>>2841367>1. No. IKs were already a feature before 2012, considering the Bad Apple motion uses them. As for arm IKs, most models lack them, but you can add them easily with a plugin.Hang on do you mean Bad Apple as in the black & white original, or later recreations?
I always suspected that the original was made in MMD, but the silhouettes of the models used don't resemble anything that existed during that time.
>2. MMD. I heavily recommend MikuMikuMoving, however, even if its different rendering approach makes some MME effects incompatible with it without rewriting. Refer to links in >>2839366 and >>2840055 to learn some more. So MMM is MMD with a different layout and newer features? Unfortunately I need to use VFX for some videos... Any major differences besides this?
Speaking of VFX, wasn't there something against using models with blood or gore effects? I'm not making guro, but might be using blood effects.
Also thanks for the links!
>3. No, but it's advisable and good karma.Alright, just making sure
>4. Yes.Damn that sucks.
