Making Your First Model Using Blender
by LearnMMD's Mae Blythe


Welcome to my tutorial showing you how to use Blender to create an MMD model from scratch!
Model-making is a complicated process and it will take quite awhile and quite a bit of experimentation on your part for you to create your finished model.

This is NOT a Blender instruction tutorial... I expect that you can already USE Blender, to some degree...
... as we get into Part 2 of this model-making tutorial, I will give you some links to nice online tutorials that will show you the basics of using Blender.
You must have a handle on Blender before you start my tutorial, here.

I have broken the process of creating your MMD model into bite-sized pieces:
  1. Franken-reference
  2. Setting-up Blender
  3. Modeling the Lower Body

  13. Prepping the UV / AO Images for Texturing
  14. Importing your Model into PMXe
