Welp, I basically spent all yesterday evening on this XD''
After seeing my girlfriend's mmd yesterday, I was inspired to make my own again, but the problem was that I didn't know what I wanted to do with it aT ALL basically XD'' I first knew that I wanted to use this stage, and I wanted to try out more stuff with Raycast, but from there, it went a bit all over the place XD'' I wanted to originally use a character from Konohana Kitan as a model here, but I couldn't find a dl to the motion that I wanted, and as such, I began a search for Literally whatever I think looks nice XD I found this motion/song when looking around for a stage with a pond, bc I figured that would fit the character I had in mind better, but the stage that I Did find, was taking much too long to download. And so, I decided to stick with this stage for now and use this motion if I can't get the other one. Looking back at it now, maybe my original idea fit the lyrics of the song better XD'' I only took a look at the English translation for the lyrics today, so yeah ^^''
Anyways, I went through a whole Process with setting up raycast, and it was tiring and time consuming XD'' But, the result was worth it! ^^
And after setting up the lighting of the stage, I hit a problem once again. The model for the character wasn't working/looking the way I wanted it to, and so, I decided to change it to another character. After some thinking, I decided that maybe Yuu could fit better with a classroom setting ^^''
After also setting up the lighting for his model, adding in the motion, camera and whatnot, I decided to fix up the camera so there are no unwanted stage lines showing. Meaning I just fixed up the camera in general so it doesn't seem like it's flying too far back, or away from the stage ^^''
From there I also decided that, heck, since I'm already this committed, I could even edit this in AE afterwards, which iiis what I ended up doing ^^
Basically my goal when adding the effects in MMD was to make everything look as natural as I currently can, and, I think that worked! ^^
Really happy with how the ray effect also gave me a shadow on the right of Yuu's model there ^^
And welp, it didn't take too too long to render in MMD, but oh deary, problems arose with AE XD'' I had to convert this with Handbrake twice, basically. Once for AE, and once more after rendering in AE. I had problems with the video flickering when it shouldn't in the program, and it took me some fiddling around to fix it ^^''
Afterwards, I decided to leave my laptop on for the night to render. It showed that er, nearly 4 hours were left to render, by the time I headed off to bed? But get this, I couldn't fall asleep, and it was terrible XD'' I happened to roll around and stay awake until it said that 27 or so minutes were left, but afterwards I definitely blacked out XD"'
Anyways, after converting it with Handbrake again this morning, this is now done, finally, and I'm very happy with the result ^^
I really hope that y'all like this as well! :3
