Hi there!

Not sure if anyone remembers, but I created and used to run an online MMD community called MikuMikuPositivity. It got pretty popular within a short space of time & people seemed to really enjoy the mascot & group activities. The group is long since closed, but recently I got around to using my old laptop again. Here are some unreleased images from MikuMikuPositvity's original revamp project back in 2020, called PikuPikuCafe. I thought these images deserved to see the light of day, so here they are!!

This project & the MikuMikuPositivity Group / blog / community ultimately got scrapped around 2020 following a series of unexpected changes & unrest between members. Back at the time, I remember feeling so upset and disheartened by this, but decided that it was better to let the group fizzle its own way out slowly. In its better days, I like to think that the group hopefully made people happy. At least, I hope it made people as happy as it made me back then.

Uploading this feels like closure on this time, and on the MMD community in general. I feel happy and grateful now, despite everything. I hope you like them as much as I do :)

Much love x

Would you mind giving me some critiques for this video? I’m feeling proud of the style I used but I would like critique as well!

[miku-miku-positivity]

sorry, something went wrong on our end and wouldn’t let us respond to it! (⋟﹏⋞)

The video looks really cute!!!!! the style is lovely- and my only critique, apart from smoothing the animation, is that you used rainlite- a good tip to make rainlite look more like actual rain is to decrease the size and transparency!! so make the first rainlite .7 and transparency at .6, and then the next at size .5 and transparency .5, and then another at size 9 and transparency .7- not necessarily in that order!!! just make sure you have 2 instances of rainlite and make their sizes and transparency a bit different to give a little dimension to your video!!

the animation is the only other thing i’d say that needs work- but other than that it looks lovely! the style and contrast of miku being the only thing in color amidst the monochrome is an amazing touch!!!

thank you so much for the submission! (๑￫ܫ￩)

decided to spend some time in mmd today and i figured out how to get the shadows i want! and it turns out it was actually very easy and i’ve been losing my mind for nothing LOL…. just gonna copy and paste the break down from my twitter:

◆no fx: as is ◆es.x default: all the effects are loaded up ◆es.x edit: it’s actually just a tiny edit to the shadows and my preference on how i want them to look! i’m inspired by this (now inactive) mmd user and i think it’s sort of close to how they would create shadows… they’re cooler though because they made their own shaders and edited other people’s effects as well! something that i still practice doing lol

anyways can’t wait to apply this to my works in the future!

[miku-miku-positivity]

This is so cool!! (´♡`) the shadows look breathtakingly realistic!!! The power of mme skills (´∀`) I also really like how OP keeps the edgeline, it’s not often seen with these styles of tenders but it looks really good!!! ( ´∀｀)

PikuPikuQuarantine (+Tiny Challenge) (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)

Hey there! ( ´ ▽ ` )

So...as you all know...things are happening (；⌣̀_⌣́) and it’s important not to catch any MikuMikuMcGerms! In order to do that, you have to stay at home!!! (´ ω `♡)

But...staying at home isn’t the easiest at the best of times..... (o˘◡˘o) Sometimes its boring, sometimes it’s lonely...sometimes it’s just Bad (TM) even though it is essential...sometimes it can be unpleasant.  (*/ω＼)

so!!!! i’d like to propose an idea! A game! A challenge!!!! ^D^/ It is:......Wash your hands.

That’s the FIRST idea....... (//ω//) the second idea is count each of your fingers. You should have five. Or four and a thumb! Or maybe five thumbs!  („ಡωಡ„) that’s valid too! even if kinda odd.......uh (°◡°)

With each of those five...things  (・`ω´・), you should remember five things you love!! Think about them for a bit. let them make you feel all fuzzy in a time of un-fuziness.  ( 〃▽〃) Then, do this:

1. Make a picture featuring a model you love. 2. Make a picture featuring a food you love. 3. Make a picture featuring a place you love. 4. Make a picture featuring a song you love. 5. Make a picture featuring a character/ person you love.

That’s it. That’s the challenge. (っ˘ω˘ς )

Unlike our other projects, there is no time limit. (´ ω `♡)  No start date. No end date. No competition. No strict guidelines. No dates. The only requirement is that you make something you enjoy. And it hopefully helps get you through and pass a little time in quarantine... ( ´ ω ` ) No prizes....or...maybe there might be. who knows.  (￢‿￢ )  Only way to find out is if you do it.  ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )  right...? hehe...he.  ( ˙꒳​˙ )

If you’d like, upload your images on dA, Tumblr, or Twitter, and Tag us! Tag the day, because everyone will be on different days at different stages. We’d love to see what you make!  ( ´ ω ` )

Let’s get through this together, one picture, or thumb, at a time. (o^▽^o)

“Sour is becoming the new TDA and it’s disgusting, stop it”

It’s the same thing as hating on TDA styled edits just because they’re often seen!! If people want to experiment on using another model style to create, then let’s let them! Wouldn’t it be nice to see something fresh in our MMDC, anyway…? (＠＾◡＾) Sour styled models are cute, high quality, and seem to be relatively easy to edit because of their near perfect physics and rigging. Is it really fair to put people down for choosing to use a specific model type to make a genuine edit? (´ ∀ ` *) People who don’t intend on breaking rules and just want to create a model that’s partly their own? (´ ω `) because…….

Do you know something that we should be complaining about instead, and making an effort to stop?

ILLEGAL SOUR EDITS

Ruby by meIaniie

How lovely  (´｡• ω •｡`) ♡ The posing and angle is very nice, and I really like how all the colours look together!   \(^ヮ^)/ It looks like a game loading screen, or cute new wallpaper somehow... (☆▽☆) Awesome work!  (o´∀`o)
