Thanks for your service If my pc could handle the power of ray i would use it however when i try to render it to a video (any type) it just closes mmd So yea problem with pc Also extremly laggy But thanks
@@MauricioLSB I see. The first half of my next tutorial is about customizing the model's eyes in general so it doesn't require ray-mmd. I'll be making other tutorials aside from ray-mmd i just want to cover all topics regarding it
@@BATMAN10N I encountered this as well and can't find a solution. Ray-mmd isn't good with plain backgrounds for some reason. It wants a 3d stage to be loaded
Also I want to point out, another common reason why your model all black is because it might be in another langue MMD can't recognize. I had this issue when I was trying to use Dan Heng and he was in Chinese. So changing the name helped.
My Question is, did you change the name to an English name or Japanese? Because I think what you’re talking about is causing my stage to turn up all black as well even after I change the material to the 2.0 to fix it.
You're welcome. I'm glad my tutorial was able to help you. I'm making a new one about night scenes using ray-mmd and positive comments like this motivates me to make more! Have a nice day
Wow! Fantastic tutorial! Your MMD tutorials are amazing and very easy to follow! I also like how Miku counts the steps in the tutorial, the facial expressions are really cute! Thanks for making this helpful video, I'll be looking forward to future tutorials! 😃
Thanks for this tutorial! I have been struggling with Ray for months. This is the best tutorial video for sure. Can't wait for more videos for your channel!
Is this real? Are you real? THIS IS AMAZING AND IM SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS. I spent so so many hours watching way way to many tutorials on how to use ray mmd only to forget the process and struggle to relearn it. Im so happy i found this video ONE STOP SHOP. I will be referring to this video often. Thank you!
Oh god, i just started using ray mmd lately and figuring out by myself are too much for my smol brain xD Your video really helped me a lot, thank you so much~

Insane video. INSANE. I needed this months ago, but dude serious. AMAZING video, clear, good quality, an ACTUAL VOICE NARRATING IT. Absolutely amazing. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
You're welcome. I'm glad my tutorial help another MMDer again. Stay tuned because the next tutorial I'm making has additional techniques that I use for night scenes
Thank you so much for making this video, I wasn’t sure how to Ray-MMD after I saw your last tutorial since I’m a beginner of MMD and wanna used it for my Vocaloid/SynthV covers. This was really helpful!
My recommendation is to play around with the settings! Of the ray controller to see what fits best with your stage also to of the shadow of the model is to dark I recommend to get rid of main.fx on the model (not the stage)
You're welcome! I'm making the next tutorial now and just finished the intro. Planning to finish everything by Friday or Saturday but if I don't make it in time, I will post an update in the Community tab.
4:21 Generalmente el modelo aparece negro cuando el nombre de ellos esta en otro idioma como el japones o el idioma chino. Hay que cambiar el nombre del modelo o carpeta donde este ese modelo.
You're welcome. I'll release a new tutorial tomorrow about the eyes and some techniques I use to customize materials inside MMD. Hope to see you there ☺
There's no chance you're looking for a live voiceover or a featured voice? I know your voice is so robotic 😂 but I thought I'd have to ask! I am obsessed with your growth!!
haha I'm using tts for now because its clearer than using my own voice so its easier for my viewers to understand the tutorial. I tried recording my own voice and I can feel the shyness lol I might do voiceovers later though
it would be interesting if there was a tutorial to attempt using ray mmd to make the effects even more realistic, the result in this video ends up looking more like a normal giant bloom and soft shading 2014 effect, i think the limits can be pushed further.
Hi! I have small problem, why when i put in the LightMap > Sky with box > Sky Hemisphere > Sky with lightning, why my models are yellow when i apply this?
Great Job! This tutorial was amazing! I've been using MMD for about 5 years now and I was using Ray cast at one-point last year to finally give my projects that extra wow effect with it but then I stopped making animations for a few months and when I came back, I forgot how to use it. This tutorial was very easy to follow. I've actually downloaded it to one of my SD cards, so I always have it if something happens to it on youtube. I was wondering if you could do a more recent tutorial for the semi-standard bone plugin. I used to have that working but now I always get a weird error message whenever I try to add the missing bones and re-installing it from scratch might help. There used to be a video for that on youtube that I followed but they deleted it.
Is it possible to use Ray-MMD without changing the model's skin tone? I just want to use the lighting and make the stage look better, but I want the model's look to stay the same. Thanks for the tutorial BTW 😄
Yeah its okay not to change the model skin and also you can experiment what materials you want to use. I just demonstrate how to use the materials so beginner's have idea how to use them. This is what I often use but I change material textures depending on the model or the stage the model is paired with.
Your tutorial is very good. Was able to follow everything you said. Only problem I'm having is for some reason My characters eyebrows/eyelashes Glow when the character is blinking/angry or closing eyes? And when I zoom in there are black boxes all over the character and at a certain spot of the slider it turns all green. How would I fix this? I know by mistake when i followed your video i put a setting that i seen you do. And am unable to reset it. it was for the glow for the headband. But my character doesn't have that feature. I believe the effect was called material albedo fx. I looked for it but could not find it. Pls help lol it looks really bad.
That's because the texture of your eye brows and eyes white are in the same subset. You need to separate them. Lucky for you that's the tutorial I'm currently making 😉 I'm planning to release the new tutorial on Sunday but typhoon hit our area so I might delay the release by a day or two
@@theweebdev Ok sorry to hear about the typhoon. And awesome to hear about the tutorial. Was wondering wtf was going with my characters 😂thank you so much for replying back!
Holaa, quizás esté llegando un poco tarde... Tengo un problema al poner "ray.x"... No observo ningún cambio y todo el entorno sigue siendo el mismo, he intentado una y otra vez solo para volver a fracasar. ¿Crees que me puedes ayudar?. Buen video por cierto
significa que MMD no puede leer dónde está ubicada tu carpeta ray.x. Coloca tu ray-mmd en tu escritorio o en la carpeta de descargas, reinicia tu PC, abre tu MMD y vuelve a intentarlo desde el principio.

Thanks friend, you helped me a lot, it was difficult for me to understand a little since my language is not English but I was able to achieve it haha, one question I have a problem with the model's feet, it is as if it were a little buried in the ground, do you have any ideas? how to solve it? or how to raise it a little above the ground.
@@theweebdev okay! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to export mmd video? I tried to watch some other tutorials but I always understand more from your tutorials. every time i try to upload a video to youtube, it just shows a black screen video. (sorry for my english haha:))
@@miccedits I can make one in the future but right now I'm completing the ray-mmd series that I started. As for your problem maybe we can solve it here now. What format do you upload your videos on CZcams? what codec do you use when exporting AVI from MMD?
If that's the case, it means MMD can't read where your ray.x folder is located. Put your ray-mmd on your desktop or downloads folder, restart your pc, open your MMD and try again from the start
I tried the link and its working. Sorry but I don't know if there's another link for the effect aside from this one since redistribution is prohibited. Maybe login with a different onedrive account or change your connection. I remember someone telling me before that they were able to access the link when they changed their wifi connection because it was for some reason being blocked(Not sure if that was the real reason though)
This was a very good tutorial that was easy to follow. However, one of my models gets white eyes whenever I load up Ray-MMD and using materials/main doesn't correct the issue whatsoever. Do you have any advice on this?
I can't really pinpoint the problem unless I see it. If the problem is your model's eye, I suggest watching my MMD eyes tutorial in my channel. Its covers a lot of things regarding the eyes czcams.com/video/YtKfjF15Gy0/video.html
@@theweebdev I'll do that! Thank you. If I cannot solve it, I'll try to upload a picture or video somewhere for reference. It only affects one model, which is unusual
Could you like make a tutorial if your using a japanese file or whatever to keep it intact and have it cause my model is white as well. thinking of using a different one like make a whole video cause this was never adressed in the tutorial at all
Sure but doing a video just for that specific problem seems very short like 1-2 minutes and only few will watch since its very specific. I'm going to put a lot of effort on something that's going to be buried by the algorithm so maybe I'll just add it as a bonus part in one of the tutorials that I'm going to make in the future that's related to it.
There could be a lot of reasons: 1. Your model's texture is corrupted when you extracted it using a file extractor that doesn't support other languages like japanese or chinese. Try to use a file extractor that supports those languages or install japanese/chinese language packs in your windows OS. 2. Sometimes you just need to change the name of your model from chinese to english. 3. Your screen resolution setting in MMD might be small or in vertical resolution. Change the screen size to 1920x1080 and try again. 4. Sometimes ray-mmd just don't work properly especially when the order of loading of assets isn't right. Start from scratch again. 5. Change the location of your ray-mmd to the same folder of your mmd or in desktop. 6. It could also be that ray-mmd isn't compatible with your pc. Change the version of your ray-mmd to a lower version like 1.5.1. 7. Sometimes, your model has issues. Use the same model and stage and finish the whole tutorial before experimenting using other models. 8. You can also just turn off then turn on(restart) your pc
@@Melonade3 You're welcome! I have other tutorials as well so if you want to learn more about using ray-mmd in different settings, just go to my channel. Have a nice day!
i just follow your tutorial for fix the crash texture when i load the Main.fx file, when i load the Material_2.0.fx file the character texture still crash (black)
Do i need extra light sources under roof? I tried making the skin brighter, like no-roof, but it doesn't work and if the model has dark skin the skin controller only makes it darker and the other controlers only make it paler. I aplied materials and played with skin and ray controller and skybox controller 😭
You use the Editor folder in the material map tab and change the values until the skin brightens. There's a comment in this video having the same problem about a genshin impact model getting more darker.
Thank you so much for this! But the skybox won't load. It gives me an error every time. I don't want to use Sky Hemisphere, I want to use an actual skydome with an image. But it won't load.
Thanks for this, I'm giving it a go. The effects are in a onedrive folder, and you can't download them. There is a problem with shared access, Microsoft don't seem bothered as there are several reports that haven't been addressed.
@@theweebdev MMD Community and its strange rules. People should finally start mirroring models, stages, motions and also effects. Otherwise MMD will be a dead program in a few years because more and more websites, storage pages and links no longer exist. Nothing is permanent. These strange rules like "don't share" of the MMD community are bullshit. It only makes things harder the more time has passed. No hate. but that had to be said publicly. I constantly hear from a friend how angry she must be about the bullshit, because something goes wrong with every second DL attempt, because dozens of creators have left their project and are no longer maintaining it.
@@jaydachecka Yeah I know the feeling. I get dead links a lot and missed out on some models/effects. That's why I make my own repository with all the effects so when their link doesn't exists anymore, I have a backup
Hello! thanks for the tutorial, but I still can't solve one problem: almost any scene turns black, even if I try to fix it in materialmap. what to do in this case? everything is ok with the characters, everything works correctly according to your tutorial. But I have not found a solution to the problem with the scene anywhere.
@@theweebdev Oh, I think this is going to be very problematic because it's at least half of the scenes that don't work and are filled with black. Can you please tell me if this is a raycast or scene problem? And is there any archive with working scenes with raycast? Thanks for the reply!!
Can't be sure unless I see the problem myself if it's raycast or other factors affecting the render. Hmm.. how about you give me at least one model that's turning black in your scene. If it doesn't turn black when I use it, it could be a problem with how your PC handles the operation. If it turns black when I use it as well, I'll try find where the problem is and fix it. Don't know any archives sorry
It means your pc can't handle that many model so you need to reduce the number of model you use. When this happens to me and I'm feeling stubborn, I still continue even if its laggy because you won't be seeing these lags when you export it to video later
Hey! I did everything in this tutorial but for some reason my model + stage + whole screem is really really bright? like so luminious, (without adding the extra effects), i think its with the skybox but im not sure? I did everything you did on this tutorial too
Its going to be bright at first when you applied skylighting. You need to adjust it by using the ray_controller. Also, did you use the same model and stage while doing the tutorial?
This is super easy to follow for someone whos new to mmd like me but i had some problems at the effect parts 😭 i download the dl in the description but when i try to load it and click on the file nothing show up expect for “old” something i forgot. When i click on it theres nothing 😢
@@kerokero7532 check your connection. I remember someone telling me before the same problem and he told me that the problem was his wifi blocking the source and when he changed the connection, he was able to download it
Hi hi, I've been having a bit of trouble trying to use ray mmd with my VRoid-made model. when I load ray.x in after my model, it makes my model glow all neon and make some sort of dupe-looking effect. How do i fix that?
You just loaded ray.x and haven't set it up like adding main.fx, etc. I suggest watching the whole video first and use the same model in the tutorial so it can be easy for you to troubleshoot once you use your own vroid model
@@theweebdev Something like that. Like creating a wall from scratch and adding it with skin using PMX editor, I would like to learn more about it, since im having a hard time learning by myself, which no luck of searching a decent tutorial here on YT.
You need blender for that if you want to make it from scratch. I haven't used blender for a long time so I forgot how to use it. I just use any assets available
is there a way to use ray-mmd with models that use transparent hair textures? (think its called 'haircards') It just dosen't seem to work well with these types of hair, the transparent ends just look broken and you can mostly see through it
@@RainbowsClone I've only used Vocaloid and Vtuber models which I haven't seen any transparency issues. If your problem is transparency, I believe in the "Main" folder there is a main_ex_noalpha.fx file. Use that instead of main.fx
Would it be possible to make models already optimized for Ray-MMD so we don't have to go through the whole process of changing the materials every time we want to use the shader?
No but you don't have to do this every time if you save a file with Ray-MMD already setup using this tutorial. Next time you need to use Ray-MMD, you'll just open that file and just load the model and stage since you already setup raymmd. It's like having a ready template that you can use again and again
Please tell me if there is a difference which version of MMD to use or not. And do I have to run ray effects and others every time, or is there a save function?
For the MMD version, you need to use the latest version just to be sure it can work well with Ray-MMD since 1.5.2 is it's latest version. If you don't want to setup raymmd again after this, you can just save an MMD file with Ray-MMD already setup then later when you want to use Ray-MMD, you just open that save file that you made. That's what I do. I have a template so I don't have to setup Ray-MMD every time and I'll just load a different model and stage
Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour ce tutorial mais je rencontre un problème avec cette version de Ray MMD (1.5.0 / 1.5.1 / 1.5.2) ; à chaque fois que je cherche à l'utiliser j'ai un message d'erreur : "Failed to run the effect script---DirectX Error : An undetermined error occured [80004005] (technique : DeferredLighting, pass: ShadowMapGen)" Je tourne sous Windows 11 et j'ai remarqué que je pouvais utiliser la version 1.3.- de Ray mais pas les versions 1.5.- (je ne peux utiliser que les versions bien antérieures à celle que j'ai besoin pour avoir accès à tous ces effets) Apparemment je ne suis pas la seule à avoir ce problème, avez-vous trouvé une solution pour pouvoir correctement utiliser Ray 1.5 ? Merci d'avance !
Based on the error, The installed DirectX on your pc is not compatible with ray-mmd. Download a different or latest version of directX on your computer and see if it works

hey! umm i followed your steps carefully but when i load main in mme my model goes all black expect for some parts and it doesnt fix when i add material 2.0... ive tried with multiple models to see if the model im using was the problem but it didnt change. still pitch black.. also the model leaves a transparent white trail behind it. could u pls help?
my Miku is all white, from top to bottom, just all white. downloaded from clicking on the description link, weird thing is, the name of the folder after pressing on つみ式ミクさんv4 is é┬é▌Ä«â~âNé│é±v4 instead of つみ式ミクさんv4. i tried to change the name to つみ式ミクさんv4 but it didnt work, still all white, and the pmx is also é┬é▌Ä«â~âNé│é±v4
Your file extractor is corrupting the names when it extracted the zip file because it doesn't support Japanese that's why your model is all white since it doesn't recognized the texture names assigned to it anymore. Use a different file extractor or install a language pack to your pc. This has been answered in the comment section so I advice reading them for more details
this video is super clear and easy to undertand, thanks, however whenever i attempt to load in ray.x to the accessories bar, it shows an error message before crashing mmd. i've tried redownloading, used different extractors as well as tried both the .zip and the other link. is there any way to fix this?
Are you the one I replied on reddit regarding changing the DirectX? I found this article maybe you could try installing these files: learnmmd.com/downloads/#C++ also this article can help: learnmmd.com/http:/learnmmd.com/troubleshoot-common-error-set-up/
@@theweebdev haha yeah 😅sorry about that. i've tried everythings that's been suggested, and even entirely reinstalled mmd, but it's still not working unfortunately.
I’m having trouble with the model texture’s, every-time i import inside of MMD, it doesn’t have the texture, i tried fixing it by installing the Japanese language pack, but it didn’t work. Can some help me with this, please?
@@Kjcool082 My tutorials are focused more on how to use effects inside MMD. I could add it as a bonus part if I cover a topic related to it but I don't know when it will be applicable.
Hey there, I checked some Ray MMD videos and noticed that they generally use SMAA (antialiasing) and GataGata. I'd like to ask what exactly are these effects since I was unable to find a good explanation online
Afaik Its use for post processing so when you export your video, it eliminates some noise that can make the video blur. I tried using it and I see no big difference with the quality of the video I exported. There are two ways to apply it. One is by loading a .x file and another one is changing the config of raymmd
@@rickalbuquerque595 Yeah that's what I've read before when I tried it. After seeing no difference(maybe there is but I can't see it since its negligible), I stopped using it
I tried to make the mmd the same as yours, but I used a different character and the eyes used a blink color 1 , But it didn't match because his eyes were burning brightly. Can you help me?
Hi there, If your problem is related to eyes, I just released a tutorial all about the eyes. I give there a very detailed explaination and I believe it will solve your problem. If you don't want to watch it all, just skip to chapter 6 of the MMD Eye tutorial
I have someone in the comments section asking the same question using a genshin model before and I told him to use the Editor folder inside raymmd materials folder to adjust the value manually. You can search it in the comments section for the step by step instructions
You can do it with just using raymmd. You just have to play with the ray_controller until you get the desired result. For example, you don't need to load HgSSAO for ambient occlusion, there's a slider in ray controller for that
I'm a starter in mmd so idk if I'm being completely stupid, but I'm struggling to download the model and background because it simply won't show up in the files. got any tips?
@@URS-fe5pu That's a problem with your file extractor not supporting Japanese so it corrupts the files. Either use a different file extractor like b a n d i z i p or change your pc's system locale to japanese and download again
Great tutorial, but no matter what I seem to do, the model always loads in white (with shadows). Is there something I'm doing wrong? (This problem begins as soon as a load the model, which appears completely white)
When you see model turning white, it usually means that the model can't read its own texture and is usually not related to ray-mmd. This usually happens when you downloaded a model which is in a different language(Chinese or Japanese) then when you extract the file, the file extractor(for example winrar) corrupts the naming of the texture so the model can't recognize the texture anymore. You can try to use a different file extractor that supports that language or you can install in your pc/laptop that language so you can extract it. For example, others use a different file extractor and it works but as for me, I still use winrar but I have japanese language installed on my pc. Hope that helps
@@theweebdev Thank you. You're right. When I changed the decompression language to Japanese, the model will no longer be white when it is loaded (the default decompression is Chinese).
Its etiher: 1. Your model's textures are corrupted because the file extractor that you used don't support Japanese language. Use a different file extractor or install Japanese to your pc 2. Your models name is in Chinese. Change its name to English 3. You can also use main_ex_noalpha.fx instead of main.fx
I just came here because I am curious on how does this tool works... not even a minute and I am already afraid of it... I will stay on blender, thank you
@@blackopsvocaloid39 niconico is down at the moment because of the hack. That is the only place to download the Miku model used in this tutorial. You need to wait until they secure their website or just use a different model for the mean time
Depends on the skybox you are using. You can decide what goes first for Sky Hemisphere skyox but for Time of day and Time of Night Skyboxes, its best to load your model and stage last to avoid problems.
Its been a long time I forgot how I solved the password. As far as I can remember, there is a document inside the model's folder when you download it and I know a little Japanese so I read the part where the password was stated so I used that as a password to extract the zip file. You can use google translate and paste the words there if you don't know how to read Japanese
@@jannik_miku_fan I already forgot it but you can try to use google translate. As far as I can remember, you should read the read me links provided by the creator and join his privatter to get the password.

it would be interesting if there was a tutorial to attempt using ray mmd to make the effects even more realistic, the result in this video ends up looking more like a normal giant bloom and soft shading 2014 effect, i think the limits can be pushed further.

Hi! I have small problem, why when i put in the LightMap > Sky with box > Sky Hemisphere > Sky with lightning, why my models are yellow when i apply this?
This is the first time I heard something turns yellow. I suggest finishing the tutorial using the model provided before using other models
Great Job! This tutorial was amazing! I've been using MMD for about 5 years now and I was using Ray cast at one-point last year to finally give my projects that extra wow effect with it but then I stopped making animations for a few months and when I came back, I forgot how to use it. This tutorial was very easy to follow. I've actually downloaded it to one of my SD cards, so I always have it if something happens to it on youtube. I was wondering if you could do a more recent tutorial for the semi-standard bone plugin. I used to have that working but now I always get a weird error message whenever I try to add the missing bones and re-installing it from scratch might help. There used to be a video for that on youtube that I followed but they deleted it.
Thanks. I haven't used any bone plugin but I'll make a tutorial about it if I came across something related to it
when I try to load ray.x, it just says it failed to load
edit: fixed it! if you have an old version of raycast, delete the file thats in that
Omg😂 nice edit and tutorial✨
Thanks! I'm planning to make a new tutorial starting on Monday.
Is it possible to use Ray-MMD without changing the model's skin tone?
I just want to use the lighting and make the stage look better, but I want the model's look to stay the same.
Thanks for the tutorial BTW 😄
Yeah its okay not to change the model skin and also you can experiment what materials you want to use. I just demonstrate how to use the materials so beginner's have idea how to use them. This is what I often use but I change material textures depending on the model or the stage the model is paired with.
thank you so much! you're the best!!
Thank you Alie 🥰
Thank you so much!
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Your tutorial is very good. Was able to follow everything you said. Only problem I'm having is for some reason My characters eyebrows/eyelashes Glow when the character is blinking/angry or closing eyes? And when I zoom in there are black boxes all over the character and at a certain spot of the slider it turns all green. How would I fix this? I know by mistake when i followed your video i put a setting that i seen you do. And am unable to reset it. it was for the glow for the headband. But my character doesn't have that feature. I believe the effect was called material albedo fx. I looked for it but could not find it. Pls help lol it looks really bad.
That's because the texture of your eye brows and eyes white are in the same subset. You need to separate them. Lucky for you that's the tutorial I'm currently making 😉 I'm planning to release the new tutorial on Sunday but typhoon hit our area so I might delay the release by a day or two

Could you tell me where to find the tabs used in the video? (FogMap, LightMap, EnvLightMap, MaterialMap, SSAOPMap...) I only have a tab called “Main”.

This was a very good tutorial that was easy to follow. However, one of my models gets white eyes whenever I load up Ray-MMD and using materials/main doesn't correct the issue whatsoever. Do you have any advice on this?
I can't really pinpoint the problem unless I see it. If the problem is your model's eye, I suggest watching my MMD eyes tutorial in my channel. Its covers a lot of things regarding the eyes czcams.com/video/YtKfjF15Gy0/video.html
@@theweebdev I'll do that! Thank you. If I cannot solve it, I'll try to upload a picture or video somewhere for reference. It only affects one model, which is unusual
Thank you so much
No problem bro. I'm currently making the next tutorial video so stay tuned :)
Could you like make a tutorial if your using a japanese file or whatever to keep it intact and have it cause my model is white as well.
thinking of using a different one like make a whole video cause this was never adressed in the tutorial at all
Sure but doing a video just for that specific problem seems very short like 1-2 minutes and only few will watch since its very specific. I'm going to put a lot of effort on something that's going to be buried by the algorithm so maybe I'll just add it as a bonus part in one of the tutorials that I'm going to make in the future that's related to it.
Even after loading material 2.0, the model is still black. Plz tell me how to fix this
There could be a lot of reasons:
1. Your model's texture is corrupted when you extracted it using a file extractor that doesn't support other languages like japanese or chinese. Try to use a file extractor that supports those languages or install japanese/chinese language packs in your windows OS.
2. Sometimes you just need to change the name of your model from chinese to english.
3. Your screen resolution setting in MMD might be small or in vertical resolution. Change the screen size to 1920x1080 and try again.
4. Sometimes ray-mmd just don't work properly especially when the order of loading of assets isn't right. Start from scratch again.
5. Change the location of your ray-mmd to the same folder of your mmd or in desktop.
6. It could also be that ray-mmd isn't compatible with your pc. Change the version of your ray-mmd to a lower version like 1.5.1.
7. Sometimes, your model has issues. Use the same model and stage and finish the whole tutorial before experimenting using other models.
8. You can also just turn off then turn on(restart) your pc
Tysmm this helped me so much!@@theweebdev

uhh... nevermind, i've rename the material's names with alphabet name, glad the model works perfectly
cool!!!
Do i need extra light sources under roof? I tried making the skin brighter, like no-roof, but it doesn't work and if the model has dark skin the skin controller only makes it darker and the other controlers only make it paler. I aplied materials and played with skin and ray controller and skybox controller 😭
You use the Editor folder in the material map tab and change the values until the skin brightens. There's a comment in this video having the same problem about a genshin impact model getting more darker.
when i add ray x my model like gets a little transparent, how can i solve that?😭😭
apply main_ex_noalpha.fx instead of main.fx in mme

The effects are in a onedrive folder, and you can't download them. There is a problem with shared access, Microsoft don't seem bothered as there are several reports that haven't been addressed.

Otherwise MMD will be a dead program in a few years because more and more websites, storage pages and links no longer exist. Nothing is permanent.

Can't be sure unless I see the problem myself if it's raycast or other factors affecting the render. Hmm.. how about you give me at least one model that's turning black in your scene. If it doesn't turn black when I use it, it could be a problem with how your PC handles the operation. If it turns black when I use it as well, I'll try find where the problem is and fix it.

Hey! I did everything in this tutorial but for some reason my model + stage + whole screem is really really bright? like so luminious, (without adding the extra effects), i think its with the skybox but im not sure? I did everything you did on this tutorial too

Its going to be bright at first when you applied skylighting. You need to adjust it by using the ray_controller. Also, did you use the same model and stage while doing the tutorial?

No but you don't have to do this every time if you save a file with Ray-MMD already setup using this tutorial. Next time you need to use Ray-MMD, you'll just open that file and just load the model and stage since you already setup raymmd. It's like having a ready template that you can use again and again

For the MMD version, you need to use the latest version just to be sure it can work well with Ray-MMD since 1.5.2 is it's latest version. If you don't want to setup raymmd again after this, you can just save an MMD file with Ray-MMD already setup then later when you want to use Ray-MMD, you just open that save file that you made.

Your file extractor is corrupting the names when it extracted the zip file because it doesn't support Japanese that's why your model is all white since it doesn't recognized the texture names assigned to it anymore.

You can do it with just using raymmd. You just have to play with the ray_controller until you get the desired result. For example, you don't need to load HgSSAO for ambient occlusion, there's a slider in ray controller for that

ray.x file makes my mmd crash, what can i do?
Try to use a lower version of ray-mmd like 1.5.1 or 1.5.0
Great tutorial, but no matter what I seem to do, the model always loads in white (with shadows). Is there something I'm doing wrong? (This problem begins as soon as a load the model, which appears completely white)
P.S. The background also looks washed out, so it seems to (at least partly) affect all models
When you see model turning white, it usually means that the model can't read its own texture and is usually not related to ray-mmd. This usually happens when you downloaded a model which is in a different language(Chinese or Japanese) then when you extract the file, the file extractor(for example winrar) corrupts the naming of the texture so the model can't recognize the texture anymore. You can try to use a different file extractor that supports that language or you can install in your pc/laptop that language so you can extract it. For example, others use a different file extractor and it works but as for me, I still use winrar but I have japanese language installed on my pc. Hope that helps
Thank you so much! I had no idea what was going on
@@theweebdev Thank you. You're right. When I changed the decompression language to Japanese, the model will no longer be white when it is loaded (the default decompression is Chinese).
Can i have a little help here? I applied main.fx to my model, and it went transparent.
Its etiher:
1. Your model's textures are corrupted because the file extractor that you used don't support Japanese language. Use a different file extractor or install Japanese to your pc
2. Your models name is in Chinese. Change its name to English
3. You can also use main_ex_noalpha.fx instead of main.fx

@@theweebdev 💗💗🫂
and how did u get the intro miku bc i tride every thing to get the pass but idk what the pass is
Its been a long time I forgot how I solved the password. As far as I can remember, there is a document inside the model's folder when you download it and I know a little Japanese so I read the part where the password was stated so I used that as a password to extract the zip file. You can use google translate and paste the words there if you don't know how to read Japanese
but i need the pass to download the files b@@theweebdev
@@jannik_miku_fan I already forgot it but you can try to use google translate. As far as I can remember, you should read the read me links provided by the creator and join his privatter to get the password.
Darn it says “Failed To Reset MikuMikuEffect” and it crashed 😢
Hmm use a different version of raymmd like 1.5.1
