Hey guys! I wanted to write this up to tell you guys how I get all my SUPER detailed references for a lot of the things I make. I almost always use this ESPECIALLY with video game characters! First off....what is MMD?
MMD = Miku Miku Dance. Its original purpose is to take 3D models and import motion data into the program to make them...well dance! There is a HUGE community for MMD and I used to make models for it back in the day. But, here I will be showing you how I use it to get cosplay references!
Where to download MMD (It is free)!! You can download it here!
Just click on one of the images that say "Download MMD" whether it is for a normal 34-bit PC or 64-bit! Since you are just using this to view the models you do not need anything else fancy.
Now, where do you get the models? I get all mine from DeviantArt. Just simply search in "________ MMD" and you will most likely find something! A lot of people in the MMD community rig game models and upload them for free! For this one I was looking for an Ada Wong reference for a friend of mine!
Here is where I found the Ada model!
Now all you need to do is click the "download" button the side (sometimes the download option will be in the description). Go ahead and download the .rar file and unpack it to your PC! Once it is there open the folder with your models rile, you will see a file that is titled "____.pmx" or "____.pmd" that is your model file! Go ahead and drag that file into MMD, it will import the model into the program and TA DAH! You have just put your model into the program! Here you can take pictures, zoom in, move the model to get better looks at it, etc!
There are thousands of tutorials on MMD, I suggest looking at this one to get a decent understanding of the very basics of the program!
Main thing you will be doing is just taking pictures of you model! I use this program when I style wigs all the time to get them as close as possible for game characters and I also use this to get the ingame textures of models! I hope this little tutorial helps you in anyway!
