The Official Collection of 3DMM/Modding Tutorials

[Evil Ash]

This is new, modern age, 3dmm/v3dmm/7gen/modding tutorial thread.
With the recent rise in mods and modding, some very helpful people have made some great new tutorials - and there's some old ones lost in the depths.

This is not a manual for 3dmm, but will contain some more advanced techniques and tricks of the trade.

This will be the new OFFICIAL list and replace the old, outdated tutorials thread.
