FAQ


As I get quite a few questions, I thought I would make a FAQ for you guys~
I hope your question is here and answered, if not, please comment and I will add it in!

:bulletred: What program do you use to make your pictures and videos?
:bulletgreen: To make my pictures and videos I use a free software called MikuMikuDance (MMD).

:bulletred: Where can I download this?!

:bulletred: Do I need to download anything for it to work?
:bulletgreen: First you need to Extract it, I recommend 7-zip Extractor if you don't already have one.
Next you need to download DirectX runtime (Ver.9). I believe that is all. 
If you still get errors try downloading Visual C++ 2008 x86 or x64.

:bulletred: Isn't there another program just like MMD?
:bulletgreen: Yes, there is MikuMikuMoving (MMM). There is not much difference except from the interface, option are more easier to get to and you can add text to the video in the program. It is also in English.

:bulletred: Why did they bring out MMM?
:bulletgreen: Because the maker of MMD retired and was not going to update so they brought this out. MMD is now under new management and being updated so there is no need for it really.

:bulletred: Where can I download this? 
:bulletgreen: From here: MikuMikuMoving. It may be in Japanese but you cannot miss the big DOWNLOAD button~

:bulletred: Do I need to download anything for it to work?
:bulletgreen: Yes~ There are a few things needed, but if you already have both MMD and PMD Editor, there is no need to download these.
  1. .NET Framework 2.0 or Higher- But since they deleted 2.0 from their site, here is Version 4.0
  2. You will also need DirectX runtime (Ver.9)
  3. And last but no least Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Re-distributable Package.

:bulletred: What program do you use to make your models/edits?
:bulletgreen: I use a program called PMD Editor to make and edit models.

:bulletred: Where can I download this?!
:bulletgreen: You can download the Japanese version here (Edits PMX too): PMX / PMD Editor  (Near the bottom of the page.) 

:bulletred: Do I need to download anything for it to work?
:bulletgreen: Yes! These are very important and completely safe to download: 
  1. .NET Framework 2.0 or Higher- But since they deleted 2.0 from their site, here is Version 4.0
  2. You will also need DirectX runtime (Ver.9). (If you have downloaded MMD, this is not needed as you already have it.)
  3. And last but no least Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Re-distributable Package.

:bulletred: What program do you make your accessories and stages on?
:bulletgreen: I use the freeware Metasequoia to make them, though I am starting to use Maya now too.

:bulletred: Can I get the links to them also?
:bulletgreen: Sure! Metasequoia: I suggest MetasequoiaLE    
Maya: Maya - Autodesk  You can download the trial, or if you are a student you can get it for free as I did (ask if you would like to know how).

:bulletred: GAH! How do I....
:bulletgreen: Need a tutorial? Take a look here at the tutorials I have done already: Tutorials  Or here at the articles I have written: LearnMMD Articles. If none help, please comment and I will do my best to help!

:bulletred: How do you get those awesome effects on your pictures and videos?!
:bulletgreen: That is a plugin for MMD (and can be used in MMM) called MikuMikuEffects or MME. A very useful tool!

:bulletred: Where can I download MME?
:bulletgreen: From here: MME. Simply click on the large bar to download.

:bulletred: How do I install MME?
:bulletgreen: Extract the MME file and you will see the files. Copy and paste all of these into the same folder as your MMD .exe file (the file you use to open MMD). That is all there is to it, you will see the MME button in the top right-hand corner when you open MMD next. This is just the plugin, you will have to download specific effects separately.

:bulletred: Where can I get download effects?
:bulletgreen: Try searching in DeviantArt by typing in MMD Effect, some should come up that way. A very large collection can also be downloaded here:
 beammanSkyDriveHarigane. (The best 3 places to look.)
