How to import an MMD model into Blender

Overview

How to import a MikuMikuDance model into blender. You can than use this for Garry’s Mod player models or any other things you would need to do in Blender.

Introduction

What’s up!

So you need to get a MikuMikuDance(abbreviated to mmd) into Blender.

Well you clicked on the right guide.

Now I know I am definitely not the best person to be teaching this guide however the only models I actually mess with in Blender are mmd models. So I think I have a pretty good grasp at importing these models.

Downloads

Let’s start with the things you will need to download, and some explanations as to what each of these are.

Where to find a model.[www.deviantart.com] You can find plenty of stuff to download on Deviantart. Make sure you get the creators permission however if you wish to publish this anywhere as your own. Also make sure to give credit as no one wants their content stolen

Here is another place I know you can find models on and the one I personally use. The same rules apply on BowlRoll as Deviantart however it may be harder to contact these people.

{LINK REMOVED}MMDTools This is the set of tools I use for blender when working with MMD files. It can do more than just import but that is all we are focusing on in this guide

Adding mmdtools to Blender

Open up Blender and click on File>User Preferances or just use Ctrl+Alt+U.
This little box should come up and on it click install from fileAfter you click Install from file navigate to wherever you have your mmdtools saved and click on install from file. A littler box should be up that says Object:mmd_tools. Click on the little checkmark on the left and you have added mmdtools to Blender!

Importing the model

You should now see on the left tabs a little tab that says MMD. Click on it and the tab will open. Now under the Import section you want to click on model. Navigate to where you have your model saved and click Import PMX file(.pmx).
And thats all there is to it! Its a simple little guide but someone may find use from it. Thanks for viewing!
