How to covert a Source model to an MMD model (PMX) [CC]

It works all of the time for me. If it is hard to hear me, you can turn on subtitles with the CC button.

Check down the description for updates toward the video.

*You can use the script to generate base bones and IK bones for your model instead. *At 4 42 - He did all of the work. *At 5 42 - As of 2020/09/13, there is an update to the script that would automatically move all the "green" bones at the bottom to the top so the instructions to move all those bones to the top have been removed. *The fork has been improved and merged with Nuthouse01's repository, you can download the script there instead and ignore all the hassles of moving bones (which is removed from the video) and linking bones. I keep the video just like this since the latest update on my own repo works exactly how the video shows.

• At 6 54 - The bone placement is also a problem, you can refer to MMD's default models and move your bone around at relative locations on your model.
• At 7 30 - Same for the above update, those bones are supposed to be at the top, not the bottom anymore
