Description
Edit (09/08/11):
The file image was too large and DA cut off the bottom. TT^TTIt was suppose to say, "Look! Her eyes change!
If your model's eyes didn't change, then you must've done something wrong. Remember, some models have more than one eye texture, so you'll need to find the "default" one."If you can't read the text, download the image.
I know it's kinda messy and not as neat or cool as other tutorials, but hey. It's helpful.
For the "Find the new eye texture" part, what I mean is, if you're using a Lat model, find an eye texture that has the same/similar shape as the default Lat eye. If you're using an Animasa model/base/head, then find an eye texture that has the same/similar shape as the default Animasa eye textures.
If you didn't understand something, feel free to ask me in the comments or something.

That's not quite correct - any texture can work on any model.
This tutorial simply required you to have the same... shape of eye, per se, so you don't need to have to adjust the eyes to fit manually in PMD Editor.
As for your question, there's two situations I can think of:
1. The texture's UV mapping was reset so the texture doesn't 'fit' the model properly.
2. The texture's file name was changed and so the model can't find it.
If you could further elaborate on the problem you're experiencing, perhaps we can figure out just what exactly is going wrong.

I can't find the eye textures in my model's folder .____.

Hm, that's strange. What model are you trying to edit?
π: 0 β©: 0
when i use the new texture, and try to use it in mmd, the eyes are gone 0.0

Sorry for the late reply! If something like that is happening, it's likely that the new eyes aren't meant for the model, and you need to manually edit them. I'd recommend checking out eitherΒ this tutorial Β orΒ this one.
Another (less likely) possibility is that the model doesn't use eye textures, in which you'll need to apply and then edit the eyes yourself.

how do you add eye textures to a model that doesn't have eye textures?
π: 0 β©: 1
The easiest way would be to add the textures in PMD Editor. This method will not work if the model does not have a preset eye texture.

I downloaded a head and it already has eyebrows but I would like to add eyes I downloaded but I just have trouble doing that. Can u tell me how?
π: 0 β©: 1
If the eyes aren't meant to naturally fit the head, then you'll need to use PMD Editor to manually attach and adjust the eye texture (ie: you'll need to UV map the eye texture).
For UV mapping tutorials, I'd recommend this one or this one.

Oh because people keep making bases without eye textures and it really pisses me off that you can't put eye textures on those model bases.
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand your question. Do you mean, where did I get all the textures? Or how did I take pictures to make this tutorial?
π: 0 β©: 1
I cant make the textures work for my model.
π: 0 β©: 1
Could you be a bit more specific? Do the textures not show up or something?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah...I don't mean to be a bother, but my model always ends up having white eyes..^^' I don't know if it's something I've done wrong, or if it's something else...Do you mind helping me..?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry for the late reply, but have you double-checked the eye textures used? This little tactic doesn't always work with every model and eye texture. For an example, if you use Lat eyes on an Animasa model, the eyes will look all weird and you'll need to UV Map them in PMDE. In your case, it may also be a problem of file naming. If the original eye texture is named a much of jumbled letters and symbols, then you'll either need to:
a) Change your computer's unicode setting to Japanese and re-download the model.
b) Rename the textures using Latin-English characters, then opening the model up in PMDE and re-applying the textures.
Hope this helps!

Ah, I understand! I think I will try it once I get back from vacation, so thank you!
π: 0 β©: 0
Ok...so, how do you figure out which texure if for which model?? Is there a way?
π: 0 β©: 1
Many times, a model's textures will be named after what they're used for. For an example, an eye texture might be named as "me.bmp" or "eye.bmp". You can also guess what the texture is for. Using eyes again, an image file with a single eye is more than likely an eye texture.
Alternatively, you can open the model in PMDE and view what textures are for what parts.

cool and easy i will try it thx you very much it is use full to me

I read this twice and still don't understand D:
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sorry to hear that. :/
Could you explain in detail what it is exactly that you do not understand? What part are you getting lost at?
π: 0 β©: 1
The first part. Like, on my computer, I don't know where to find the textures in the first place. And I wouldn't know what to click on in the actual program.
π: 0 β©: 1
There shouldn't be a need to use any program except for Explorers.exe
Usually, the textures are found in the same location as the .pmd/.pmx model. If not, they're usually in a folder, which is in the same location as the .pmd/.pmx model.

Hiya! Im using the KH texture models and ive been trying to change the eye color and I cant!;-; I trued putting one if the eyes I wanted in the model folder, and put the name of the texture in the texture box but it dudnt work! And when it DIES work, the eye is too big snd I have to resize it but I dont know how!! ;__;
π: 0 β©: 1
You can try resizing the image using an image editing program, such as MS Paint or Paint.NET. This requires some extreme precision however.
Another way is to use PMD Editor and UV map the eye texture.

Okay, thank you! Btw, sorry for all the spelling mistakes XDD

My model's eyes are.. like... lying down... it looks like she's looking at her nose, idk how to change that .-. Help?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's possible that your model has "camera eyes", which is when the eyes are moved back into the head slightly, causing the eyes to seem as if they're always following the "camera".
If that's not the problem, then it's possible that your eye textures don't fit the model, and need to be UV mapped in PMD Editor.

Darn, the one im dealing with, they are all .tga
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm pretty this works with most .tga files.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ehh.. its also in Japanese.. |D When i downloaded a model, she was colorless...
π: 0 β©: 2
Oh! I know how to fix that!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh? Yes i believe i do... I can only hope now i didnt rename any files.. Perhaps you can fix them anyways..? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
What I do is after I download the character, I move the entire folder to my model folder on MMD. That way, all the texture files are included and in your model folder (like whenever you're opening a model) it won't show all the extra files c: Super easy and I just stumbled upon it. If that doesn't work, go to your folder that holds MMD and click UserFile, then model, and move ALL the files to that folder. c: I think the first way is easier though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm? I thought you meant you were good at editing the files for them to work.. XD
The files are all extracted. I can move that folder anywhere and she will remain colorless.
She is rigged, most likely because she was a Win 100% Character (Lily) XDD
I am well with computers, just not at editing models.. XDD But i do thank you for your help..
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. Sorry for the inconvenience. It just works every time I do it. My characters are almost always colorless but if I move the whole folder, (they don't even have to be extracted) then all the files are included so it's all there. Well, I hope you can fix it soon. c:
π: 0 β©: 1
I do thank you for the help.
You see. its like the people purposely renamed the files and then compressed them....
π: 0 β©: 1
ohhh okay. Why would they do that though?
π: 0 β©: 1
Meh.. perhaps to be trolls? Idk.. perhaps just a prank.. XD
But i think i got her through another download thats worked...
π: 0 β©: 1
That's good! ^ u ^
π: 0 β©: 1
I have.. like.. more than 10 gb of MMD (Related things too!) on my Ext. Hard drive.. :3
π: 0 β©: 0
Then it's most likely an extracting error.
Try changing your system locale to Japanese and re-extracting the model. This should fix the texture problem with the model.
π: 0 β©: 1
Its already Japanese locale. Whoever uploaded it looks like they intentionally did this... Theres another way i can find out though.. i can look into the pmd file itself with notepad to see what files its looking for (By having notepad find all .tga files, theres a name for them)
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, that wasn't very nice of them then.
Good luck nonetheless, hope you're able to solve the problem~.
