    About MMD

   So have you know about software named MMD, or maybe like intrested to try the software after watching some fun and amazing MMD videos on youtube ?

you’re lucky cuz  i will describe almost all about the MMD here. You have to watch video in youtube with keyword “MMD” to know how awesome it is.

Lemme tell you, MMD is the acronym of “Miku Miku Dance”

   “Miku” is the name of the main idol in virtual band named Vocaloid.

And “Dance” have the meaning of aa... you could make Miku dancin in that program, well uh i don’t really know about the details about the meaning behind that, just ask the official site...

Oh well, about MMD lets getting started  !!

   So MikuMikuDance is free 3D animation software for the PC, a modern DirectX”software” MMD is like a toolbox packed with modern digital equipment. So your job is to learn to acces the many tools. And get used to it duhh. To create the animation and videos you can “see” in your minds eye.

   MMD is free software “no charge” and it’s not a software  that take’s some space in the disk, if i remember it’s about 8mb more or less(for the program), at least spare some space for the render. “the sky’s the limit’s” as to what you can create with it, it’s just like a complete freedom ! there are tons of copy of the Software available for download.

Freedom Within Limits

   MikuMikuDance is an art program “given to us” by Yu Higuchi, one of the leading 3D program developers of Vocaloid characters on Nico Nico Douga. MMD was developed as a promotional tool to sell the Yamaha/Sony/Sega/Vocaloid Products. The MikuMikuDance program, itself is distributed from the VPVP homepage, and redistributed throught the LearnMMD.com page, note : just check the website for the details.

 The characters (The dance models), and the props and accessories included with your download are free to use/copyright-free. No music is included with your MikuMikuDance download, you have to add your own tunes, or you can download other’s MMDers creation from the internet.

   About COPYRIGHT ownership is an issue. Everything included in your original download is yours to use. ANYTHING else you download for your use probably belongs to someone else. There are hundreds of MMD models and thousands of accessories available for download 99.9% of it is not for sale, so everything is free to download. Each model or item is created by an artist who wants credit for what they have created. Most things you download will include a ReadMe.txt file in which the artist give him/her permissions, lets you know if you can make changes to him/her model, if you have permissions to redistribute the model, that kind of thing. Often, that ReadMe file is in Japanese. You are still responsible for the content of the ReadMe.      

   LearnMMD.com is the website that spells-out the proper MMD Etiquette for the use, alteration, and sharing of the intellectual property created by MMD artist. Visit that page and read throgh it so you can learn what it takes to be a rensposibe member of MMD users. Music and Motion is generally copyright-protected... but you can usually get away from it !

   There are tons of music and motion files available for download. Many were created by MMDers using Vocaloid or some other software, and many are popular songs translated by MMDers who make the files available for download but the way we MMDers use it, in an artistic, not-for-profit way, will usually allow our videos to slip-through the system and remain on display on YouTube. YouTube does have a copyright policy, and they may flag your video as a possible infringement but let it stay online. They may also remove your video with a note that your video was pulled down due to copyright infringement issues. So be it!

Getting started with MMD !!!

Finally, here we go !

Create animations from scracth

LearnMMD.com has several articles written to help MMD newbies with doing MMD. I recently read the article for the basics info you will need as you begin to create your own animations.

There is some info there, along with links to other LearnMMD articles that show you how to move the models, add a stage, and manipulate the accessories and props that you will be using.

Create comics, art images and pictures.

Use MMD as a tool for assembling 3D models to make pictures and comics!

Load your models and props, set the stage, adjust the lighting, “take the picture”, and open that picture in your art program so that you can crop the image, adjust the levels,  and add captions and type to your image.MikuMikuDance has a picture-taking function that captures your screen image and saves it any of several popular file formats. You can also automatically drop-out the black background of your picture to capture just the model against a transparent background.

I like to set MMD, using the View Menu, to “View Separate Window”, to show me my stage image as large as possible on my monitor, and then I use the keyboard key “Print Screen” to put that image into memory. I then open a New window in Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint and Paste the picture image into place. I can then crop, resize and adjust the picture as I wish, Fun!Enjoy MikuMikuDance …

It’s Fun, it’s Free, it sets your creativity free!
