Unlock MMD's Full Potential Using PAToon Shader【Beginner's Tutorial】(+6 Bonus Effects)

[@theweebdev]

Hi everyone, The reason I use PAtoon for the model and PAtoonLite for the stage is not only to show you their difference but also to demonstrate how you can set up the scene so that the stage won't cast shadows on the model. In the mscolorCorrection controller, I mistakenly clicked on Null_03 instead of Null_05 around 06:57. If you feel that the color is too saturated, you can either leave Null_09 in the mscolorCorrection controller as is or set a lower value. The final result will vary depending on the model and stage you use. Don't be afraid to experiment with the controller's values until you achieve your desired result. For newcomers to this channel, if you're interested in a different approach to achieving a toon style, you can check out my Ray-mmd Toon Shader tutorial. The link is in the description of the video, or you can find it on my channel. Lastly, if you've found my tutorials helpful and would like to support my work, consider buying me a coffee on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/theweebdev. Your support helps me create more content like this. Thanks for watching my videos, and see you in the next tutorial!

ahhhh I love toon ! I’m on my personal account so you won’t see it here… but i’m excited to use this tutorial, i’ve been practicing with toon effects a lot lately so i’m really looking forward to seeing how this one will look when I do some of my own test !! :)

thanks a lot,the mmd render instructions are super lack in chinese MMD communitys and a very few of instructions are available in bilibili these days,so its could be a tough things to do the good mmd effcts alone. im very pleased for this video which handle massive japanese barriers thruough using mmd i hope the weeb could upload more useful videos to us,i will be super pleased of that :)

Can you make tutorial for msToonCoordinator effect?

Maybe later. I already have 2 toon shader tutorials and they aren't so different from each other

[@avt1721]

thanks for sharing! this actually looks so good! also, have you tried mstooncordinator? i've been trying to use that effect but keep failing to apply it

[@theweebdev]

I have tried it and I don't like it looking too saturated to one color so I decided not using it. Patoon and Ray-mmd toon is enough for me if I want to have toon like render

[@JulsGeekPI]

Thanks for sharing

[@lemon_juice3963]

Hi your tut is so lovely and positive and so easy to follow ❤ But when I use a certain model or stage to use pa toon it appears there are black annoying spots in the stage or the model I found black spots on my sakura trees And black spots on my yansim uniform model ❤❤❤❤❤

[@theweebdev]

Yeah PAToon has different effect depending on the model/stage you use so I suggest you experiment and use the other fx files inside different folders until you find something suitable for your model

[@fukiruhd]

Thanks for the tutorial as always, in the last effect, it doesn't darken the stage but it lightens it, even though I followed the tutorial well, any ideas?

[@theweebdev]

You mean postrimlighting2d or the part where you use patoon key?

[@fukiruhd]

@@theweebdev yes, i have forgot the name sorry

[@theweebdev]

@@fukiruhd if you mean postrimlighting2d, its effect is for the model to have a slight light on its sides. I think you unchecked the model instead of the stage in mme

[@fukiruhd]

@@theweebdev I'm talking about the PatoonKey at the very end, not about postrimlighting2d, sorry!

[@theweebdev]

Ah I see, if that's the case and it lightens your stage instead, just try other .fx files until you find something that darkens the stage

[@TheHadzir]

Just want to give some advice, next time when in model mode you can just enable track button from view panel at the bottom so everyone can see how the effect change in real time instead keep switching to camera mode, i hope we can see more tutorial from you 👍

[@dylanhowpoo6769]

Hey at 4:15, nothing changed when i changed the value of LtShadeSync to 1 then registering it. Any fix?

[@theweebdev]

Hi, it's hard to know the problem because I haven't encountered it. Did you use the same model used in this tutorial?

[@geneticallygamer]

Can you make a tutorial on how to add glossy/reflection to metal parts of a stage? My stage metal parts look rough like wood

[@MidoriMeansGreen]

Hello! I tried just this tutorial, but the shader does not seem to load on my models, they don´t change in any way, is there a way to fix it?

[@theweebdev]

Let's narrow down the problem by finishing the tutorial first using the model provided before using your own model so you can determine whether you followed the tutorial correctly or it has to do with the model itself

[@maxell-art]

hello, thanks for the tutorial. I love you. can you tell me how to make miku's voice speak and also the narrator's voice speak. Do you use your own voice?

[@theweebdev]

You need to use vocaloid software and use Miku's voice bank to use Miku's voice. As for the narrator's voice, I use eleven labs

[@maxell-art]

@@theweebdev ah so that's how it is, thank you for the informative answer, you are very kind. Continue to be enthusiastic about creating further content. I like you bro

[@YungSteambuns]

I have mme and patoon both the correct version but when I add the effect to the model or stage it doesnt give me an option for either "LS_Shadowmap" shown on your menu

[@theweebdev]

I'm sorry I don't know where LS_Shadowmap is located and I don't remember that I used it in the tutorial. So how does the scene look like? Is it different from what is in the tutorial? Did you use the same model and stage?

[@YungSteambuns]

​​@theweebdev At 3:00 on the mme menu right next to the "main" tab you can see the other two tabs, not sure how to get those or what they're even used for but I sure don't have them *edit* No I wasn't using the same model and stage since I was gonna go straight to making a video with the tutorial 😂

[@theweebdev]

Ah I don't know but its suppose to be automatic once you load the effect. I didn't to anything but load the effect so I don't know how to make those tabs show up if not available

[@YungSteambuns]

@@theweebdev Figured out what the problem was, I had the PAtoon folder inside my mmd folder, not the mmd "effects" folder!

[@PromiseMeStars]

Hello! I'm wondering if it's just the model, but upon loading PAToon and positioning it where you say to, the slider controls don't do anything to the shadows except for on the model's shins?

[@theweebdev]

It was purposely made like that if you read the pinned comment so the stage wont cast shadow to the model. The reason the model is only affected by the controller is because it uses PAToon and the stage is using PAToon lite. In the tutorial, it says PAToon lite is controlled through environment lighting and PAToon is for fake shadows using the controller. If you want the stage to be affected by the controller as well, assign PAToon to the stage as well instead of PAToon Lite

[@PromiseMeStars]

@@theweebdev That's not at all what I was talking about. I follow your steps and after changing ShadeSync to 1 nothing happens on the model. Absolutely nothing changes. But if I zoom out and look it is working, but only on the model's shins. Only the lower half of the legs below the knees are affected by the controller. I can provide a picture of that would help?

[@theweebdev]

@@PromiseMeStars Did you use your own model and stage or the one provided in the tutorial? Are the other sliders from the controller working aside from ShadeSync?

[@PromiseMeStars]

@@theweebdev I used a Star Rail model because I don't care about Sour Miku and I wanted the effect working on all the Star Rail models I have. All of the sliders work but the only part of the model they work on is the legs below the knees. The rest of the model never changes, only the shins.

[@theweebdev]

@@PromiseMeStars hmm let's narrow down the problem. Finish the tutorial first using the Sour Miku model so we can identify whether its the model or you are having problem with the process. If you finish the tutorial without any problem using the sour miku model, then we can conclude that it has to do with the model. If not, then we can further narrow down the problem

[@ai_EV]

I downloaded Patoon 2.98b of the download link, but I don't have a Pathoon controller file, and I don't have more fx files than the files from the lecture. I can't apply the controller, so I have no choice but to apply only the default shader

[@theweebdev]

Probably your file extractor corrupted the files because it doesn't support japanese. You can either change your pc's system locale to japanese then download again or use a different file extractor that supports japanese lke b a n d i z i p

@@theweebdev It misses lots of files. For instance, Patoon only has files fx.1 &2 and the controller is missing.

Hi! what do you think about ikpolishshader? I

[@theweebdev]

IKPolishShader is similar to Raycast, and the setup process is almost the same. It's like setting up Raycast but the names of the FX files and MME tabs are different. That being said, Raycast offers more functionality, which is why I have many tutorials covering its different uses and setups that can't be covered in one video.

@@theweebdev i have raise the working floor above the floor.

Close MMD, change your effects folder location to Desktop or Downloads folder, and start again from scratch

[@sflette]

@@theweebdev thanks for the answer! but nothing changed

[@theweebdev]

​@@sflette ​ if your effects doesn't work. It has something to do with your MMD not reading where your effects is located. You need to find a location in your pc where when you put the effect folders, it can be recognized by mmd. There's also a possibility that when you extracted the effects, files names were corrupted because the file extractor you used doesn't support Japanese. You can either try using a different file extractor like b a n d i z i p or change your pc's system locale to japanese

[@sflette]
