Quick question for 2023 before you stop reading:Is it bad that I write such long texts?
About the video
A big-ish compilation
of all-ish animation doodles
I made in 2022-ish. (I think)
I hope that -ish ok xD
The credits should be more or less in order of first appearance.
I hope it’s not too annoying that most doodles aren’t perfect.
I purposefully only picked the cute and funny ones
so that the video would be more coherent.
Most of the clips are standalone doodles
but some are from semi-started projects.
If you like any clip especially
or have an idea for 2023
I’m always open for suggestions ;)Although I do admit my backlog is rather thicc already haha
Goals for 2023
Start Full MMD Handholding Tutorial
Fix my production pipeline
Get myself together
What is a “Full MMD Handholding Tutorial”?
I now more or less have a series of MMD tutorials planned out
that is supposed to teach everything one would need to know
to make MMD content.
Handholding is meant as:
I’ll try to cover and show everything
you would need or want to do in the tutorials.
”Holding your hand” while guiding you through thepain joy that is learning MMD. :^)
Yes, this includes Ray MMD
and yes, I will go over everything I know about Ray MMD
so that we have a good Ray MMD tutorial for once xD
(I’ll try my best at the very least)
The current overview looks like this:
1. Why get into MMD
2. How to use MMD
- “Your first video”
- Features & Gimmicks
3. Shopping
- Where to get assets
- Known asset creators
- (Iwara) Known Ecchi asset creators
- How to keep track of assets and credits (my Notion setup)
4. Rendering
- MMD & Shaders
- Ray MMD (THE FULL PACKAGE/it’s own series)
- Blender (additional smaller videos)
- C4D, Unity, etc. (Mentioning others)
5. Animating
- Adjusting Motion, Facials and Blinks
- VMDSizing
- MMM Series
- (Iwara) Sex Tutorial Series?
6. Model Editing
- How do MMD models work?
- Headswap
- Fitting accessories
- (Iwara) Skintight Clothing
- (Iwara) NSFW Edit
7. Final touches & Other topics
I won’t make the tutorials in that order
but it’s the order that would make sense
for a beginner playlist.
I think I’m going to make the skintight clothes tutorial next,
since 2023 is the year of the bunny
if you catch my reverse ;D
I'm certain I missed some important topics to make a video for,
which is why I'm asking what else should be added to the list
or what would be really important to focus on.
The problem with my production pipeline
My production pipeline is currently like this:
MMM → MMD → Blender
I make an animation in MMM
I export it to MMD and clean unused keyframes,
fix problems and add facial morphs
I export that shareable motion again
and then use it to make a render in Blender
I create a blender project and then need to fix the motion again,
because Blender IK works differently from MMD
This gives me the following problems:
I can’t animate in MMD,
because it doesn’t have Animation Layers or other animation tools
I can’t render in MMM,
because there is literally no shader for it (except that ray port)
I can’t properly share motions with MMM alone,
since facials don’t get exported properly
I can’t animate in Blender,
as I’m not sure how to export it to MMD (or how to use it, yet)
The possible solutions I have are essentially these:
“Make MMD great again!”
There are already enough attempts at recreating MMD like nanoem,
I’m not going to add another one to the list :v
“I could try fixing the MMM ray shader, create my own MMM shader or return to Ray MMD”
Not exactly beyond my skills as a programmer,
but making one from scratch will take a lot of time regardless.
Going back to Ray MMD is a possibility,
since I know how to use it properly now,
but it feels like a step down from Blender,
so it’s not exactly ideal.
I could make a MMM plug-in, that properly exports motions to MMD with facials”
Really tempted to go for this one,
as making facials separately from loops is really annoying and time consuming.
Creating the add-on shouldn’t be too hard,
if I figure out how .vmd files are structured and how to get the values of bone angles/positions.
”I could scrap MMM/MMD and just straight up animate in Blender”
While this might make creating posts easier,
but from what I have tried with Blenders NLA and Meta Rig,
it’s not really that great, or rather,
I prefer the plug-ins that MMM already has.
It might be more attractive,
when I figure out how to export motions from Blender to MMD seamlessly.
Since, the whole point of why MMD is so nice,
is that motions and models are compatible,
so if I went against that,
it wouldn’t really be MMD now, would it?
I don't know what I'll end up doing yet,
only time will tell :v
Get myself back into shape
I… procrastinate a lot.
When I do, I tend to be rather productive elsewherelike playing Darktide or making Earlette cum her brains out
to keep myself busy and distracted
while my stress keeps on building up.
In the end I manage to finish my stuff last minute
but it’s not exactly pleasant or really necessary in the first place :/
Now that I have more or less taken this hobby seriously,
I started procrastinating with MMD too.
Same reason as with my other stuff,
I feel like there is so much that I want to do and make
(or have to do)
that I end up doing nothing at all.
So, in order to properly stop procrastinating,
I plan on building some habits, old ones included
like reading before bed and going for a walk.
Probably going to read “Atomic Habits” and “Productivity Project” again.
I actually still have my old “focus-on-improve” discord channel.
Back then I really stuck to the principle of:
”That, what you do for tomorrow,
is that, what makes today so great”
Really need to get back to that mindset haha
Last words for 2023
I tend to write a lot in my descriptions
because I want to be
as transparent and approachable as possible.
I'm not sure if writing such long soliloquies
actually does that
or if that just makes me look insane xD
Regardless, I wish you all aHAPPY NEW YEAR🎆
Now that I think about it,
I don’t think I have made
Earlette cum even once this whole time…
huh… guess that’s another goal for 2023 then :^)
