What It Is
This is a lightweight, MMD-ready, simple stage that utilizes light beams and audio reactive elements. It's meant to be used with your MMD player plugin of choice.
The environment has been kept minimal to conserve resources and maintain a smooth framerate. This scene is intended to be used in conjunction with your favorite MMD player plugin and motions, and will react to the audio on the lower frequencies, adjusting lights and visual effects on the fly. Light trails have been attached to the right arm, and of course—the staple of the majority of my scenes and creative ideas—Farger's particle effects, to make the environment feel a bit more dynamic.

Tips
- An MMD player plugin is not included with the scene—see the recommendations above for a free option
- Add the MMD player plugin to the Dancer atom to ensure the audio is captured as it's played
- The scene has been set up for depth of field effects, and can be toggled on and off as desired via the AutoFocusPoint atom
- Custom light rig—good for photos too, not just dances
