MMD White Model Glitch - Why It Happens and How to Fix It

[@TheToastEditz]

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I SPENT MORE THAN 5 HOURS IN A ROW TO TRY AND FIGURE THIS OUT! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GRATEUFL I AM!!! IM SO HAPPY!!!

[@NaughtyWeiss]

Just wanted to say thanks. I had the first scenario issue. So moving the texture files to The same folder as my model file fixed it for me. So thank you.

[@zeeya...]

bro i was doubting myself during this video so much because i didnt think it would work but it did and im so happy!!! thank you

How do you stop dark skinned vroid models that converted for mmd from becoming lighter skidded when loaded

[@niadomi8250]

If all the files are in the right place, it might be an issue with language. You can get glitches if you extract Japanese files on a non-Japanese computer. File names get scrambled and the computer can't find them. Another potential issue is that mmd can struggle with absolute directories. So if your file path looks like C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\ModelFolder\tex.jpg, you may still get issues in mmd even if it's fine in the editor. Make the directory relative (starting from inside the model folder) instead of absolute

[@dunsparmy]

It's still not working for me; but the thing that's weird is it's only one texture not showing up. everything else is fine; I have this black sunglasses rim that looks good in PMX, but when I open it in MMD, it becomes white. It looks like the toon and sph stay though..

[@niadomi8250]

@@dunsparmy Sometimes toon and spa files don't play nice with mmd/certain effects. Try deleting them, save a new copy of the glasses, and see if the colour will work then

bruh i give up my files are in the right place, and i've been trying for like 2 hours but it won't work

[@niadomi8250]

Have you checked the directory path is looking for them in the right place? Under the materials tab

[@tiantian5693]

@@niadomi8250 no, I'll try it It works with normal models but usako models always start out white :(

[@niadomi8250]

@@tiantian5693 if it's the same kind of models that have the problems, it might have to do with how they're made. But yeah, checking the directory path is the way to go first, especially if you're moving files (when I moved my files to a different hard drive, nothing would work until I changed the C:\ to F:\, for example. Check all the little things like that) Also check it's not looking for the files in the wrong folder (if your path is something like C:\MMD\Model_name\file_name, but it's looking for them in Model_name\tex\file_name, it won't work)

[@lululuvscats]

I have a slightly different version of this glitch... I loaded a model in and all the textures looked perfect, but then I attached an effect to the model and it TURNED white. I can't figure out how to reverse it, and I can't find any tutorials on how to fix this. Any ideas?

[@niadomi8250]

What was the effect? Some of them require you to load in different components for them to work properly

[@lululuvscats]

@@niadomi8250 Actually, I think I fixed it. I just reloaded the model and applied the same motion and effect, so it works now :)

[@niadomi8250]

@@lululuvscats Ah, all good, I'm glad it's working!

[@THEGAMERSLOUNGE]

Sometimes this happens if the PC can't handle or use the effect due to hardware/other reasons

[@hxney._]

hi do you know why my model is showing up slightly transparent? i can see it but i can see through it and all of the layers :// help-

[@Aoi-mw6sb]

What if, for example, you've just downloaded and extracted a model but the textures are missing in the file (Japanese) you extracted? Whenever I download some particular mmd models, there's no texture in the file. The only texture in the file are other facial expression, no skin texture, just that. I'm having this issue with some hololive mmd models (official mmd)

[@Savvy_Gabby]

I have a question, I have a different issue but it's a glitch. One of my models when dancing, he has a leather coat on and the zipper and pockets become stretched and pointy while dancing? How do you fix this and what could cause this?

[@witchwife7188]

I have the same glitch but it happened with my selfmade pmx model. And I don´t know what to do cause all I have from my Selfmade model is the pmx file ..

[@vivinmyheart]

same thing for me.

[@trollsome]

When i downloaded the miku dress model from www.deviantart.com/elpodervocaloid/art/MMD-Miku-Blue-Dress-DL-398284732 the eyes and dress textures are white and they are literately in the right place, and the texture names are also still in the model in pmx editor, but i even tried re adding them to the model but they don't want to register.

[@lintea_]

LITERALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!! THE WHITE MODELS WERE TOREMENTING ME SO MUCH, TAKE MY LIKE!

[@kingbyrd.1512]

Thank you so much for the help! I tried to fix this on my own but all the guides had versions of MMD that are so old, that i can't use them for help. So again, thank you.

[@chuncookie]

same issue here.. ive already tried 3 different zippy readers but da model is still in white form

[@MC_Cynator]

my model will load with shading but just no color

[@niadomi8250]

Are all the files in the right place? Either in the same folder as the model, or in a folder that matches the directory path in pmx editor?

[@lthefifteenth661]

A model I downloaded online has the skin texture set as cf_m_body and the skin texture still won't load... They're in the same folder in MMD's Model folder, and I typed out the texture name correctly (it was the same) I also clicked on that little cyan-coloured box to see if I could load from the file selection. Still nothing... Any advice?

[@Lou-po4tv]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! i fix my models!!!!!!!!!! thx soooooo mucchhhh am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx thx thx !!!!!!!!!

[@LPSfanatic]

So my model files are in the right place. It looks amazing in pmx but she turns white in mmd, all except her hair 😂 I tried moving everything and changing the name in different folders and just in the model folder yet nothing works 😭

[@hannahxvan]

omg did you ever find a fix for this? I'm struggling so much right now, I have the same issue D:

[@LPSfanatic]

@@hannahxvan I don’t think I did. I would even put all the materials in the big folder in hopes that the program would see it and her hair would show up. I have no idea what went wrong. 😞

What if youre in PMX and the model is there but completely invisible?

how about if the model is fully textured in PMX but no texture shows up in MMD?

How do you fix it if you’re using macbook?

[@tobeflyhigh6755]

hey so i have the same white model glitch. I looked into the folder model folder in userfile; and there is a folder for the model i want, which has two folders: .pmx, and texture. So the files in the texture folder have .png files. Also, when i look at the texture file through mmd it shows that its empty. I need help with it

[@ShukitaShipper05]

my pmx model and its textures are in the same folder and my model is still white

[@Ralph-rr9kv]

my model is still white and the folder i extracted from the zip has no picture file it has only an .tga file. How do i fix this?

[@niadomi8250]

MMD should be able to read .tga files. Do you have pmx editor? Open the model and have a look at the texture path directory. It may not be set correctly

[@katelin_cat1601]

none of these work for me.could it be cuz of a windows 11?

[@vivinmyheart]

i made a model myself and its white and has no picture files

[@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313]

So I'm unsure about what's wrong with some of the models I've got. It's two Neptunia Models, 5pb and her guitar. I'm trying to make it to where the Neptunia models react to the lighting without staying bright by using the PMX model editor. Every single one of the neptunia models that I got from a neptuina model pack stay bright and I want to fix that starting with 5pb because she was at the top of the model list for the pack. The model itself loads but the textures aren't loaded and I don't know why. I checked the other models and they loaded just fine in the editor, not a single error in the model's textures at all. But 5pb and her guitar become the void itself with the faint outline of the models being the only indication that they're there. So some help would be appreciated.

[@niadomi8250]

Is there anything different about the 5pb model and the models that work? For example, does 5pb have different spa/toons, a different directory structure, different material file formats, etc. Start by comparing a working model to the problem one, and see if you can narrow down what the issue with the 5pb model is

[@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313]

@@niadomi8250 False alarm, it seems my brain went full hurp a durp when opening the models in the editor. It seems the program itself caused the issue, I just opened the models in the editor (as in I opened it up while writing this) and they loaded just fine. Not sure why it happened before I made the comment. Had a different glitch happen with a Neptunia model, this time its Neptune herself. The legs' textures weren't loaded completely upon load it in MMD the first time during that time the legs weren't attached to the rest of the body, but the second time I load the model the legs were completely fine. Not sure why I have stuff like that happen, sorry for the inconvenience.

THANK YOU!!!! SO MUCH!!! u help me fix the invisible glitch with such ease!

[@Archer_Starling]

So quick question, would this be the same if the textures are stored as a .tga file? (the texture folder I have for a face only has a face.tga file)

[@niadomi8250]

Yup, it would be the same. You'd just have to make sure the .tga is in the right folder for the model to find it

[@kanasuminatsumich.]

thx so much it worked thank you

[@sen07777]

thank you so much!!

[@prettylejindary_7]

my problem is all the models I have downloaded have the same name for example in textures they both have a file called 'face' or 'clothes' I have tried adding something on the end like the name of the character, but they still came out white. I can only use one model at a time, I am new to MMD by the way so sorry if I ask too many questions :)

[@niadomi8250]

Have you checked the directory path of the file? For example, does it say tex\filename.jpg or something? And does this line up with where the texture file is saved?

[@TheCapriciousG1rl-_-]

this kinda happened but ONLY when i imported it to mmd

hey, i have the white model glitch except it doesn't happen after putting in my model, it happens after loading in motion to my model. any help?

[@momoch.3455]

I tried all of the stuff in the video and it still didn't work ;; for one of my models, only some of the textures are showing up, and for the other, none are. Both have the same folder set up, and both have texture and file names in english, I don't know what to do ;; I did get these files from a japanese website originally but I have the Japanese pack installed on my computer so I don't know what could be wrong. I also triple checked to make sure that the texture files were there but nothing was out of the ordinary. PLS HELP!!!! ToT

[@niadomi8250]

Are the file names in the materials tab correct? For example, if you've got a file called face.jpg, but the model is looking for face.png, it won't work even if it's in the right folder. Change the filename in the material tab to .jpg and it will in this case Or, if it's looking for the materials in a /tex folder, but you've got them in the main folder (or vice versa), it won't work either. For the model where some of the textures are working, compare the filenames on the materials tab for the bits that are working vs the bits that aren't and see if there's a common denominator (e.g. /tex ones are working but not others, file extensions mismatches, etc)
