【TUTORIAL】How to Convert a Vroid Model to PMX 【Vroid2Pmx】

Фильм және анимация

Hey y'all I made a tutorial on how to convert Vroid models to PMX models for MMD! It's a bit long and ramble-y because I recorded it on a whim but hopefully it helps ^^;
You will need:
Vroid2Pmx: bowlroll.net/file/267190
PmxTailor: bowlroll.net/file/267191
PmxEditor (in english): www.deviantart.com/inochi-pm/...
MMD transparency (draw order) tutorial: www.deviantart.com/trackdance... (since I didn't do a great job of explaining how the material draw order works)
You can download this model (and the other VOCALOID 6 models I made in Vroid) here: www.deviantart.com/yinp/art/M...
Motion used at the end is by mobiusP: www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4056...
ALSO this is how to edit the final result to use game rip motions: • 【MMD】Making MMD Models...
0:00 - Introduction
0:35 - Export VRM
1:17 - Vroid2Pmx and PmxTailor
3:15 - Fixing material draw order (PmxEditor)
5:39 - Removing unneeded bones (PmxEditor)
6:23 - Removing unneeded mesh (PmxEditor)
8:53 - Batch name editor (OPTIONAL)

    When deleting the bones, you should also make sure to view hidden bones (gray circle on the bottom of PMX Editor, the fourth option) because bones that end in a point actually have another bone there without a tail.

    this is one of the best directions on 'how to' out there. Some issues to be careful of that I ran across was when I copied or moved the PMX Editor and Tailor to other drives, they became corrupted. It might be better to download separately for each drive. When I attempted the Japanese to English it also became corrupted and I was missing some bones and only had the basic skeletal structure of the model, so I guess I will be learning Japanese now. And the tutorial is right. Be very careful when you edit the bones. Ohayou and have a Miku day.

    That is the first tutorial, that I've encountered, that explains the PMX Tailor. You can't imagine, how often I've struggled with fixing one of my models weird physics, when using the Unity MMD Exporter, and the Vroid2PMX converter left the physics static, unless I use PMX Tailor. It can help to import either the VRM into Blender first. or the pmx with physics instead, to get rid of the Zero Weight bones there. ( Using CATS or Uunya MMD Tools. both provide a neat feature for that; blender 2.7x+ and blender 3.0+ only, blender 4.x is not yet properly supported by either tool) Additionally if you make obscured Parts transparent in Vroid already( in case of asymetry just disable the mirror mode), as well as use the Skin Mask feature( everything you paint in as black will be deleted), VRoid Studio will get rid of the transparent faces by itself using the Delete Transparent meshes option.( if only there was a feature, to ignore the face mesh though)

    Great tutorial! But when i was following along, i noticed that when i came to the hierarchy part, there was still clipping/transparency. I went to see some other tutorials and apparently, it's sometimes suggested to move what is at the forefront of the model, to move it all the way at the bottom. So for anyone still struggling with clipping, try moving your stuff at the bottom

    Thank you for the tutorial! I have a quick question regarding how to fix clipping if you've added a tail to your model! I created the tail just with the hair tool in vroid and then in unity connected the tail to the hip, only issue is when I've then gone through with the vrm2pmx conversion, the tail and skirt kinda of clip into one another, I'm assuming this has to do with the weight physics but not entirely sure since I don't regularly use mmd. I tried looking up other tutorials but haven't found anything regarding vroid tails and fixing them

    If anyone has any idea... this software only converts vroid models so if you have attached accessories in unity and save it as vrm, it won't be added to the converter. Is there a way to get the .vrm exported from unity with items or hair accessories to be baked into pmx? I did this multiple times and yes the accessories are missing. Another way is to downgrade unity and use pmx exporter but it's so tedious.

    Curious Question: What do you do with the rest of the PMX Conversion files once you are done editing the Main PMX File in question? Do you just remove them out or keep them incase something messes up? Because, I'm currently making an MMD Pack based off my Indie-Cartoon "Hayla Studios: Boot-Up" and wanted to make sure nothing goes wrong.

    I always keep hem - at least until I'm 100% satisfied with the finished product (having tested it and everything). You always wanna save a copy, instead of saving over your work, because it has happened to me SO many times where I realized several edits later that something had gone wrong with a previous step. So yeah definitely recommend hanging onto those until you're certain that you're finished

I ran into a problem myself, and I just wanted to say this method may not be best for vroids that have things made out of hair such as tails ^^"" the vroid straight form the vtube studio works well, but if i run it through unity to transfer the bones it doesn't work in the converter ^^""

    Yeah, the converter only works on VRM models straight out of VRoid, if you've made a tail or something else out of hair you'll have to fix the physics in PmxEditor (i.e. re-parent the bones, make sure it's rigged correctly, etc.) There's a great tutorial on how physics work in MMD and PMX editor here kzread.info/dash/bejne/c395zrRmp9e4nto.html (it is a bit old I'll admit, but it goes over everything very well and they've made other mmd physics tutorials as well)

    For example, for my Kagamine Rin VRoid->MMD model I made the necktie out of hair since VRoid doesn't have that kind of bow available, so in the PmxEditor step I also re-parented the physics bones to the upper body bones and made sure it was rigged to the upper body instead of the head, you can download the model and see how I set it up if you like kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKCao6eaZsnAndI.html (although obviously for a tail, you'd wanna parent it to the lower body bone instead)

It's also worth noting that it only works on models straight out of VRoid, if you've edited it in Unity then you'll have to go back and re-export the original model

    If you've made a custom hair style in vroid itself instead of using the premade ones, you will need to add the physics in VRoid itself first. It's pretty simple, just go to where you went to make the hairstyle and click "edit bounce" instead of editing the hair

    Check and make sure the transparency in the texture image file itself is correct, there could also be drawing issues if the materials aren't in the right order. Or, it could be an issue with the edgline, since VRoid2Pmx makes an additional material for the edgelines of materials with transparency, so that could be the source of the issue as well

    Raw export from vroid2pmx is usually about 4,200 kb with physics, but you can slim that down pretty easily cleaning up hidden materials like I do in the video. That's also with exporting from vroid with "delete transparent meshes" checked, which reduces the filesize considerably.

Or, you can just open PmxEditor first and click "file -> open" in the smaller window that pops up and navigate to where Vroid2Pmx saved the output file
