I find that Raycast is a complicated effect with “more than one way to skin a cat”… so these are the steps I go through to invoke Raycast: Basic instructions in the most simplistic form: I used to run it on an older standard 32-bit XP machine, and I did see some of the photographic rendering of my models, but I could not control and had no access to the many tools that a Win 10 64-bit machine will allow you. To use Ray-MMD, you should be running a 64-bit Windows 10 PC. Raycast / Ray-MMD is a complicated system that requires your trained, practiced adjustment of the many settings and tools. – You cannot just load it to see the effect it does not work that way. Raycast is a full, global environment control system for MMD involving image rendering with total control of textures, light and shadow. – Raycast is NOT an effect, at least not “just” an effect… It is not “just” a “shader”.

Raycast / Ray-MMD doesn’t work like any effect you have ever tried, before. See! It changes a lot! now do the same for the other materials, always reminding that you can combine a lot of effects.We have been getting MANY Comments from our readers about how to use Raycast and then, “Why doesn’t Raycast work?” since I’m going for skin, I will be using ones within the skin folder. Inside these folders there will be a lot of materials. then you double click them, this will appear: Now, click the part you want, I will be going with the skin parts. Go to mme pannel>materialMap, click your model, then “subset extract (the E option)” so you will be able to separate your model by parts. It should be located at the skybox folder you chose. Go to your mme pannel>EnvLightMap, select your raycast skybox then load “Timeoflightning.fx”. after that, go to your raycast folder>main>main.fx and add it to your model. Model posed, light set, camera set, now for the effect!įirst, you must load the controller (ray_controller.pmx) and the skybox you’d like. I will be using cameo miku, a model made by ! You can also download the extensions! I always download lightbloom and colorgrading because both are really good even without raycast at all! Hey friends! I’m Kaworu and welcome to this raycast tutorial in which I hope it might help somehow :’ DDĭo not forget to click on read more, by the way! This is a long post!įirst of all, you must obviously download the effect.
