MMD Stages

Stages (ステージ) are 3D backgrounds used as a setting or mood in MMD videos. They come in either PMD format or DirectX (.x) file. More often than not, stages in PMD format will have parts (ie; furniture, boxes) that can be manipulated through bones. Recently, with the addition of PMX upgrades, stages now have real-time sliders that can change the appearance without having to resort to a variant model or accessory.
