Description This is kind of nice.  I can turn off physics with drivers too.  So in addition to an all-physics on-off slider, I also turn off ear lobe physics when the earrings get hidden.  Physics and MMD-rig are zero-to-one sliders, rest are on-off switches.

Rig does some weird stuff due to physics dependencies, but works fine so long as you're animating.  The rigids are weighted to bones in the rig and other bones in the rig follow the rigids.  So Blender kind of thinks there's a loop but there really isn't.  Animates fine, but sometimes posing is screwed up.  That's one reason why the physics slider is nice to have.  But can also be used to reduce the influence of physics, if they're too crazy for you.  Having the MMD slider makes it so you can smoothly interpolate between MMD motion and your own motion.

Of course, all the drivers work in rendered view also.

Also did a little bit of mesh hiding.  Not a lot.  And it's not usually necessary at all, but, better safe than sorry.

Biggest remaining problem is that my file is 80 megabytes.  Time to clean it up, shrink the textures, make sure I didn't leave anything embarrassing hidden away with a fake user....

The animation you have there is pretty slick!

So based on your comment above, I need to start learning how to animate with Blender to tinker with her when you release it? I wonder how different it is from MMD.

Not my animation, it's Hibikase.

Blender is nicer to animate with.  By a lot.  It's also slower to render with.  By a lot

Good to know. I have a hard time waiting for things to render. Everything feels like forever when you can't multitask while your PC is busy like that.

Yeah, me too.  Blender eats it all.  Video + all my CPU cores.  But lately I've been able to get small anims rendered while I cook dinner, so there's that.

Day after tomorrow.  I think.  Not that it matters to you, lol, it'll just be a blender release.

Don't know if I'll have time, but might consider trying to make a Teto out of it for MMD for 4/1.
