i love him SO MUCH imma cry
i'm so proud of how his miraculous turned out!!! i learned how to uvmap all on my own!!! XDDDDD im so happy

now imma tell a lot of stuff most people wont stop to read but anyways. i thought i'd share just because
the thing with my pc is: my current computer doesn't run mmd. i know. lame right. my graphics card is so bad it doesn't even support antialiasing lol. and i cant even open pmxeditor bc it lacks of Shader Model 3.0 T-T
how do i make my models then? i use my sibling's laptop, which was my computer before the one i use now. it's not a lot but it does the job; i've used that laptop for everything i ever posted on dA. then after i got this pc i entered a hiatus and barely had the chance to work on my models again
the only moments i still can make some mmd models are when my sibling isn't using the laptop, and they actually use it like 24/7 because of work and friends etc... which leaves me to the dawn when they're asleep, and it's fucking my sleep schedule
that's the major reason i don't have a lot of time to work on my models T~T
the brightside is: my computer DOES run metasequoia4. (and no, it doesn't run blender in any form XD in my laptop i use blender 2.7-something, which isn't the latest version at all) i've never put my hands in this software before, i used to rely solely on pmxeditor before, although i've always wanted to learn 3d modelling it always scared me a lot, it's so intimidating! but after learning the basics i now see that it's not that hard! and i'm loving it so much ><
i've only done objects yet, nothing organic, but it's a lot of fun to do so. i hope i end up practicing a lot and finding my way into 3d modelling like a pro someday!

but metasequoia also gives me headaches sometimes, remember i said i'm having trouble with adrien's facials? well i came up with the brightest idea of making the facial morphs on metasequoia, add vertex morphs instead of bone morphs like i was doing before. since his rig to the face bones weren't pleasing me so i thought i'd made my own expressions y'know? it was a good idea, right?
well, yes, IF pmxeditor didnt separate some faces of the models when converted to mqo or pmd. i cant explain exactly why or how it happens, but the models simply get "sharper" at the seams. which isn't a total problem since i can always fine tune afterwards, however it does multiply the number of vertices of the model. and now tell me. how will i make a vertex morph. IF THE NUMBER OF VERTICES ARENT THE SAME???? aUIOAGUFQE89U8Q3R2O19R03RU039RU i literally scratched my head over this for HOURS and still didn't come up with a solution. it would be all oh-so-resolved if i had the latest version of blender, where i can just load the pmx file and make the facials there. the version i use (2.7-something) does have the mmd plugin to it but it doesnt have the sculpt function, which was essential to the case.
i still dont know what to do with this model. if anyone wants to sculpt his facials i would be glad to simply give the goddamn model lol. but it still hurts me that i'm not able to do this, and i'm actually so excited to do so, i loved the idea of the sculpted vertex morphs because it's something i've never tried before and sounds promising enough for me to try. well i'm not done with this model yet and haven't officially given up! so who knows what happens next right hahahahah
but i AM done talking, i do realize that i wrote the whole bible here but hey i just wanted to share what's been going on on my lil heart.
happy new year to everyone who read until the end! xoxo and stay safe
