Tools for MMD / Vroid (might also be here):
Playback:
♡ MikuMikuMoving - allows for lipsyncloid (for creating lip movement motion from audio)
♡ WebRenderer - written by me, supports pmx, vmd, cameramotion, up to two models, animated stages (via vmd) etc.
♡ vrmviewer - a webrenderer for viewing vrm files (vrma motions)
♡ DAN☆SING - Supports mocopi (same dev as DSSc)
♡ (MikuMikuDance - nice.. but probably overshadowed by MikuMikuMoving, has a kinectv2 plugin tho)
Editing:
❤️ PMXEDitor - De-Facto tool for editing and partial modelling. Incredibly useful (EyeWeightpaint)
♡ Vkatsu ModelStudio with terribad pmx export.. BlenderPorterPack
♡ VroidStudio (releases)Changelog - easy to use vrm modelling tool, which exports to prerigged vrm (use version 1.26 with VroidXYTool)

❤️ PMX2VRM Converts pmx2vrm ? (You can reassign the blendkeys to blendshapes via BlendshapeClipEditor) alt (rq unity 2022)

Turns out moving
3000_N00_000_00_FaceEyeline_00_FACE (Instance)
4000_N00_000_00_FaceBrow_00_FACE (Instance)
to the TOP of the list will fix /most/ issues.

VRMTools: * VRMTextureReplacer * VRMSizing * BlendshapeClipEditor
ModelRip / Conversion (F.e. from resources suchas XPSModels, Open3DLab, models-esource, P3DM, VktsuCards)
❤️ Noesis - my defacto preferred method for converting models. Can even handle NieRAutomatas format and carry to fbx (with texures), has pmx export plugin ! -(Use -flipax 2 at export to flip your pmx2fbx conversions)
♡ Vrm ONE Editor an editing tool that allows you to connect any 3D object to a specific part of the VRM body and link the movement.
♡ Blender - useful tool. (Use Blender 3.6 for pmx ex/import and vrm handling. Use 2.9 lts for CATS plugin [Rig via VRM for Blender]
❤️ CATS Blender Plugin - Allows to export pmx to fbx WITH Blendshapes INTACT (Requires Blender 2.93) [CATS for Blender 3.6 (up to 4.2)]Demo
♡ Unity - (The best unity vrm2pmx editor is denoms edit - which only fails at twirl motion) use version 2020.3.0 2019.4.31f1 , (PMXExport&Dependencies DLD) ohand) Open Unity Project immediatly
@echo off
