I'm a big fan of the anime umbrella scene, so I wanted to make a Rosegarden one. Also, Oscar is wearing the Beacon uniform because this is like a "what if Oscar went to Beacon with Ruby" type scenario.
Here's the pictures without the rain effect.
I don't own anything. Credits down below.

I recently discovered that you can import MMD models into Blender, so I've just been playing around with it and I made this image of Oscar and Ruby lying in the grass, enjoying the sun. I'm still very new to MMD and Blender, so the image isn't the greatest. But I still think it's very cute.

It's actually from Poser, another 3D model program much like Blender or Unity. I can understand why people think it is like MMD since MikuMikuDance is the only freeware program that is more well known in the anime community to make videos and animations with Japanese fictional characters such as Miku, Haruhi, etc. Some had also mistaken some of the characters looks to be recolored assets of other models like Weiss looking a bit too similar to Akita Neru because the hair is in the same place or Velvet looking like Reisen from Touhou.
Some claimed he had BOUGHT some of the models off TurboSquid, a site that lets users by existing models. But any models that might have been bought or used was not credited in RWBY. Modeler's names were there, but it was probably for the people to alter the model and animate it to what we see today, not the original model creators themselves. Does it count as stolen if it is bought and no credit? Or is it a case like asset flipping?
It's true some of the MMD models back then at the time were available and free, but they still insist to be given credit if used in any video or fanart. This still carries over even today. Some are bit harsher for having deadlines or complicated passwords that only Japanese users understand and not let Westerners steal it.
I wanna say Monty did not steal or ported MMD models to Poser, but he may have bought at least some on TurboSquid and lacked credit. He also did original models, but was not aware of it being too close like other MMD models at the time of making it. Taking influences from other anime series may have also caused people confusion like Adam's hair being too much like Grimmjow from Bleach. At least they are able to make their own models from scratch now thanks to Maya.
