happy early halloween!!! i don’t think i’ll be preparing anything this year for halloween (maybe i’ll decide later tonight if i want to honestly haha) so have this literal 5 minute headswap of a commission i did but with meiko instead because the outfit was cute as an apology for missing halloween this year (in advance):’)

Hey so like, I know anyone younger than 13 really shouldn’t be in the MMDC or on dA or anything, but there’s kinda no avoiding it. Kids are gonna end up here. I don’t condone it but I’m not their parent so whatever.

If you’re gonna gossip and start drama and witch hunts, maybe don’t target 11/12 year olds? They’re young. They’re still learning. They’re gonna do stupid shit. Literally everyone does stupid shit when they’re that young. If they’re doing something you don’t like, tell them what’s wrong and leave it at that. If you try to send an “army” to harass and annoy them, you just look like a fucking idiot.

My youngest friend is 12 and I regard him like a younger brother. He’s got a lot he needs to learn. He has a lot of bad habits to grow out of. He is not a perfect person by any means and that’s fine, he’s learning. When I wake up to messages from him saying that someone is harassing him again, I’m genuinely fucking baffled. I don’t expect a 12 year old to know how to properly handle drama, but I do expect 14+ year olds to not harass literal children.

Is anyone aware of the situation involving JMatt?

It’s seems to have blown up quickly these past few days with the Japanese side of the community, but I haven’t seen anything about it yet on the Western end. I woke up this morning to this message in my Twitter inbox and I feel as if they explained it best. Better than I could.

I’m not all that great with words, but to sum it up: JMatt379 is stealing parts? That’s what I’m getting from this and Twitters weird translation system. He also deleted his DeviantArt.

Sameta_Tiramisu said to give them time as they’re going to make a post about it explaining it all in better detail for the community to understand.

I’ve decided to share what I know so far since I haven’t seen anything on our end about it yet.

A better translation for the last one:

“JMatt 379 The stage is truly disappointing, but redistribution of materials for fee redistribution, suspicion of using ripping material While nearly black works are growing, MMDer's work private / deletion correspondence is also familiar or whether correspondence was quick. Whether it seems that the fact that voluntarily handling painful and severe correspondence is also prudent to the eyes of third parties. There are also MMDer who does not use tweets and good MMDer overseas."

Hello, MMD Community. I come with some screenshots. So, I play Second Life, yeah? Occasionally I like to buy things for my avatar...and what do I stumble upon? These. I know for a fact the 8 bit glasses are by o-DSV-o on DeviantArt. The beanie is by Likeabaka/Cacti-sloom. But she’s moved accounts and I don’t know where to find her now, hh. The “Migos Glasses” are by arneth-myndraavn. I can’t locate the others yet, but those who I have I’ve sent notes to.. But yeah. MMD things are being stolen and sold on the Second Life marketplace now and thanks to a shitty report system I can’t do shit about it.  Here’s the link to the store: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/180333 Here’s the link to the person behind it: https://my.secondlife.com/solokenia

"I can't credit, because people will copy me!"

Hello there!!!!! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ Today I’m going to talk abt something I see very often among our MMDC!! (o･ω･o) There is a very often-expressed idea about crediting model or effect creators. It’s very often that you’ll see a video or render uploader refusing to credit the source of their models, stages, and effects, for fear that their work will be copied and remade by someone else… o(>< )o It’s felt that linking back to their parts and sources would allow other people to create exact replicas of their content, so naturally, they will not credit publicly. (￣︿￣) There are a few things I’d like to say about this! ヾ( ￣O￣)ツ This might be a long long post, so please, hang in there!!!!! (￢_￢;) So firstly, I don’t think this is much of a good thing at all….. >< I’ll explain why in a few reasons!!!! Most MMDers edit or modify parts, models, or effects heavily before applying them to a render or video, rendering them often unrecognisable. Most MMDers will not simply slap down an effect on a video. For example- they will edit the size, transparency, intensity, range, what area the effect affects (i hate English thx) all of that stuff!! (＾＾＃) For lens flares and DOF effects, they will adjust the placement and range of the effect itself. The way you layer effects (their placement in the accessory draw order) also will affect how your outcome looks. (￣ω￣ ) All of these things and careful effect manipulation can make effects look completely different- almost unrecognisable!! (ง ื▿ ื)ว Two people can use o_bleachbypass, for example- one can set it on a very dull, dark colour, and one can make it a highly saturated red by adjusting the numbers in the accessory panel. This creates two very different outputs!!!  (￣▽￣*)ゞ

Effects themselves are usually highly manipulated and edited before the final render- This especially applies to more “complicated” shaders like raycast or NCHL!!!! (*/▽＼*) For this reason, an MMDer crediting a single effect can pretty much mean…literally anything, really. (￣ ￣|||) The same applies to model parts- more experienced MMDers will edit and retexture their parts before applying them to their edits. You can really often see edits that have unrecognisable faces and clothes (Side eyes @ people who make 3DCG parts look good….somehow,,) (´-ω-`( _ _ ) Meaning crediting the original uploader won’t really mean much in terms of making it easy to copy since their part looks so different to yours! (＃＞＜) For example, this is something I see a lot with the more “advanced” TDA KanekoRanou Miku edits, where the shirt or boots has been edited a lot in both mesh and texture by an editor. (￣□￣」) So crediting KanekoRanou and TDA themselves is deserved, but the final piece looks a lot different to KanekoRanou’s original TDA Default Miku. So it’s hard enough to replicate exactly. U feel me? (＃￣ω￣) High-quality uploads are usually quite hard to replicate or copy, regardless of who you credit and how much you credit!!! ( ` ω ´ ) Most creators have MORE THAN ONE SINGLE resource available for download. This applies to modellers, texture makers, part makers, effect makers…everyone, really! (￢_￢;) Most creators create continuous parts or effects and put them for DL, so the person you get a resource from probably has 20 similar resources in their gallery! (o^ ^o) Most modellers don’t stop at one model, most part makers release lots of different parts. Game rippers rip in packs, usually themed, and from particular games. Things come in bulk. (*/ω＼) This especially applies to effect makers! (*ﾉωﾉ) With people like Beamman-P, Otamon, Sobaro, Ikeno, etc. having high numbers of effects on offer. The majority of the commonly used effects in the Western MMDC come from the same maybe 10 people! (*ﾉ∀`*) And these 10 have 20+ different effects, all for download on their respective profiles!!! (ᵔ.ᵔ) So, instead of crediting individual effects or parts, why not credit the creators instead? Listing the names gives rightful credit but still preserves quite a bit of secrecy, if that’s what you’re aiming for!! Credit the creator names!! (≧◡≦) ♡ Refusing to credit at all is denying creators the credit they deserve. Part makers, model makers, effect makers, all work very hard to put out cool things for you to use!! (´ ω `♡) A full model from scratch can sometimes take upwards of 50+ hours to make, texture and rig fully!! (￣□￣」) Downloadable parts like clothing or shoes can take days to fine tune depending on complexity. Game rippers take time to carefully port files over. Effect makers spend HOURS AND HOURS coding things to create effects for you to use!! And remember, all of this is freely accessible without you having to pay a thing!!! (」°ロ°)」 Crediting is a way of thanking and acknowledging the creator’s hard work, as well as allowing them to see what you’ve made (which is actually a huge boost to a creator; it often gives people a kick to see their resources being used!!!) If they poured in all those hours to make something for you to use, can’t you pour in a few seconds to write their name in the description of your upload? (＞ｍ＜) Small things really do go a long way!! (＾＾＃) I could say more, but I think I’d be repeating myself a bit… (–_–)U *******ON ANOTHER NOTE….. If you happen to come across someone who isn’t crediting properly, talk to them politely and help them!! (っ´ω`)ﾉ(╥ω╥) Don’t “call them out”, or send them insults, and certainly don’t send your friends to harass them. (*/ω＼) Talk things through first! You’re so much more likely to come to a resolution faster if you treat the other person with respect first. (＃￣0￣) Going in guns blazing and armed with insults will only end in the other person fighting back, and it’ll probably make them less likely to add the credits in the end, too… (´-ω-`) So be nice to each other, right? (*ﾉ∀`*) 

That’s it! Sorry for the long post! (￣▽￣*)ゞ I hope you survived this far!!!!! If you have, I have one thing left to say… Have a good day today!!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

There’s no point in idolizing other members of the MMDC. We’re all jackasses one way or another. Anyone can read this post and agree they’re a jackass somehow. There are no perfect people.

Now, if you read this and personally take offense to it, it’s very likely you’re trying to hide something.

If you refuse to credit for fear of people “copying” you, I hate to break it to you but it seems as though your ego has blinded you to the real quality of your work. Good artists give credit where it’s necessary. Pull your head out of your ass and credit people. No one’s gonna copy your mediocre shit.

[mmdrama12262019]

Let me get a little serious for a moment.

Do not let anybody make you feel unwelcome in this community, no matter what the circumstances are. Everybody dislikes somebody else in this community, and sometimes you’re the person people dislike. Sometimes a lot of people dislike you. Do not let those people drive you from doing what you enjoy. Do not let any amount of fighting or drama come between you and your hobbies. Keep making what you want to make. Surround yourself with new people. It’s time to keep growing. Get better. Keep having fun. If people don’t like you, well that’s fine, you’re not in this community for them. You are here for you. Ignore them. Block them if you want to and move on from them. You don’t have to prove yourself to them. It’s okay.

[miku-miku-positivity]

Reminder!!! (´∀`)

Be kind to your content creators!! ＾ω＾

Most modellers or part creators or effect makers work really hard to create things for you to use!! (´♡`) they share their cool things with you so you can enjoy them too!!! and make cool things of your own (o´▽`o) it’s a cool concept!!!!

Which is why it’s a good idea to respect their rules and intentions!!! (´∀`) the creator of a resource is almost always in both legal and moral possession of the resource (editors can be an exception) and they usually have and deserve the right to place whatever rules or restrictions they please on their content!!! ( ´ ▽ ` )

You don’t necessarily have to agree with every rule in place…..but! Please don’t harass or belittle creators for what they decide to do with their content! Doing that seems a very common problem in our MMDC…unfortunately…I think it’s one we need to address more!!! (*ﾉωﾉ)

Keyword here is: Their content! Not yours!!! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

It’s a good idea to treat creators as humans. They have feelings too, and can and will get upset, need breaks, and have worries. Treating a user like a model or part resource and not as a person will only lead to trouble!! (＃＞＜) Treating people with kindness, too, will ultimately result in kindness in return (´♡`)

Let’s be kind to creators!!!!! (´• ω •`) ♡

I’m practicing With good crying faces and MME a lot, and I kinda feel like  I’m improving, what do you guy think?

[littleretrofox-blog]

Ok this is the last of my Fukase dump. Without context it seems a bit odd, so allow me to explain, it’s basically him reacting to a kiss. IDK I just imagine him to be the kind of guy who gets flustered really easily, plus I was bored out of my mind so, yea goodnight^~^
