How to Use the Squash and Stretch Effect.
Serendipity or happy accidents are one of the great joys in life and especially in research. As I was researching my article about squash and stretch, I found out that a MMEffect creator, named 豊作P, has created the Squash and Stretch Effect for MikuMikuDance. It’s here:
I found the Squash and Stretch effect download link here… If you visit the NicoNico video http://nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19845082 … You will see in the description, there, at the top, that the download for that effect is http://bowlroll.net/up/dl13181 and the password is housaku
I realize that this has become a mantra, it is important to have MMEffects properly installed in MMD. Please see Noko2’s article on that It’s here: https://learnmmd.com/http:/learnmmd.com/download-mme-install-mikimikueffects-add-effects-mmd-7-39/ or this article by our fearless leader Reggie: https://learnmmd.com/http:/learnmmd.com/download-mme-v036-in-english/
You will notice four items (a Read Me file, 2 FX files and a PMD file). You need to load up the squash and stretch effect onto your model. Many effects are loaded this way, if you are an ardent reader of our articles, then this should almost be routine for you. However, a review is never a bad thing.
Go to your MMEffect button at the top right hand corner of your screen. Click on that and then select the Effect Mapping (M) option. Another window will open up, double click on the model’s name and load up the Squash and Stretch FX file. Now click the Okay button in the Map Effect window.
Loading the squash and stretch controller is our next task. It is listed as the SQUASH AND STRETCHControl pmd file, so it’s loaded up through the Model Manipulation Panel (MMP). Controlling the squash and stretch effect is done in the Facial Manipulation Panel (FMP). You can create and assign original motion data for one axis or all three axes.
Distortions and Contortions with Squash and Stretch.
The squash and stretch effect will greatly distort your model. I made the demo video devoid (intentionally) of any
The Squash and Stretch Effect can add a whole new cartoon like dimension to your animations. So let your imaginations go amok, and play around with this effect. Imagine a scene where two characters that are mad at each other, enter a house and close the door. Applying the Squash and Stretch Effect will show the house twisting and distorting with their fight inside.
Have fun with this.
