What is a VMD file in MikuMikuDance 7.39? How do I use VPD files? Can I swap VPD files with VMD files in MMD 7.39?
MMD takes advantage of all sorts of data types. Many are for showing visual items; others for poses and motions; and only one for music (.wav).![Metasequoia Mmd Metasequoia Mmd](https://img00.deviantart.net/62aa/i/2016/182/a/6/_metasequoia_mmd__armor_adjustment_01_by_namae_no_nai_uta-da8dqtn.png)

MMD takes advantage of all sorts of data types ..
A little story, I had recently downloaded an effect called the Sakura Petals Effect- Metasequoia 4 search, excluding those result better results. 7 make sure spelling correct, might also want try searching without including version number. 0a macOS 74 if still arent able what looking sponsored files above. 5 MB Languages: English, 日本語 Three-dimensional model design, especially the creation of human or animal-like characters, requires some knowledge in this area.

MMD takes advantage of all sorts of data types. Many are for showing visual items; others for poses and motions; and only one for music (.wav).
Specific to our use in MMD:
.vmd - means Vocaloid Motion Data. A motion sequence for a particular set of moves, actions, facial movements, are saved as vmd's. These would be filed in your MOTION Folder.
![Metasequoia Mmd Metasequoia Mmd](https://img00.deviantart.net/62aa/i/2016/182/a/6/_metasequoia_mmd__armor_adjustment_01_by_namae_no_nai_uta-da8dqtn.png)
.vpd - Vocaloid Pose Data- data for a vertical column of registered position diamonds in MMD .. a single frame .. is saved as .vpd file. ex.:Reggie’s Collection of Hand Poses found in “Downloads” section. These would be filed in your POSE Folder.
.pmd and .pmx - are the Polygon Models of our dancers in MMD. These would be filed in your MODELS Folder. (Some of you old-time graphic artists may recognize a PMD file as a product of Adobe Pagemaker. That's a different animal, altogether.)
.pmm - in MikuMikuDance is a saved 'dance' file .. linking all elements of your dance .. wav, motions, models, lights, camera, sets, accessories, and etc., into a single location.
.x - is a file extension used for DirectX models, mostly associated with inanimate objects such as stages and props .. but occasionally you may find a model made with .x extension. These would be filed in your ACCESSORY Folder. (PMD Editor let's you add bones to a .x model.)
.xf - used for effects in MME. It is essentially a .x file linked with coding to a .x model to allow the effect to be used. These would be filed in your EFFECTS Folder along with their associated .x models. (There IS NO Effects Folder until you create one. I made my Effects Folder inside of my Accessory Folder so MMD can find it when I use the Accessory Panel to Load an effect.)
.vsq - Vocaloid Sequence motion data used mostly for lip synching. (MMD has a routine allowing this file type to program the lip-flapping motions, but I have never seen such a file in use.)
Specific to images, graphics, and texture/colors within .x and .pmd models:
.bmp - Bit Map Image utilized for clothing, backgrounds, textures and accessories. BMP is an old 8-bit color system using indexed colors .. 'loss-less' in that no data compression is used .. large file sizes .. limited to 256 colors in a document.
.jpg - JPEG images, RGB color for our use, yield smaller file sizes using data compression techniques that trade some image loss for smaller file sizes.
.png Artboard 2 2 4 mm. - Portable Network Graphics, a 'loss-less' file compression technique that compresses for small file size yet 'decompresses' to yield an image without data loss.
.gif - An early form of a loss-less data compression format using 'indexed colors' allowing only a maximum of 256 colors per image. (The 'Loss' happens when you convert your RGB image into 'indexed color mode' before you save it as a GIF ':o). File sizes can compress to be quite small as you limit the number of allowable colors.
.psd - Adobe Photoshop Document. The proprietary Photoshop file format.
.tif - Image file format using no data compression; resulting in huge file sizes. Your RGB image is saved pixel-by-pixel for a loss-less image file. Often used by 'fine-art' digital graphic artists and photographers.
Some other file types you may see ..
.vac stands for Vocaloid Accessory File (.vaf is used by Microsoft for their Vanilyzer project- in case you were wondering) allows you to link accessories like Neko Ears to a specific part of the model, in this case the head.
.tga refers to Targa Graphic Assist in color and texture rendering models and stages.
.dds Direct Draw Surface used in DirectX 3D modeling.
.sph Vocaloid Sphere Mapping file usually associated with .bmp mostly to add a shiny texture to clothes and hair.
.mqo Images and textures created using a program called Metasequoia. It is very similar to Blender and Gimp.
Side note: I have never downloaded a model that had turned white when it was opened. I also don’t have my laptop recognizing Japanese. So I’m working on the theory that the folders in MMD are type specific (at least in Windows 7). I could be wrong; however I did find a solution that works for me. I’m perfectly willing to accept any MMD problem could just as well be attributed to a miss-connection or short between the head sets. Please let me know your experiences. (Redirected from Metasquoia)

Metasequoia, or dawn redwoods, is a genus of fast-growing deciduous trees, one of three species of conifers known as redwoods. The living species Metasequoia glyptostroboides is native to Lichuan county in Hubei province, China. Although the shortest of the redwoods, it grows to at least 165 feet (50 meters) in height. Local villagers refer to the original tree from which most others derive as Shui-shan (水杉), or 'water fir', which is part of a local shrine. Since its rediscovery in 1944, the dawn redwood has become a popular ornamental, with examples found in various parks in a variety of countries.
Together with Sequoia sempervirens (coast redwood) and Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia) of California, Metasequoia is classified in the Cupressaceae subfamily Sequoioideae. M. glyptostroboides is the only living species in its genus, but three fossil species are known. Sequoioideae and several other genera have been transferred from the former family Taxodiaceae to Cupressaceae based on DNA analysis.[1]
Paleontology[edit]
Metasequoia redwood fossils are known from many areas in the Northern Hemisphere; more than 20 fossil species have been named (some were even identified as the genus Sequoia), but are considered as just three species, M. foxii, M. milleri, and M. occidentalis.[2] Fossils are known from the Cenomanian onwards. During the Paleocene and Eocene, extensive forests of Metasequoia occurred as far north as Strathcona Fiord on Ellesmere Island and sites on Axel Heiberg Island (northern Canada) at around 80° N latitude.[3]Metasequoia was likely deciduous by this time. Given that the high latitudes in this period were warm and tropical, it is hypothesized that the deciduous trait evolved in response to the unusual light availability patterns, not to major seasonal variations in temperature.[4] During three months in the summer, the sun would shine continuously, while three months of the winter would be complete darkness. It is also hypothesized that the change from evergreen to deciduous trait occurred before colonizing the high latitudes and was the reason Metasequoia was dominant in the north.[5]
Large petrified trunks and stumps of the extinct Metasequoia occidentalis (sometimes identified as Sequoia occidentalis) also make up the major portion of Tertiary fossil plant material in the badlands of western North Dakota.
The trees are well known from late Cretaceous to Miocene strata, but no fossils are known after that. Before its discovery, the taxon was believed to have become extinct during the Miocene; when it was discovered extant, it was heralded as a 'living fossil'.
Appearance[edit]
Metasequoia 4 Mmd
Dawn redwood foliage - note opposite arrangement
The bark and foliage are similar to Sequoia, but Metasequoia is deciduous like Taxodium distichum (bald cypress), and, similarly, older specimens form wide buttresses on the lower trunk. It is a fast-growing tree to 130–150 feet (40–45 m) tall and 6 feet (2 m) in trunk diameter in cultivation so far (with the potential to grow even higher).
The leaves are opposite, 0.4-1.25 inches (1–3 cm) long, and bright fresh green, turning foxy red-brown in fall. The pollen cones are 0.25 inch (6 mm) long, produced on long spikes in early spring; they are only produced on trees growing in regions with hot summers. The cones are globose to ovoid, 0.6-1.0 inches (1.5-2.5 cm) in diameter with 16–28 scales, arranged in opposite pairs in four rows, each pair at right angles to the adjacent pair; they mature in about 8–9 months after pollination.
Metasequoia has experienced morphological stasis for the past 65 million years: the modern Metasequoia glyptostroboides appears identical to its late Cretaceous ancestors.[6]
History[edit]
Eocene (Ypresian) age M. occidentalis branchlet
The fossil of this genus was discovered by Shigeru Miki in 1939. In 1941, Miki published the description of the fossil plant which he gave the name 'Metasequoia'. In the winter of the same year, a Chinese botanist Toh Gan (干铎) discovered an unusual big tree in Modaoxi (磨刀溪; presently, Moudao (谋道), in Lichuan County, Hubei[7]). The locals called this tree shui-sha (水桫). Because it was winter, the tree already lost all its leaves, so no specimens were collected by Mr. Gan. In 1942, another botanist, Mr. Zhan Wang (王战)visited Modaoxi and collected living specimens. Mr. Wang believed this tree belonged to an known species Glyptostrobus pensilis (水松) and filed the specimens away. In 1945, Mr. Wang showed the specimen to botanist Wan-Chun Cheng (郑万钧). Mr. Cheng determined that the tree did not belong to Glyptostrobus pensilis, but was a new species. Mr. Cheng then sent specimen to prominent botanist H.H.Hu, the director of Fan Memorial Institute of Biology. Hu, despite the chaos of war between China and Japan, was still keeping track of international botanic literature. Hu recognized the living specimen was of the same genus of Miki's fossil genus 'Metasequoia'. After more study, Hu and Cheng published the new species Metasequoia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng) in May 1948 in the Bulletin of Fan Memorial Institute of Biology. The discovery of 'living fossil' instantly attracted attention from botanist around the world. It was widely regarded as 'the greatest discovery of botany in 20th century'. In 1948, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, through the help of Hu and Cheng, funded an expedition by Chinese collectors to collect seeds. Soon after, seeds were distributed to various universities and arboreta worldwide for growth trials.
Presently, a number of natural Metasequoia populations exist in the hills and wetlands of Hubei's Lichuan County. Most of them are small, with fewer than 30 trees each; however, the largest of them, in Xiaohe Valley, is estimated to consist of around 5,400 trees.[7] A few trees are also said to exist in neighboring Hunan Province.[7]
Metasequoia in gardens, parks and streets[edit]
Metasequoia Mmd Tutorial
Dawn redwoods are fast-growing trees. They sometimes grow too large in smaller gardens under favorable conditions, but they can be a good choice for a wide range of larger gardens and parks. Although they live in wet sites in their native habitat they will also tolerate dry soils.[8] Unlike most conifers, their deciduous habit means they do not cast too much shade in winter. They are grown as street trees in London and elsewhere.
Strawberry Fields is a landscaped section in New York City's Central Park dedicated to Beatle John Lennon. At the northern end of the lawns are three dawn redwood trees. The trees drop their needles each fall and regrow them each spring, a symbol of eternal renewal. The trees are expected to reach a height of 36 meters (118 ft), making them visible from great distances.[citation needed]
