No Diamonds Appear in Frame Chart and How to Fix It
I love reader questions, and this article is based on a reader’s question. The best thing about articles based on readers’ questions is that I learn what terminology they use. Instead of “no diamonds appear in frame chart”, I would have said “Why are there no indicator things in the place with the bone names”!
The Real Question is “Why Aren’t Bones in the Display Pane?”
To begin, for a diamond to appear in the display pane, the bone you are manipulating needs to be in the display pane.
This is the screen in PMX Editor which you will need to use. For a bone to be in the display pane, it needs to be added to a group. Luckily for me, I’ve already written an article explaining all of that here. However, if you understand all of that and just want a reference of what goes where, check here for a chart of all groups and what they contain.
A small note is that when a bone name says “Null” in MMD, that is because there is no English name. Going into the bone tab of PMX Editor and giving the bones an English name will fix that!
Okay, but that’s not the issue sometimes.
I had almost finished writing this article when I opened up MMD and looked at the display pane a little closer. One strange thing was that when I tried to register movement to a bone like “Null_44”, an “X” showed up.
Hopefully, you now know why no diamonds appear in frame chart!
And in addition, hopefully you now know how to change the display pane in PMX Editor so that diamonds will appear.
