Mesh dolls posing

In wolrd, from my friend, I was asked how do you make dolls posed?
Aha, it’s not easy to set pose by blender.

OK, I ‘ll opne my work for mesh dolls.

I recommend you to use PMX Editor transform view and VMD play.

1) Open pmd/pmx models in PMX Editor.

2) Open “Transform View” in PMX Editor.

3) Load vmd file you like, from [モード] ([mode]) – [VMDリスト] ([vmd list]) – [ファイル] ([File) – [VMD リスト追加] ([Add to VMD List]) – sample is “イージーデンス”

4) Close the abvoe windows and play motion by check [M] and play [▶] botton. If motion is no played, double click motion name in VMD list window. You can see a model is dancing in Transform windows.

5) If you would like to save the posing, you should STOP playing motion!

6) Go to “Transform View” [File] and click [現在の変形状態でモデル形状を更新-頂点モーフ正規化]。

7) Click OK [Vertex Morfing re-calcurated …] (頂点モーフ再計算閾値) maybe 0.00001

8) PMX view would be updated to same posing in transform view.

9) Save the file as another name.

10) Open the file in Blender by pmd/pmx import tool.

11) If you don’t like physical setting, adjust it in PMX editor.

That’s all

Enjoy!

makehuman has seconlife export option

makehuman is designed to make human polygon as free software. It can export mesh object for several formats, includes collada.
If you select collada export, also you can select "Use second_life rig" option.
To export colllada for second life, check the following options.
- Rotate 90X
- Rotate 90Y
- meter
- Use second_life rig

Already rigged and weighted! You don't need adjust by blender, you can upload it as shape model into secondlife directly.

Also this is collada therefore import it into Blender and using PMX exporter, you can make PMX model. (don't forget changing axis-world and PMX bone should be used and weighted.)
