MikuMikuDance Hakurei Reimu [GO MY WAY] – First Test
My first test of MikuMikuDance with Hakurei Reimu model and static JPEG Background. No dynamic camera angles, no lighting effects, just plain model and motion test for future productions. The background of the video is only a picture I took from my desk, I just estimated the angle for the 3d video.
It seems that it’s not that hard to use MikuMikuDance, the only problem is that it takes a lot of time to do a single pose for every second. But thanks to tweening, most of the frames have calculated measurements of the position of the pose. So for example you raise the arm up from frame 1, and you raise down the arm in frame 10, what would happen is that the program would calculate a movement between frame 1 to 10 so that you would not manually set every pose on every frame.
One of my first few issues with this is that there are no other codecs and compressors installed for saving the Video, when I first saved the AVI file, the two minutes of the video is worth 768 megabytes! So I had to compress it first before uploading to Youtube since my upload speed is slow. Before that, I had to mux the mp3 file with Virtual Dub so that it would have music.
But anyway, just watch the test video below and enjoy…

Really nicely done. Looks like it took a long time to do. It all moves so fluidly. Congratz on getting the site back up too.
Thanks, gonna post more often now. Gonna update the site theme soon also…
Nice, with time you will improve (if you continue) and make great MMD videos
Very nice! I’ve tried playing around with MMD but something, don’t remember what, discouraged me from it. Maybe I could give it another go.
