MMD to Skyrim Conversion

[SumGhai]

As a joke among a few friends, I've been attempting to convert a model from the MikuMikuDance (MMD) 3d animation software and port the model into Skyrim for use. However, I'm running into difficulties regarding the mesh and skeletons; namely the lack of a default Half-T Pose that most other games default the skeleton to. Here's what I mean

 

 

The cape probably won't make it into the final build. Anyways, if I could just figure out how to position Skyrim's skeleton into this Half-T pose, I could probably weight everything properly and have it ready for the game engine.

 

The reason why I say to move Skyrim's skeleton is because the skeleton imported from MMD is rather broken and unusable for moving the mesh around. I did manage to get the mesh into 3ds with the help of a script, but that's just about it. So, if anyone can provide a resource of a skeleton in the half-T pose, I'd appreciate it.

 

If no such skeleton exists, then another method I was considering was weighting the mesh to an Oblivion skeleton, then, by using a previous resource from Person12345678 where the Oblivion skeleton is positioned in the Skyrom default pose, transfer weights to a Skyrim skeleton; a bit roundabout but I'd assume still effective.

 

So, does anyone have any suggestions?

If you've got PMD or PMX editor, it's possible to go in Transform View, pose the model into the T-pose, then save it as a PMD/PMX (Transform View window, first menu (F), first button (S)) . That way you can import it to Max and use Skyrim's skeleton.
