=================================
Basic workflow:
1. Install MMDtools. Add model, motion
2. Physics. (Using Rigid Body to make 'buoyancy', but to be honest I don't know how to make it well. If it is hard, just ignore 'RIGID BODY' cube and add physics only instead.)
3. Separate models into parts. Set those parts as brush, and mud as canvas.
(A) If parts do not fly (e.g. legs, head) or not fly too much (e.g. short hairs), then set brush. (Alpha = 1)
(B) If parts fly too much (e.g. long dress, long hair), then set little brush (Alpha = 0.3 or lower) or no brush. After all you don't want to see a steel hair stir up the mud or metal dress push away the mud like magic.
Don't forget to turn off the brush for muddy coating, that is, model as canvas while mud as brush.
4.Bake caches of Holes, Wobbling, Cracker Holes.
5. Change the size of brush, that is, change the proximity.
6. Based on the proximity, bake caches of others.
7. Join parts which do not fly too much into a single part A. Join parts which fly too much into a single part B.
8. Set A as target of shrinkwrap. (to be honest, that do not change too much...);
9. Turn off brush of Part A and B, and set them as canvas.
10. Turn on brush of mud.
11. Input DP1 into output of Part A canvas. Bake. Add geometry modifier for muddy coating.
12. Input DP1 into output of Part B canvas. Bake. Add geometry modifier for muddy coating.
13. Now it is time for you to check how to make shaders for models, how to add extra things in the background, how to make more lightings, how to use camera...Oh, you can just turn camera into MMD camera to make life easier.
