MikuMiku EffectContents What is MikuMiku Effect?MME is a plugin for MikuMiku Dance that allows the use of all kinds of special effects ranging from fog, to fire, to snow, to glowing particles. There's even a 'laughing man effect' where the model's face is covered by the infamous animated logo. Even as the camera rotates. Where do I download it?MMED has been released for download on this Nico video, along with a starter pack of effects. The download link for the plugin itself is here, when prompted for a password type 'mme'. UPDATE: If you want to grab a newer version of the program, have a look here under 'MikuMikuEffect (MME: MMD extension tool)'. As I write this, downloads were closed while some maintenance went on, but this is also subject to change without my notice so keep checking. How do I install it?Installation is simple. One you've downloaded the zip, grab the three .dll files and drop them into the root directory. That is, your MMD folder. Not 'Userfile', not 'Data'. At very least, you need d3d9.dll, MMEffect.dll, and MMHack.dll. There's an MMEffect.txt and REFERENCE.txt file, but as far as I know they don't do anything for the program. They're just readme files basically. What are the technical Requirements?At this moment, it's unclear what the exact requirements are. But according to Kalibari day you should have at least 2Gb of RAM for it to run without much lag. This would more than likely depend on the number of effects you run simultaneously. Shaders are known to be heavy on your system if you use very many. As for Graphics cards, it was initially stated that a 1Gb card would be recommended. However mine seems to run the basics (I've only tested a few so far) on a system with approximately 64Mb with no lag. Also, according to this tutorial, some effects may require vertex shader support on your Graphics Card. A couple of people have asked about the version of MMD you need to run in order for MME to work. The safest bet is to grab the latest version of MMD and MME each (to my knowledge there's no compatibility guide for legacy versions), and it will run so long as your hardware meets the requirements. Versions of MMD that predate MME's initial introduction on the timeline will not be recognized by MMD, as the software was made to be compatible with later versions. It's important to note that while you may be able to run MME, not all shaders will be compatible with your graphics card anyway. Some MME effects come with documentation on which features your card needs to have to run that particular effect, or which card they were using to test it. Some effects may outright crash the MMD program. Where do I download Effects?I've compiled a short list of the ones I've found below, but more are popping up on both Youtube and Nico Nico Douga. There's even a particle tool that allows you to edit certain effects that work with MME. Also, I've created a new page here. How do I use them?Depending on the effect you intend to use, the requirements may differ. However, most only require you to load a model or accessory and assign the effect to it via the MME plugin interface within MMD. Some require you to copy specific files to your model/accessory directory. Beyond that, you would have to consult the documentation that comes with each effect, although some users are making tutorials on Youtube and Deviantart. How do I make my own effects?MME Effects are written in HLSL (High Level Shader Language). There used to be a program called Rendermonkey offered by Nvidia which was capable of authoring fx files, but it has since been discontinued. Nvidia has also released FX Composer, which is similar to Rendermonkey in that it supports a few of the same languages (HSL included). FX Composer is free to download but it's also currently not getting any updates, so there's no way to say how long it'll be available. If you're brave enough to try it, there's a PDF tutorial available. Nvidia's latest focus is nsight Visual Studio edition, which also seems to support HLSL. I haven't looked too deeply into this so I can't tell you which software is better as of yet. You really don't need software to create .fx files as they can be generated with any plain text editor (notepad included), but you do need to understand the language used to write the files. Why won't X effect load?If you manage to load MME itself on your PC, keep in mind that not all of the effects will work. A major cause of this could be that your Graphics card doesn't support the effect. For example, my PC has an Nvida card, while my parents' has an ATI, which doesn't support the fire particle system among other things (but it'll run the rendermonkey presets like wood and glass).Also take note that when you see a pop-up message explaining that some methods aren't supported by your hardware, this is definitely the problem. You'd either have to change/upgrade to a card that supports it or move to a PC/laptop that has such a card installed. Also, it seems that users are reporting that old effects aren't working in newer MME versions. |

MikuMikuDance (commonly abbreviated to MMD) is a freeware animation program that lets users animate and create 3D animated movies, originally produced for the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku.[1][2] The MikuMikuDance program itself was programmed by Yu Higuchi (HiguchiM) and has gone through significant upgrades since its creation. Its production was made as part of the VOCALOID Promotion Video Project (VPVP).[3]
MME is a plugin for MikuMiku Dance that allows the use of all kinds of special effects ranging from fog, to fire, to snow, to glowing particles. There's even a 'laughing man effect' where the model's face is covered by the infamous animated logo. Even as the camera rotates. To install MME, you first have to download MME. DOWNLOAD MMEffects (MME Effects) with English Instructions from the LearnMMD Downloads page! After the download is complete, unzip the file. You will need the latest DirectX version of MMD for this, version 7.39 or higher.
Overview[edit]
The software allows users to import 3D models into a virtual space that can be moved and animated accordingly. The positioning of the 3D figures can be easily altered, the facial expressions can be altered (as long as the model has morphs to use), and motion data can be applied to the model to make it move. Along with these functions for models, accessories, stages, and backgrounds can be added to create an environment, and effects such as lens flares and AutoLuminous (an effect that makes things glow and light up) can be applied as long as the MikuMikuEffect (MME) plugin is installed into the interface. Sound and music can also be added to create music videos, short films, and fan-made stories. The motion data used to animate the characters and the pose data mainly used for making screenshots can be exported as .vmd (Vocaloid Motion Data) files and .vpd (Vocaloid Pose Data) files, respectively. The exported files can then be imported into other projects made with software that can use the file types. This allows users to share the data with other users. The software also uses the Bulletphysics engine. Users can also use Microsoft's Kinect for motion capturing. Map shadowing, screenshot rendering in several picture file formats and full movie rendering in the .avi file format are also possible.
With the exception of a few models, stages, motion data and accessories that come with the software upon download, all content, including the 3D models, is distributed by the users, meaning all rules and restrictions (or lack thereof) vary greatly from case to case. Most models' rules may be found in its Readme file, which may be a .txt, pdf or a webpage file. The creator, HiguchiM, has stated he can make no promises regarding how other users' fan models can or cannot be used, and is exempt from all responsibility relating to this subject.[citation needed] Models created by other users are often available for public download. As MikuMikuDance is exclusively a posing and animation software, modelers use 3D modeling software, such as Blender or Metasequoia, to create the model and UV map, while the majority of conversion to the MMD platform (such as facial morphs, bones and physical bodies) is done with a program made exclusively for MMD model conversion, PMD Editor or its successor PMX editor.
The software itself comes with a small number of models of well-known Vocaloids and an invisible grid, to which particle effects can be attached to in MME, a stage, some accessories, and two samples of what MMD can do, in the form of .pmm files; the file type that MMD projects are saved as. The software was originally only released in Japanese; however an English version was released at a later date.[4] Videos using the software are regularly seen on sites such as Nico Nico Douga and YouTube and are popular among Vocaloid fans and users alike. A magazine which hands out exclusive models with every issue was also produced owing to this popularity.[5] Some models for Vocaloid may also be used for Vocaloid music, going on to be used by studios working with the Vocaloid software.[6]
Many people also buy Windows 100% magazines which give models exclusive to the public. These come out once every month and due to popularity, model creators are giving out secret models, as well as the models people have paid for. Most of these tend to be Vocaloid or models that do not have a particular copyright holder.
On May 26, 2011, continual updating of the software came to an end and the last version was released. In a closing statement, the creator left the software in the hands of the fans to continue building upon.[7] Despite this, the source code has not been released, and the developer has no intentions of doing so, making it impossible for people to continue building upon the original software. However, there are alternative programs that provide similar functionality, such as MikuMikuMoving (MMD's 'replacement' that is updated frequently and has many of the features of MMD, as well as new file formats unique to the program, support for the Oculus Rift head-mounted display and a new UI, among other features),[8] and the free software, Blender.
Between then and now, there have been several additions to MMD version 7.39, mainly the addition of the x64 version, which runs better than the normal version and is designed to use the power of 64-bit computers that 32-bit computers lack. This results in better performance, faster render times, and higher quality, to name a few.However, on June 1, 2013, MikuMikuDance's creator began to release updates for the program very suddenly. After he began releasing updates again, there have been 20 new versions and the 64-bit versions of them. Before June 1, the latest version was 7.39, which was released on May 26, 2011. MMD ver. 7.39 received several program updates between its initial release and the time of ver. 7.39m's release. Most of these updates were only made to increase compatibility with newer, more advanced .pmx models. It is unknown why the creator began editing the software again.[9] On December 10, 2019, version 9.32 was released which is the most current version.[10]

In December 2014, Sekai Project announced that they had acquired permission to release MikuMikuDance on Steam.[11] However, As of February 2018, it has not been released.
The first anime television series to be fully produced with the software, Straight Title Robot Anime, premiered on February 5, 2013.[12]
Copyright[edit]
The software was released as freeware. The models of the Vocaloid mascot series provided with the software are subject to the PiaPro Character License, and are not allowed to be used without permission for commercial reasons. Although the software is distributed freely, models released independently of the software may not be — original produced models, motion data, and landscapes may be subject to their creator's own rules. The program does not standardly include all of the Vocaloid characters, but it includes Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Kaito, Meiko, and Megurine Luka; and although Yowane Haku and Akita Neru are not official Vocaloids, they became so popular that Crypton officially licensed and added them to Project Diva.
