts. Hope nobody minds, it's pretty major and I will try to get Mogg to let me translate the user manual.

Some of the functions of MMM:
1. Reorganizable user interface; movable bars with buttons, windows, etc.

2. Multi-audio track
-By default there are 4 tracks. As you load more, the number increases.
-You can reposition audio tracks on the frame chart, by D&D or by right clicking and specifying a frame.

3. Multi-layered bones
-In MMD, you had to create multi-layered bones on the model side. There were many problems with this, including the fact that not everyone knew how to do it or how to use them. Now, it's done on the software side, and you can add multilayered bones to any model.
I can't begin to explain how wonderful this is. This is a basic feature that MMD had always been missing.
To do it, right-click a bone on the timeline, and select 多段モーション追加.

4. Visualization of morphs(?), added interpolation line to morphs
--Morphs are now displayed as shapes on the timeline. Morphs are now listed as long rectangular boxes. If the morph's height is at the top of the box, it's fully active. If you've ever used the MMD tool FaceAndLips, it's essentially that application built into the program.
--Whereas before, in order to see how much a morph was activated, you had to go to the frame and check the morph, now it's visible on the timeline because of this feature.
--In addition, you can control them without registering frames by clicking and dragging the points on the shape up and down. You can register them with a double click.
--Interpolation line for morphs. This is an absolutely godly addition. Now you can control not only how much the morph moves but how it progresses.

5. Physics can be disabled/enabled as keyframes
--By registering frames, you can disable/enable things such as physics and edge width. This can be done on a per-model basis.

6. Multiple light sources
--Currently, only 3 light sources are available. Only one is active by default; you can activate the others by clicking on the light and then clicking "Active" under "Properties".

4. Visualization of morphs(?), added interpolation line to morphs
--Morphs are now displayed as shapes on the timeline. Morphs are now listed as long rectangular boxes. If the morph's height is at the top of the box, it's fully active. If you've ever used the MMD tool FaceAndLips, it's essentially that application built into the program.

>>8383001
Oh, by the way, the image is to show how morphs work if it wasn't obvious. You can see his cursor has a point on a box highlighted; by dragging that point up and down you can control the morph.

7. Plugins
--Just what it says. Possibly the most major thing here but I don't have much to write. As examples of plugins, he provided "add random blinking" and "rotation to 0(don't know what this does)."
--He says the functionality of the plugin system is described online and hopes people make plugins, but I'm not sure where.

8. Automatic backup
-You can change the frequency at which it saves and number of files.

This isn't everything that's been added, either. This is a gigantic leap for MMD(-style programs), or it will be once MME is added and things are ironed out. You can view some more functionality, such as a multi-track camera, on the distribution site(It has an English version).

And it goes without saying that you can use TDCG models, in case anyone is wondering. It uses PMD and PMX format still, and can read VMD files.

Seems like I might have accidentally deleted the second post(after >>8382788), so here it is again. Sorry for taking up so much space, but this project is wonderful compared to its predecessor(MMD), and not much harder to use.

but can you control it with kinect?

I sent an e-mail to Mogg offering to translate it and the manual into English(well, the program is in English already). Hope he takes me up on the offer.

>>8384704
Not yet, but it's one of the planned features. Soon MMM will be able to do everything MMD does and much more. I would say that just the fact that you can make plugins alone puts it several levels above MMD, or will in the future.

I think its vertex limit is still set a little low, however, as my model does not appear to load properly.

One feature I really like that hasn't been mentioned is that you can move around accessories without a dummy bone.

OP's models and videos are really something incredible

Looks like I'll be translating MikuMikuMoving's manual into English. I thought for sure he was going to think I was a foreigner and just ignore me.

Wish me luck.

Also, probably more importantly:
For anyone looking to get into MMD, I recommend using tso2pmx, not tso2pmd or any version of tso2pmd I previously posted. This only applies to default-style body types(I.E. everything but NJXA and maybe a couple of others).

tso2pmx converts the models with superior weightings(BDEF4), which makes the model bend better at certain places. For example, the bending of the area between the ass and the legs is greatly improved as you can see in the picture(the leg is tilted at the same angle in both sides). This is actually really important for the ass if you like edges.

Alternatively, you can just use the NJXA body... it's weighted well with either. But mods are limited.

However, if you have enough experience with MMD/3D to be using multilayered bones, I'll warn that pmx models do not seem to work with the PMDEditor plugin called BoneDoubler, and possibly many others. This is actually a really big issue for me...

>>8391583
Thanks. I still have a long way to go, though, even just for MMD, but I don't want to list what I'm lacking here because I'd end up writing a book.

>>8393637
Godspeed.

>>8388146

thanks Man,
I really really was looking for this

Also, I should mention that I'm in direct contact with the developer of MMM, so if you have any requests for basic functionality(nothing explicitly sexual or just for you), I can try proposing things to him. No promises, though, as I don't want him to overwork himself and he probably has plenty on his plate as it is. [Missing] functionality that turned you away from or frustrated you about MMD are fine, but take a look at MMM's new features(here: https://sites.google.com/site/moggproject/mmm_eng)) first.

Feels like I'm attention whoring, but if people have(non-graphical) issues with the program that stops them from using it that I haven't thought, of I'd really like to know as I may be in the position to get it fixed.

Personally, I think it would be amazing if it could use Toonshader2/cgfxshader techniques from TDCG, but I'm not going to mention that as I have no idea what it entails(probably an overhaul...). At least not until he gets the program in working order.

>>8393637
do you think it's practical for me to use MDD if i don't know anything about modeling or am i going to have to like make it a hobby

>>8398248
Sort of depends on what you mean, or rather your goals.

It's fully possible to use MMD with no modelling knowledge whatsoever and get complete satisfaction, especially if your goal is just to watch cute girls dance or animate(animating is a skill but isn't going to require book reading if you have sense). MMD feels more like playing a game than "operating 3d software."

However, if you want to use a TDCG girl, you'll probably want to learn at least some modelling basics as they definitely need fixing up in MMD. But there are many beautiful models in MMD outside of TDCG, so if you don't mind using a standard model(this generally means no porn) then you need no modelling knowledge.

Even if you're looking to create PVs, you don't really need much besides artistic sense.
Hell, there are PVs far more successful than the most complicated of mine that require a fifth of the technology/knowledge to create.

tl;dr
Do you just want to watch girls dance or animate? Then no, you'd might as well be playing a game(there is skill involved). All you need to do is know the controls and have content to load.
Do you want to use a TDCG girl? Not needed per se, but you'll probably want to pick up some modelling basics as it won't look as good as TDCG otherwise.

>>8398442
well okay i'll try

is there a good database site for MMD models because they seem to be scattered all over the web

In any case, MMD only requires real knowledge if you're a nutcase/retard like myself who can't wait until 30 to become a wizard. Meaning, you want to bring your girl(s) to life and be the god of your 2/2.5d world.

Stuff like this where you're just using other people's stuff could be done by an animal, it's very easy once you learn the controls. And it goes without saying but much higher quality models than this exist.

>>8398490
Try the vpvp wiki, or the MikuMikuDance database(not the "MMD Database").

http://www6.atwiki.jp/vpvpwiki/pages/65.html
http://mmd.nomeu.org/

Some models can be tough to get but if you shop around enough you'll probably find one you like, and if you see one you like you can try posting a picture of it here and I'll try to help.

Also, if you're just looking for a makeshift catalog of models, the best strategy(if you can stomach it) is probably just to go to DeviantArt and type in "[Name of character] mmd" as shown in the picture. You'll probably get spammed with the best model available as I have in this picture.

>>8417079
Thanks for doing this. MMM sounds interesting. Any idea if it'd be a good fit for my specific misuse case of MMD?

>>8430611
Hmm, aside from the ability to use multiple sources of lighting and some additional control over shadows, probably not. Its improvements are mostly related to animation.

At the very least, if you make any use out of MME, it might be some time before it's usable. I can say I'll be waiting for MME to become fully functional before I switch.

When he finishes everything left to do, there won't be much of a point in using MMD since MMM(as it's planned) is more or less flat out better, but I'm speaking in terms of the present moment.

Where the heck is the mod for that butt-enhancement?

i wanted to download NJXA body mod since everyone talk about it but now i'm pretty lost because it been months i started 3DCG

>>8439116
ctrlF warosu, there is a link for the pasta somewhere in this thread.

>>8438533
It's TMOProportion. Not really a specific mod, just proportions customization. It's not particularly easy to reproduce, but if you want to try you'll need extra .cs files. You can find the necessary .cs files here:
http://fuuka.warosu.org/jp/thread/8294042#p8298246
The ones that control the ass primarily contain the phrases hiplength, hipwidth, and pelass.

>>8439244

How would these even be used for 3DCG? The TMOproportion program I remember had room for only like a dozen or so cs files at a time, because there was no side scroller.

>>8439276
Configure proportions using tso2pmd, and then use the TPOConfig file produced by tso2pmd with PNGProportion. So long as your proportions folder for tso2pmd and tmoproportion are the same it should work.

There are a few files that tso2pmd uses which cause TMO/PNGProportion to crash, though. I think they're the AAA files(except for maybe the hips one?) and some of the Chichi files(boin, wide, up). There may be one or two others, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten. Back when I last used it, I just tested which ones worked by process of elimination through a few batch deletes.

>>8439341
Being more specific, you need to replace the TPOConfig file output by tso2pmd with the one in the TMOProportion folder. Tso2pmd automatically outputs a TPOConfig file whenever it converts a character, so just configure a character using tso2pmd, convert, and then put the new TPOConfig file inside of the TMOProportion folder.

And it may have sounded like I contradicted myself there, but I meant that as long as the proportions specified by the TPOConfig file are in the TMOProportion folder, you'll get the same proportions. It's fine if the folder contents aren't exactly the same as tso2pmd's, so deleting the nonfunctional files is no issue.

>>8439341
>>8439386
These are cute.

>>8439412
Yeah, I like Misrua's MMD pictures. They're simple but clean, and the poses are always cute. And there are lots of really good TDCG people on Futaba.

One day, I'll learn how to use MMD and things like that, then create a VN.
But not today.

>>8439863
Heh, not to respond seriously, but I find myself thinking this too whenever I see it in the OC thread. One day, I'll have something worth posting, etc.

I've thought about that a lot while I sit here in this thread. There'd probably be a lot of hate regarding it due to "3D"/"shit graphics"/etc, but I've thought that /jp/ would probably do well to look into MMD in its VN projects. Getting an artist to draw stuff for free seems like a largely hopeless endeavor, and even if hand-drawn 2d art would be preferable, MMD can get the job done better than anything else with little knowledge and has the benefit of being easily animated.

I imagine that it would be something the Japanese have to do first before anyone considers it, though.

>>8440709
you mean this VN?
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15416352

Hopefully he does release something new soon.

>>8440792
Yes, something like that, although I'd use this as an example:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13112015
Well, being frank, Lente himself isn't that good at MMD, but he uses it along the lines I'm talking about. It'd be interesting to see him collaborate with certain people.

I can't really tell by your statement whether you know, but Lente has produced a lot of stuff, mostly in the same vein as that. Either way, yeah, I'd always like to see something new from him. You can probably expect something in this next MMD cup.

>>8438533
This guy knows what's up.

I don't plan on using the mod provided, I simply demand more pics of dat ass.

OP, could you share the proportions parameters that you use on your most curvy model? I'd like to compare it to mine. I was able to get TSO2PMD to modify the proportions then TAHproportions to convert the files but TMOproportions still crashed even after deleting the files you said would crashed it. Then again, I can't really imagine why it would matter as long as I can convert the files with the new TPOConfig anyway.

>>8444051
I just tried it, and deleting AAA_PMDInitPose.cs and Chichi_Up2.cs worked fine for TMOProportion, and it worked for PNGProportion as well.

Since I uploaded that pack I created a lot of new proportions files, so I would have to upload a new pack. I guess I can do that.

>>8446673
I'd tap that ass.

I have to be away from the computer for a few hours, but if they're still wanted, when I get back I'll go ahead and post up those proportions. They'll look a little different from OP models because I've made one or two adjustments in PMDE, but you can tune always just tune them to your liking.

>>8451098

Yes they are. Just post them whenever you can.

Ever noticed how all the shitty /3/ threads like this stay up while all the /jp/ threads get deleted?

Sorry for taking longer than I said I would. I ended up crashing to sleep before I knew it.

Either way, here they are:
http://www.mediafire.com/?p8b7cx43i88wpg3

TpoConfig...
OPvid.xml = obvious
Alt1 = Some proportions before I changed the upper body 3
njxa = experimental njxa proportions

Notes:
1. The waists are going to be really thin. I can't help myself with this.
2. There are problems with some clothes. Some skirts will clip through the ass by default, some panties are warped, etc. This is... fixable in TDCG, but the only solutions that look good are in MMD.
3. I've spared you uploading proportions with really big breasts, you damn lolicons(if that's what you are looking for I'll upload one or two).
4. There are a lot of proportions files. This means the program will take a really long time to start up. Be patient. Yes, many of them are unused, but I'm too lazy to go back and sort them.
5. Yes, the files have some of the stupidest naming conventions ever created. In the picture I've tried to show the most important groups.
6. Hair is scaled! Unscale it with TDCG.Proportion.cs_dee_kami_ALL_Back_L and TDCG.Proportion.cs_dee_kami_ALL_Back_W.

In the end, just take them as examples, I suppose. Even I do some correcting in PMDE for the OPvid proportions(personally I think the ass looks a little fat pre-conversion, so I do some scaling TMOProportion can't do with PMDE), so correct it however you feel like if you don't like something. That's the point of the program, after all.

They may look different on different bodies. I can tell you that at the very least, the OPvid proportions shouldn't work well at all on the NJXA.

I will never uninstall 3DCG, for fear of having to dig out and painstakingly install all the mods again.

>>8462789
I wish I could make high res pictures like that from videos. Unfortunately I stuff too much into them, which seems to cause my graphics card to crash at high resolutions.

Wonderful, now I have an upper respiratory problem/head cold as well. Excuse me while I go shoot something, probably myself.

For those who never noticed, this guy transferred the Tower of Sauron and Gareki City from MMD to TDCG. I think it's on the Futaba uploader.

>>8454876

Thank you for uploading them, they're really handy. How can I fix this though? The weights are all messed up and creating jaggies when rotating the hips. Is it a setting in TSO2PMD?

>>8467498
Read >>8393637
If that doesn't answer your question, post again.

tl;dr tso2pmx uses bdef4 for weighting, which seems to fix the problem for standard body mods. Alternatively, it seems the NJXA body works fine even with tso2pmd.

Note that bdef4 seems to have some abnormalities which are subtle and I haven't been able to pinpoint yet. Nothing that should be a problem for standard use, I hope.

>>8467132
Neat!

>>8467498
Oh, and an alternative I only implicitly mentioned is to turn off edges, if that's not an issue for you. Unless you bend the ass/legs at an odd angle it should be pretty hard to tell anything is wrong without edges(maybe if you're after an extreme closeup...).

But unless you are hooked on BoneDoubler or some other addon, I really don't see a reason not to use tso2pmx.

>>8467728

Just tried it out. Version 0.3.0 was the latest version I could find off 3DCustom.net. It literally looks exactly the same when I bend it, and I'm not even bending it that much. And yes I prefer to have edges on. Does yours not come out like that if you make a model with edges? Also, what about the settings? Do I just leave them as default?

>>8467498
Her butt looks like a yaranaika face.

>>8468136
As you should be able to see in the SS, it works alright for me. If I start bending it too far, two small edges start to appear, but that can be very easily fixed. The edges starting near the top of the ass in this shot are there because the top of the ass is at an angle where it's almost perpendicular to the waist, so that's normal.
Also, my version of tso2pmx is 032.

Post a hard save of the character(or just body mod) you're working with and I'll see if I can't get it to bend normally.

>>8468313

Its some njxa model I found off here in one of the threads, unedited. If it's not too much trouble I'd like to ask for your version of tso2pmx just to make sure we both have the same program and settings.

>>8468369
So far, it works fine fresh out of the box with tso2pmd. Those models are shown on the right. Tested with all proportions using tso2pmx, however, and I got the same results you did.

So, most likely, for some reason that body mod doesn't work well with tso2pmx's weighting method but works fine with tso2pmd's. If it's not problematic, I'd say you should use tso2pmd or try a different body mod.

I feel like absolute shit and I'm tired right now, but I'll investigate this a little further when I wake up.

Also, the version of tso2pmd I was using was 0.2.2, although I suspect any would work.

I had assumed you were using tso2pmd in >>8467498, was I wrong?

>>8468860
>models on the right are tso2pmd
I must be dyslexic or something. If my mistake wasn't obvious, I meant the two models on the left, the three on the right are tso2pmx.

This is probably my last post before I lay down. Good luck.

I looked into it a little bit, and I can say that the body you're using is not NJXA. It appears to be the G-cup body. Chances are, the reason it works with tso2pmd is the same reason it doesn't work well with tso2pmx. Although, the NJXA works fine with both.

However, like I said, it works well with tso2pmd, so using that should be fine. If your issue is that the limit on tso2pmd's polygon count is too low, if you want to use that body you'll have to just convert two files, and then merge them as a PMX. It's a simple process, although using tso2pmx with a different body mod would be easier.

nurrhurrhurr

>>8471497

But the screenshot I posted originally was after converting it using TSO2PMD. Then I had the exact same results with TSO2PMX.. There was no difference for me.

>>8471546
Okay, I'll try out a different version of tso2pmd.

As I showed in the SS in >>8468860, ver 0.2.2 of tso2pmd worked fine for me. I'll upload the latest version I can find that works for me.

Well, I tried it with tso2pmd 0.2.3rc1 as well, and it seems to work fine. I've uploaded the tso2pmd folder I was using and a converted model, see if they work fine for you.

Hey does anyone know where I can find a pack of yuri poses? I have some but... not enough...

>>8479016
The problem is that it depends on the character proportions. You will only find pose hardsaves, and if you try to replace the characters, everything will be misaligned.

>>8479738
It's fine, I'll fix the minor details. It's the complicated stuff I can't make myself.

>>8471497

Thank you again. Your version of TSO2PMD was what made the difference it seems. I also discovered that the program does not like it when I try to use a TPOconfig file from a different version TSO2PMD. Also I guess I do not have the NJXA body mod you speak of then. Could you post a hardsave of one?

>>8480135
I still don't use the NJXA body myself, but here's an example. I don't have any mods for large-breasted NJXA girls, so if you want one you're best off getting the mods yourself. Just ctrl+F njxa on the XPC uploader. I gave her a string bikini that doesn't fit to make sure I don't get hit for NSFW content, you can take it off if you convert it.

But, if you liked the body you were trying to work with, I'd just use that. It's high poly too and seems to work about as well. The NJXA also has very few mods, and even less for the large-breasted version.

Also, after observing some things last night, I have my doubts about tso2pmx/BDEF4. It seems to cause some strange behavior, so I'd say to use tso2pmd if you can.

>>8476934
The face and nose on that one looks fantastic (as is the whole composition, 'course). Is the body from a mod, or was it hand made to look like that?

>>8481633
not the guy who posted that and i should probably wait for him to respond, but i'm going to venture a guess that it's a cusjiru body mod.

>>8481770

>>8481770
Just tried it. Seems to be it, yeah. Also happens to be the only body mod I didn't have. Figures.

Many thanks, friend.

well, this is certainly unique and surprising... forehead seems a little titanic.

/jp/ became too shitty for the guy who maintained them.

>>8493995
Yeah, I always wondered what happened to those too(well, not enough to look it up on the archives...). They sure as hell got a lot more activity than these. I suppose it's a shame if he really did quit, but I can't blame him.

I don't go out of these threads often, but when I do I notice there's a lot less anal behavior than there used to be. It seems like for better or worse the community really is changing/has changed.

My latest attempt at a model. Still have a lot of things left to fix and improve...

I've always wanted to make her a sailor uniform with a draping shirt, but it's very difficult for various reasons. I was glad with how the sphere map for the skirt came out. It looks kind of like leather, so I'll probably tone it down, but that's a new/good thing in and of itself. If anyone's interested, I'll distribute it. Wait, what? No one's interested?

I don't want to turn this into a blog post so I'll leave things at that, and mention that I'm glad I chose a skintight outfit back when I didn't know anything. If anyone is ever interested in getting into this, skintight outfits are a good idea. I recommend against getting attached to pleated skirts because they're hard to add physics to. Unless you like edges off; almost every aspect of TDCG>MMD modelling becomes ten times easier with edges off.

I've been forgetting to mention that I finished translating MMM's manual awhile ago, too.

https://sites.google.com/site/mikumikumovingeng/home

Feel free to rip into my English/translation. I haven't gotten around to editing it yet so I'm sure there are still typos/poorly worded sentences around. I kept the structure, organization, and explanations the same as Mogg had them, though, so that's on him.

I translated the thing in around 2 days, but it took until now for me to finally get around to finishing replacing the images. What a pain in the ass.

Just to be clear though I'm only posting this in case anyone is curious. I don't recommend MMM over MMD just yet, Mogg still has some work to do on the program.

>>8497347
Very interested.

>>8497405
Hmm, alright then:
http://www.mediafire.com/?oyxtgxwe66d3of8
It's an additive map.

I also really recommend downloading m_GUMI from
http://ux.getuploader.com/3xma/
if you're interested in sphere maps. All of the sphere maps on that model are very good(in fact this one is based off of one), and A3G is especially good for stockings and other things which have a shine to them.

As another note I use the sp_h sphere from the Lat model for my model's skin. It gives a light glow around the edges of the skin, kind of like light might. I imagine this one would really be preference, though.

For anyone curious about what sphere mapping is, I'll try to explain in layman's terms:

It's a texture-based method of controlling what is reflected by an object when light hits it based on angle.

Picture a spherical object. Since the object's a sphere, technically, every point on the object is facing you a different angle. A texture designated as a sphere map is displayed across these different angles(as opposed to being painted onto the model at specific locations with UV mapping).

If you can find a spherical plastic/metal object around you, look at it. You should notice that surfaces parallel to you look dimmer and surfaces perpendicular to you look very bright(are shining). Sphere mapping controls this effect with a texture, so using sphere mapping you could make it have the opposite effect, or even display a pattern/color only when the surface is parallel to you. It's pretty interesting, and obviously very important; in order to create accurate representations of objects which have this effect(not all objects do; for example, leather does but skin does not), sphere mapping is absolutely essential.

Or, that's the basic feel of the concept. I'm sure I've butchered it. I know nobody asked, but I don't really have anything to do with my time right now.

>>8497347
Is this for 3dcg or those other model software?

Can you post the hardsave?

>>8497807
It's for MMD, so no, not like that. She looks like this in TDCG.

i can fap to this

Oh god sphere mapping how you confuse and anger me so. I can't count how many times I've tried to add a sphere map from a different model to a mesh only to see it do absolutely nothing.

>>8498495
Given what I've described, I would say that that should never happen with a "proper" sphere map. I think a lot of sphere maps from TDCG actually do absolutely nothing at all.

In fact, I just opened one up and it was just a white pixel. Essentially, all that will do is recolor the model, or do nothing at all, since it applies the same color to every angle.

But if you have an example of a sphere map that definitely had a desirable effect on one mesh but did absolutely nothing on another, I'd like to see it. There are definitely plenty of things I still don't know.

>>8498526
Oh, and there are some cases where the effect of sphere maps will be nearly unnoticeable, like when you're trying to apply a white additive sphere map to a white model. For example, if you apply the sphere map in >>8497506 to a white model, it's going to be hard to tell the difference since all it actually does is add varying amounts of white to the model.

>>8498526

The very first model with sphere mapping that I've ever seen was Pirons Luka, if you have that. I try to use those maps all the time but they usually never work on any of my 3DCG models. If you don't have it I'll upload it.

>>8498551
Do you mean the sphere maps in Piron Luka v15? If so, I went ahead and tried h.spa out and it worked fine(left has the sphere map, right is no sphere map). It's subtle, but you can tell there's a soft rimlight.

k.spa was also even more subtle, but g.spa was very easy to see(almost like my own). Not sure what you would have had trouble with. I'd say just try again if you still want to do it.

>>8498837

It will work on some meshes, just not most that I've tried. Try using it on a body mesh from 3DCG. I don't think you'll see a difference.

Is it just me, or has captcha gotten stricter recently? Seems like it no longer accepts it if you try to completely fake the shorter word.

>>8498848
Nope, they all work fine.
That's(picture)
1. No sphere 2. k.spa
3. h.spa 4. G.spa

Tried it on her hair too with the same results. The only thing I can think of that could cause a sphere map to have no effect is if you had it deactivated, but that only became available with PMX models.

>>8498879

I'm an idiot. I've been giving it the wrong extension the whole time, naming it sph instead of spa. That's why it never worked. Not sure why I just realized this now and never before.

>>8498882
Yeah, that would do it. I kind of ruled that out since you said you were using Piron's spheres and I generally copy-paste file names.

where's the girl in OP's pic with the big titties?

>>8499035
A TDCG character.

In fact I think all that stuff's default. I haven't played with it in a while.

>>8498956

While we are basically talking about PMDeditor I may as well ask.. If I want to merge two separate models that I create from TSO2PMD (such as the hair as one pmd, and the body as another pmd), do I need to do anything to them before merging? I seem to vaguely remember that deleting the physics on one of them is necessary. Is there anything else?

>>8499035
Currently on my bed

>>8499131
No, she actually doesn't use any default mods.

>>8499472
No, not really, but you should make sure that the bones line up, although that's probably obvious. For example, if one model is slightly taller than the other, that means its bones are in different locations and its movement will be slightly skewed after merging. That's probably not a concern though, just make sure the important proportions are the same for both models(i.e. if you're using hair, height and hair length proportions are important, but breast proportions aren't) when converting.

The process for preparing a model for merging goes as follows:
1. Load model to be merged by drag+drop(not the base)
2. Go to Joints tab
3. Delete all unwanted joints; this is easy with PMX since you can just ctrl+drag to select. For example, for a hair model, just delete everything but the hair joints.
4. Repeat this process for rigid bodies; remember that regardless of how you convert, all models come with body(orange) rigid bodies
5. Load the merger target model in a different PMDE window
6. Using the same methods as above, delete all overlapping joints and then rigid bodies.
7. Merge by D&D
7optional. Go to Edit>Morph>Merge morphs to make sure there aren't duplicate morphs. Morph accumulation can actually be a crash-causing problem if you merge a lot of models.

>>8500322
>doesn't use any default items
OCD fix

Also,
>>8499472
tl;dr
I made it look long, but it's really simple so long as you know what's what.

In fact, if you're merging something without physics, you can simply click Joints+Rigid Bodies on PMDView, ctrl+A, and hit delete. It's only if you're dealing with merging models with separate physics that you have to go in and delete stuff individually.

And I stated it earlier, but it's much, much easier to delete things in PMX mode than in PMD mode. PMD mode can't drag select, so if you have to delete things individually, you can't delete in groups, which is tedious. Anyways, good luck.

I cant access the mod link,proxy never work.
Can you upload 2762.zip to some file hosting?

Well, if any of you have ever thought about getting into MMD, it's now or never. About two months from now, tons of content is going to be erased from the loda.jp uploader, MMD's premier uploader, because it is closing down due to the copyright infringement ordeal going on.

This content is probably never going to be reuploaded anywhere, and even if it is, would probably be very difficult to find. We're talking about the majority(50%+) of content ever created for MMD here. That includes models, stages, motions, and effects.

This is posted in another thread but that will probably die soon and I want to make sure people who read this thread are aware.

Note that this body mod is the actual Elin body from TERA(to my knowledge), and so it's probably not going to work with many(or any) mods.

>>8505016
Thanks for your kind

Is the current mod catalog v.29 or has there been more?

You've got some really really nice stuff OP

>>8498043
Its fine, post it anyway

>>8505788
it's not current. as a rule, i update every 1-2 threads, depending on thread length. i will be updating it again next thread.

Curious: what do you guys do with this?
Do you make videos? Do you just enjoy making characters? Or do you just fap?

I'm kind of interested in this whole 3DCG thing. Is there a guide anywhere to get me started? A list of recommended mods, or anything like that?

>>8506253
http://3dcg.info.tm/wiki/Main_Page
Here's the main wiki, just to get started.

Unfortunately, ever since HongFire went down, I haven't had access to the torrent to download it, but I'm sure someone can provide.

After you install it, it's all really easy to work with. You'll have a folder named "arc" which is where you'll dump all of your mods to customize your girl with.

You can easily find mod packs to just get a bunch of everything to mod with, but if you want something specific like a hat or a shirt from your favorite character, you can use this to search them up:
http://3dcustom.ath.cx/rails/
Except it's all in Japanese, so you can use this for some common terms:
http://3dcg.info.tm/wiki/3DCGMRS_Tags

That site will tell you what each mod file contains (they're all named TAH0003 and other such nonsense things), but it won't give you a download link. To get the actual mod, you can use something like this:
http://3dcg.info.tm/wiki/DDL_Links_to_Mods
Which has a pretty good compilation of mods arranged by their filename prefix.

After you get a mod you want, just unpack it from its rar and put it in that "arc" folder I mentioned up there.

Then, there are things like >>8318126, which are hard saves. These image files are actually save files in .png form. To use them, find a folder in your "My Documents" that has something to do with 3D Custom Girl, and you'll find a bunch of similar files with green backgrounds. Just name the file
[filename].tdcgsav.png
And it should be added to your list of saved girls in-game, even if you don't have the clothes.

It's pretty straight-forward.
>Find mod you want
>Put it in arcs folder
>Repeat

>>8506225
All of the above, and I just like animation and a feeling of god-mode in real time. More than anything else, if you like watching cute girls/your "waifu" it has no equal.

That, and there is the feeling of being able to animate your girl and have her do whatever you want. It's the next best thing to having brought her to life. If you can create scenes and animate, there's a feeling of connection to the character that I don't think anything else can give you. Even if I was able to draw a perfect picture of her it would never wave to me(Not that I don't love still pictures).

I haven't played 3DCG in a few months.

I really need to apologize for asking this, but I really want to know: have there been any good recent furry hardsaves or single mods?

I have a bunch of stuff like Gardevoir, Lopunny, that one dragon-like girl, that wolf with the terrible mouth, and a bunch of tails and stuff, but is there anything new and fresh? Especially Pokemon stuff?

Again, I'm really kind of ashamed to ask this, and I'm really sorry, but I really need to know.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem to be something for 3D Custom Girl. Is it any good, though? I'd consider looking into MMD if it had something worth it. Thank you anyways, though.

>>8508049
What exactly are you asking?

Does anyone else know if there's any Kemono/Furry stuff for 3D Custom Girl? I'm sorry for asking, but I need it.

I had found this image file after searching for a few hours last night, but the person who had it posted accidentally uploaded it as a JPG. Does anyone have it as a PNG?

>>8506313

>>8510443
>I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem to be something for 3D Custom Girl. Is it any good, though? I'd consider looking into MMD if it had something worth it. Thank you anyways, though.

I may have posted the wrong link earlier, I'm trying to find the right one now. Here, have a kitten in the mean time.

>>8510682
Oh, thank you.

I will enjoy this kitten while I eagerly await.

About half a year ago someone was posting pictures of a body mod in one of these threads that was black and white with heavy outlines for tracing purposes, but never posted a link (or a name) for it.

Does anyone know the name of the mod? Or another one like it? I imagine it could help me greatly in my various projects. I remember trying to search via the usual links but didn't get any relevant results.

If I can get a filename I could probably find a download link myself.

>>8510443
Sorry, I have no interest in furry so I can't really help you there.

Also, if you know what you're doing TDCG+MMD is just flat out better, but it really has almost no furry content that I know of save those TDCG models.

Not sure if I've ever seen that hard save but I'll check.

>>8510721
You mean this? I don't know if it was ever released as a mod. You can always just use the hardsave or rip it with TDCGExplorer.

MMD has shaders which produce this effect and can be used for any model, though, so if you're really interested in using with this sort of thing I highly suggest looking into it. Some of them are very simple to use.

>>8510741

Thanks. That looks like the one I saw.

>MMD has shaders which produce this effect and can be used for any model, though

Sounds even better, I'll check that out later. Thanks.

>>8498043
>>8500322
upload the hard saves for these

Are there any commonly used or recommended mods I should definitely get?

Also I'd like to get stuff like the OP's pics.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

FYI I've successfully used furshader with MMD for sweaters (it's in the shaders starter pack the OP provided in previous threads, search TDCG in the archives). Requires some tinkering but results are good. To save you some trouble, two things to know:
1. You need to edit the variables at the top, especially color. Saving the file immediately shows up the changes in the mmd window.
2. You need to specify which parts have fur in the shader, it's not enough to select the parts in mme. The line in question is
string subSet="0,1";
towards the bottom of the file

>>8511212
It really depends on your preferences.

At the very least I recommend checking out Hissa, Panosuke, and SodaPro's mods. Beyond that, there are really a great deal of mods.

Panosuke's site is here: ttp://panosuke.fc2-rentalserver.com/mod/
You should be able to find the rest on the wiki(>>8506294).

For hair, I recommend anything on the XPC uploader with 髪いくつか in the description(ctrl+F).

Unfortunately, it's difficult to say much else without knowing your preferences. For example, if you like small breasts, I would say that I highly recommend anything with "NJXA" in its description, but that's not so good for large breasts.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last statement, but the OP's stuff is MMD combined with TDCG.

>>8511336
This Okuu is... this Okuu is...! Quite flat!

Looks like this still isn't the one people were looking for, though.

>>8512252
I'm glad to see at least someone is using MME.

This body is very furry, i stumbled upon it, and while not my tatse maybe you will like it.

btw anyone have a 3dcg cloth modding for dummies manual somewhere? I have considered trying it, but i know not where to begin, but i can use basic blender features.

>>8512827
Sorry, I don't know of any sort of quick modding manual, but if you have questions about the system I can probably help you. There is also a "file system" section on our wiki.

Basically, all you should have to do to be able to mod is be able to convert from tso>mqo(using tso2mqo), import the mqo into Blender, and then reverse the process after modding.

Alternatively, there are some knowledgeable people on Hongfire too if you can stomach the board.

susuki makes unique motions, and they're really high quality too.

If you haven't in the recent months, I recommend checking out Cusjiru's blog again. He's made a few things since I last checked and they're all as good as usual.

Can someone put up all the pretty cure mods?
Since all (well most of them) of them have been deleted off of 3Dcustom.net.

>>8518983
That kind of reminds me that we've got no way of knowing if some people are going to go and delete things out of fear of new laws/current events. Now might be a good time to download as many mods as possible, although chances are someone on Hongfire would upload a torrent anyways. Not to be alarmist, but with loda going down who knows what's going to happen.

If you can give me the name+number(EX: XPC0582) of mods you want that aren't available, I will upload them if I have them.

>>8519094
Whenever I can I still try to seed the old 41.2GB "3Dcustom girl mods [100810]" torrent found on deadfrog. Really hoping someone would update it with all the newer files added since then.

>>8519287
Yeah, you're right, a lot of them are deleted. It's a shame, some of them arewere really well done. Hope the Sweet Pretty Cure guy didn't delete his, those were especially good.

>>8519411
Okay nevermind that i got it all patched up and toonshader2 etc. everything is displaying properly now except one problem, there is censor on my girls now. I don't know how to get rid of this

>>8454876
After moving your files in to my TSOView folder and double clicking tahproportion.exe it always crashes.

>>8519550
did you read >>8444308? that's the only reason i could think of if it only crashes when you put the proportions in.

>>8519473
i think there is an uncensor patch. however, if it's a mod you installed that's causing the censoring, you'll just have to take out mods until you find which one it was.

>>8519564
I tried that and tahproportion.exe still wouldn't run. Do i need all those files in my proportion folder or can I just use the .XML to make the new .tah files for my game?

>>8519622
Actually there is a command prompt open but it's just black. Does it take a long time for tahproportion.exe to open with your files? I can't really tell if it's doing anything or not.

>>8519622
>>8519653
Yes, as I warned, those applications take a very long time to process/load if you have that many proportions files.

If you continue having problems, it seemed like the other guy had some success with it, so maybe he can help you. The last time I used tahproportion was early last year; I don't really have any need for it.

This might not be quite the right place to ask, but how do 3D custom maid and custom aidroid compare to 3DCG in terms of dress-up/posing/sex? Much the same or different?

>>8519691
Okay everything seems to be working now, but I still have one problem. The tutorial I'm following for tahproportion.exe says to convert base.tah and base_xp.tah but my arcs folder doesn't contain base_xp.tah. Should i convert base_xpr5.tah or anything like that? Or will this work with just base.tah converted.

>>8519721
Depends on whether you use MMD or not. If you do and you know what you're doing, it blows everything else out of the water in terms of dress-up and posing but not really sex scenes. Simple model edits can be used to make even bad TDCG mods look pretty damn good.

3DCM and Aidroid probably have higher average mod quality, and they have several graphical effects TDCG does not(but MMD does). I know nothing about Aidroid, but I know that 3DCM has no posing feature. I suspect they are both much better for sex scenes.

If you're in it for the long run and have some dedication, and are more concerned about character creation and posing than sex scenes, go with TDCG. If you want a few free faps, or you really value sex scenes, I'd go with something else.

tl;dr You can think of this as a character/scene creation and posing game, and the other games as h-games with customization. 3DCM does not have a posing mode, I don't know about Aidroid. On the other hand, TDCG has no game element.

Hope that helps.

>>8519736
If your folder doesn't have base_xp.tah, it sounds to me like you probably don't have one of the expansions installed. Not sure what to do in that case, just using base.tah may work.

>>8519742
Is there a community for aidroid like there is for 3d custom girl? I mean with mod sites and such?

>>8519844
Sorry, I really know absolutely nothing about that game. I did have a quick look and there is nothing that I can find. The Japanese side looks desolate on Hongfire's mod release page is 2 pages long, with no actual "mods" for the game.

I did take a look at their Aidroid scratchpad wiki, though, and had a good laugh at this:

>Q: The game restarts my computer whenever I try to run it. Help!?
>A: There is region locking in this game. If it fails, it restarts the computer. Short answer: Use HF pApploc or set your Windows to Japanese.

What a fucking asshole game company. That should be illegal.

>>8519920

Well the back curly like hair.Since I can't seem to find it.

Thread's been on autosage for a little bit now. I'll probably remake tomorrow or the day after with an updated catalog.

I'm having a problem with TSO2PMD. My models hair becomes very dark/black with no shading. No idea why or what I have to do to fix it.

>>8488243
This is what happens to the stages from there.

Ever single one of them does this when I put them in tso2pmd.
I didn't mess with any of the settings,and when I did it messed up even more.
So is there any possibility if some one can covert it with out having this glitch?
Since i'm trying to do a mmd video with the pole dancing stage,and the other stages.

this is going to take a little longer than i thought.

i don't know why, but the model just appears to be messed up in anything but TDCG itself. i'll correct it using PMDEditor and post it.

next time please post a screenshot of your problem beforehand when you have one, though.
