This list will keep growing as I discover new tricks in MMD. Feel free to tell me yours in the comments!

I may sort this further if it gets too big.

MMD
If your stage has multiple floors, make thin plate rigid bodies and disable MMD's default floor.
- Render 360-degree videos in MMD with this: fav.me/db4wldq
- View your model in split-screen to quickly check for motion/pose clipping with this plugin: www.deviantart.com/shiryohere/…

PM(D/X)e
- Keyboard shortcuts here: fav.me/daz57x7
- The Launcher plugin just underneath CSScript (same place as all the other plugins) will quickly let you access any plugin you have other than CSScript and Launcher itself. There are some very useful plugins already included with PMXe, such as Autosave/Backup (!!!) and Position Save (so you don't have to reopen/reposition your favorite windows every launch).
- Setting rigid body masses equal to 0 is the same as setting no-calculation physics in MMD.
- You can set negative masses for some antigravity effects.
- By rigging each step in a staircase (along with necessary stair-rails) to a bone and chaining them all in an IK with Loop = 1 and Angle < 5 or 10, restricting angle movement to the Y-axis only, and setting the IK move bone to the last (e.g. highest) step, you can easily make spiral staircases. If starting with straight staircases, enabling Perspective view expedites the process.
- Automate breathing (hopefully) without potentially messing up your model's motions with a bone morph; settings included here: www.deviantart.com/mareaw/art/…
- Install a ghost bone setup to quickly adjust MMD motions (for in-dance clipping, etc) with this plugin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJPr_9…

Other
- In FaceAndLips, you can import text files to auto-create vowel sliders. This only works for Japanese katakana/hiragana/kanji(?) and NOT Romaji or English.

Just in case (for me only)
