The 3D Hub!

If you want to create 3D models, here are a few helpful applications:

Blender
Metasequoia
VRoid Studio
Wings 3D
Xismo

Some really cool plugins for Blender:

blender_mmd_tools, meshIO and exp_pmx
AnimeHair
Add Symmetrical Empty (with a milder theme for Blender) <-- It's GNU GPL, that means that I can mirror it
Orphan Cleanup
Copy Custom Properties <-- Essential if you want to use meshIO
Force Modifiers

Did you know that mqdl has his own 3D application called Xismo?
The latest version has an improved UV editor, Meta4 import capabilities and a nifty hair modifier.
Here's a quick testrun:

(Don't let the image mislead you, I'm Linux-only for more than four years)
EDIT: I forgot something. This needs MSVC2013 under Windows.

FIRST ENGLISH XISMO TUTORIAL!

Sorry for not posting it earlier.

sorry to bump an old thread, but might be worth checking out:

VRoid Studio, developed by Pixiv, is in its early stages but allows for easy modeling. Features include intuitive hair editing, simple texture editing. It comes with a base female model which can then be exported. (I think I've seen some VRoid models imported into VRChat and MMD.) Also available in English! Male model is in the works:

For some reason, VRoid does not work on Wine.
Also, Xismo 2 is in the works. It's still in beta thus some functions don't work as smooth as expected. It features a full 3D view and support for OpenGL 4.0. It used to have a PMX import function but it's missing from Beta 2 (maybe because I reported an issue with bones).
Another bummer is that it has a time limit. I recommend using 199b for general production instead.
Somebody please move this to 3D and MikuMikuDance.

For some reason, VRoid does not work on Wine.

Works in Linux using Steam Proton:

I could make VRoid work on Linux back in 2019, but problem is that it's really CPU-heavy.
XISMO2 is at version 2.25a as of writing. There's no PMX import functionality as the creator eventually decided against it. Also, the plugin list is in a dire need of an update as plugins written for previous versions may not work in 2.8x.

Added VRoid and the UuuNyaa fork of blender_mmd_tools. I previously excluded blender_mmd_tools as I regarded it as garbage but I nevertheless switched to it later as it turned out to be really decent with powroupi's fork on which UuuNyaa's fork is based.
