Sometimes I'm astounded at how...old many of the commonly used assets are. Nigamon's Alice just turned 10 freaking years old this year although it's held up rather well in looks compared to say, Montecore's models which truly look dated. Many other stuff like stages are from the early 10's, it's fun to imagine Meiling standing guard outside that old ass SDM stage with not a bit of shade from the sun or a place to sit, just standing outside a bare wall and gate all day.

One would think that with MMD being so popular as a newbie friendly and indie 3D movie maker, there'd be a lot of more people making assets for public use, or perhaps it's MMD that's the problem?
Sure makes one wonder if the community will ever upgrade to much more modern and potent engines so they can make something a lot bigger in scale and realistic looking at least for the environment. The lighting too, Ray MMD is great but can only do so much and I don't think it's as popular as it should be,

You guys reckon this is as good as it gets on the technical side and that's how it'll be even into 203X? Ah, to dream of being a 3D artist and crank out some seriously ambitious and modernized assets, giving the whole scene an overhaul, perhaps even on a new engine. Bout time we took advantage of modern graphics and processing capabilities...now excuse me while I go watch Sweet Magic again
