Mod Meiko here! The main places I head to for parts such as bases and faces is DeviantART. There are enough parts to feed a small country tbh. There’s a whole lot to choose from along with clothing as well! But for the love of god avoid tda faces.
Another website I often peruse is Bowlroll. It’s got a wide selection of props, stages, and some clothes as well (1ya is a user you might want to check out!) The whole site is in Japanese, including searches, so if Japanese isn’t your strong suit, google translate is your best friend. Be careful on how you word things, though!
Keep in mind, though: rigging will always play a role in most parts of editing, so instead of avoiding it, why not give it a shot?
I hope I was able to help you out!
sorry to be blunt but….look harder? there’s so many good parts out there that aren’t tda and lat

Could you please critique this model? I kinda updated her, so ummm, I don’t know what to say…
( i will be analyzing the ‘default’ model in this model pack that you’ve provided. )
firstly, i want to say that before releasing any mmd model or edit, please please please PLEASE clean it up first!! from what i can see here, there are extra, unused bones, physics everywhere, and the display panel is an absolute mess. there are plenty of tutorials on deviantart to learn how to clean your models, and there are even checklists available to make sure you have exactly what you need done before releasing a model for public use.
instead of splitting a material to make a different hair color, i would rather recommend editing the texture itself. it looks much neater and less blocky and unnatural.
not to mention, the head, hair, and other features look a lot like the lenka tda models that are already out there. i don’t know if this is something you’d want to keep in mind, but since you’re trying to make a model of a utau, i’d recommend not basing her appearance off of an already preexisting character. also, black eyebrows do not match with blonde hair. try making the eyebrows a dark blonde or a brown. same thing with the eyelashes; it doesnt look natural.
the textures on the face look very rushed, as well as the eyeshadow being asymmetrical. i doubt that was the look you were probably going for, so i would try and keep the face all one texture instead of splitting it in two. there’s a tutorial on how to add scars, markings, etc to objects you can use to have the red marks on her face there without having to split the face texture.
i’m also unsure if those two lines on her lips are supposed to be stitches or piercings; either way, make them as actual objects instead of just a drawn texture. simply googling ‘mmd piercing’ would give you several options to choose from.
there’s also a rigging issue with the shorts that should probably be fixed.
… and the ears aren’t completely fitted to the head, which is extremely distracting.
i would also HIGHLY recommend adding english facials !! it makes everything so much easier!
in the end, the only things that can really save this model would be if you fixed the textures, the display panel, give the model a major spring cleaning, and/or find better parts. i would also apply spas and toons to the rest of the parts and try and spruce up the rest of the textures to make them seem more original, rather than a copy-paste tda OC with default textures. that would help it stand out more as a model!
good luck!
