During the last few months, I have been making lots of updates for mmd_tools_helper:

Added 4 new bone maps, now a total of 20 bone maps, for the bones renamer operator.

A new operator "Copy Blender bone names to Japanese bone names".

A new panel and operator to do find-and-replace bones renaming.

The armature diagnostic operator now prints a complete list of bone names, followed by the missing bone names (to the Blender system console).

All 10 of the mmd_tools github wiki tutorials are now included in the download of mmd_tools_helper as pdf files.

An additional 3 text tutorials are included with the download of mmd_tools_helper.

2 .pmx copies of the MMD standard armature are included with the download of mmd_tools_helper, one which can be used for automatic weights rigging in Blender or Metasequoia.

Just a note about an mmd_tools_helper issue:

When adding MMD leg-foot IK to a model converted from other software, you may need to follow these steps:

  1. BEFORE adding MMD leg-foot IK with the "Add leg and foot IK to MMD model" operator of mmd_tools_helper, first export the model from Blender as a .pmx file with mmd_tools.
  2. Then re-import the .pmx model into Blender with mmd_tools.
  3. Then click on mmd_tools_helper's "Add leg and foot IK to MMD model" button.
