MMD-NoDrama

Hello, I am roco. Do you understand the reason why I set Japanese password? It came from my fear that unexpected happenings can occur in oversea communities unlike in Japan. For example, in oversea communities, my models can be edited to zombies, killed, and redistributed. Needless to say, each of above-mentioned behavior is enough to my anger. Still now, I cannot see an improvement of this situation, even though NononoP kindly conveyed my message to you. http://nononop.deviantart.com/journal/the-message-from-roco-319791387 I set Japanese password, but I do not intend at all to discriminate against non-Japanese users. Just fear! I kno

This has been weighing on my mind for a little while. I see time and time again, people (non MMDers obviously) who bash others who use MMD saying that it is not art and it is "illegal" because it uses someone else's work. First I would like to address the incorrect notion that it is illegal: The modelers give the users permission to use their model by making it available for public download. Therefore, it is indeed legal as long as credit is given where credit is due and the terms and conditions of usage are being properly followed. Secondly, MMD (MikuMikuDance for those of you who aren't familiar with the term, is a 3D posing and renderi

I think that the translation of models' rules is very important but it is quite difficult. If someone asks me to translate other modeler's rules to English, I will refuse... My English is too poor to take a responsibility for translation. lol Especially, mistranslation of rules is a very big problem. If I translate a Japanese readme to English, some people will misunderstand that my translation is perfectly correct. The good example is "No yaoi" rules. (Just an example, I do not intend to blame anyone.) Many people in dA did not know about "No yaoi" rules. There are three different types of problems in this drama. At first, in some c

Lately there's been confusion over the readme notes on models that come with both an English & Japanese version having different rules/conditions in them. You're probably thinking it's not fair that the Japanese version has more freedom with editing models than the English one. Then there's this assumption that Japanese modellers are racist. This is not the case. It is merely a misunderstanding and I'll explain it here. When overseas users break the MMD rules it's hard for the Japanese modellers to handle it because there is a language barrier. It's very difficult for a modeller to talk to the culprit when they both come from a different cu

I'm writing this to help make a small list of free models that are often put up for trade as though they are something limited (Montecore Luka being a top contender), which in the end scams people. I'm also putting up their links, because I think that's half the problem: too many people don't want to post their original links when they claim they have found these models ("I took the time to find it, so go find it yourself!"), which drives most users into trading for them. These models are on Japanese web pages, which intimidates most users or keeps them from finding them. Many game ripped models shouldn't be traded for either, because almost
