Rules


We have only a few rules to enter the Model of the Month Contest:

Your model must:
:bulletblue: Be new for this contest and reflect the theme of the month
:bulletblue: Use three meshed* parts that are available for download in the MMD-Mall
*Meshed in this context means: not textures, spas ect. Background stages for display purposes, also do not count towards this number.
:bulletblue: Use parts that are legal to edit and from authentic† sources
† Authentic sources are defined as any legitimate model/model part that has not be converted or edited without permission from the original copyright owner. Examples consist of: allowed conversions, original parts, ripped off editable models, stock model parts ect.
:bulletblue: NO GAME RIPS ARE ALLOWED, unless they are from a source that allows ripping (i.e. 3dcg, onigiri, derivable IMVU meshes) If any entry uses three or more gameripped parts, it will result in that entry being thrown out and not eligible for resubmission. If your entry contains less than 3 parts, your entry will be allowed to remove and replace those parts with legal parts and be asked to resubmit your entry.

:bulletblue: IF YOU MAKE A MODEL WITH ANYTHING FROM TDA ONLY USE PARTS FROM TDA Ex: Only use a TDA head on a TDA body I want to make that clear it is an issue and we would like for you to not get in trouble and also so you know before you make a pretty model that can't be entered because it broke this one rule and the entries are lacking. Also, this rule is vice- versa for non-TDA models using TDA parts.

:bulletblue: Follow the submission guidelines below:
Submission Guidelines


Please note that for fairness, the same user cannot win two months in a row, although they may still enter.
We also frown upon any users attempting to ‘bribe’ anyone into voting for them.

If your entry is declined, then please read through the rules again before asking us why it was declined.
If you break the rules on several occasions then you will be banned from all future contests.

Remember entries must be submitted by 2359 CST on the last day of that particular month. Entries submitted after this time will not be accepted.  If you are on the last day of entry (29th, 30th or 31st of the given month) please add a screenshot of the time that you turned the entry in to the MMD-Mall to the feedback comments section of your entry, so that we may verify that the entry was in fact turned in on time.


FAQ:

Q: Can we use items that aren't in the MMD-Mall?
A: Yes, as long as it is a model part that can be edited then it can be used

Q: What game rips do you allow?
A: You can find a comprehensive list here: Game parts that we allowThis is simply another thing to link on the front page area, but in case you're wondering here is a master list of everything we currently accept and don't accept in regards to game ripped parts.
These ONLY apply to clothing, bases, etc. Other parts like weapons and stages are exempt from these rules as they do not impact model editing (usually) or MotM entries.
:bulletgreen: 3DCustom Girl/TechArts3D parts
:bulletgreen: Parts from the game Onigiri
:bulletgreen: Parts from Vroid
:bulletgreen: Parts from avatar makers that allow external use (Vroid, Hitogata, etc)
:bulletgreen: Sims 2/3/4 parts if the modder allows it, like Ridgeport (see https://ridgeports.com/tou if you're curious on their terms!)

Q: Are collabs allowed?
A: Yes of course!

Q: Can I enter a model that I have 100% modeled myself?
A: Yes, but only if 3 of the parts on the model are available to download

Q: I have used two different items that were both in one random pack does it count as one or two parts?
A: It depends. If it was, for example, some shoes and a skirt, then it would. If it was two leaves that were just different colors, then it wouldn't. For most things it should be fine, but if you're not sure, do check with us.

A: Not at all, as long as it fits the theme and follows the rules it can be anything, from animals, accessories or stages

Q: Can I enter more than one model per entry?
A: Nope. One per entry as stated above.

I'm considering joining for this month's MotM, but I'm a little confused on the Battle Royale part lmao. Is it just like a free style sort of thing as long as everything follows the rules?
