Miku Miku Dance – 3D Dance Software

Ichiro — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:17:50 +0000

Have you ever wanted to make those videos you see on Youtube and NicoNicoDouga about dancing 3D Vocaloids, Touhou, Utau, Idolm@sters and many more? I introduce to you MikuMikuDance, it is a software that enables you to import 3D model files in PMD format and lets you control movements and and camera sequences easy and simple. You can also lip-sync the characters to any song that you use for your video manually or by using the VSQ file from the Vocaloid software.

For those who would like to test out this great software, you need to download the software first. Links are provided on the end of the article.

Using the software is easy, but of course at first everything looks very confusing, but after an hour or more of fiddling with the program, you would be able to familiarize all the tools in the program.

A comprehensive video tutorial on the usage is embedded below.

MikuMikuDance Hakurei Reimu [GO MY WAY] – First Test

Ichiro — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:42:21 +0000

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…

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai’s OP is here edited skillfully to make a wonderful Vocaloid MAD. The music video features all the vocaloid characters, including new comer Megurine Luka.

It could have been better if the vocaloid software were also used, since it’s the essence of it…

Here is a comparison video of the original version and the MAD.

Hatsune Miku MAD by CLAMP

Ichiro — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:51:03 +0000

CLAMP, noted for one of the best manga series such as Chobits and of course Card Captor Sakura, illustrates Hatsune Miku in this splendid PV with the song Mugen no Yami (Infinite Darkness) as the BGM.

The video seems to be a reminder of the art style and character designs of the famed group. The show indeed features Hatsune Miku in striking Gothic diva fashion.

The MAD may only consist of still images, but there is no doubt that it is indeed a marvelous work.

K-On! Vocaloid Cosplay

Ichiro — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:46:40 +0000

Moe blob K-On’s death metal godess Sawako sensei seems to be enjoying her time by making the cast wear Vocaloid costumes.

From the looks of it, the cast seem to fit in their assigned costumes.

Here we see the Hirasawa sisters as the Kagamine twins which look very appropriate in their costumes, also here is Ritsu which fits very well to cosplay as Meiko, we also have Mugi-chan as Megurine Luka which just brings out the moe. Mio is here too as Gakupo, but she’s at the corner and shy as usual, then also Azusa, who’s going to be dressed as Miku but is being resistant, then the last is Nodoka as kaito

It’s all thanks to Tam2 for this wonderfull work, you can view their group site here.

この世界のメロディー
わたしの歌声
届いているかな
響いているかな

手のひらから　零れ落ちた
音の粒を　探してるの
Packageに詰めた　この想いを
伝えたいの　あなたにだけ

うまく歌えるといいな
ちゃんとできるようにがんばるよ！

この世界のメロディー
わたしの歌声
届いているかな
響いているかな

ずっと待ってたの　ひとりぼっちで
歌いたくて　歌えなくて
でもあなたと　出逢えたから
もうさみしくなんてないよ

心がビートで満ちてくの
あふれ出す想いは歌に変えて

この世界のメロディー
わたしの歌声
届いているかな
響いているかな

この世界に笑顔を
わたしとあなたで
届いているでしょ
響いているよね

English:

World’s number one princess, treat me so by heart.

One, notice my hairstyle has changed, it’s different from usual.
Two, admire me down to my shoes, got that?
Three, for every word I say, reply back in three.
Somehow you understood all that, yet your right hand is absent!

I’m not saying that I’m selfish,
I just want you to think I’m cute in your heart.

World’s number one princess.
Neh, neh, realise that
keeping me waiting is out of the question.
Who do you think I am?
I feel like eating something sweet!
Right now~

Faults? Thinking cute is wrong.
I shall take no complaints.
You know? Are you listening to me? Say…
Ah, and also? Do you know of those white horses?
Take me away.
Once you have understood, kneel down, take my hand and address me as “my princess”.

I’m not saying that I’m selfish.
Although, could it be alright to scold me a little?

My own prince in the world.
Hey, hey, realise that
our hands are empty,
my reticent and bluff prince.
Why! Realise it quick.

You surely don’t understand! Don’t understand at all…

Shortcakes with strawberry toppings,
with delicious, luscious egg puddings.
Everyone, everyone, restrain yourselves.
Please don’t think I’m a selfish girl.
I can be good when I want to.
You’ll regret it then.

Definitely! Since I am..

..the world’s number one princess.
If I could see any place, where would I go?
Embracing together, then suddenly, eh?
“There’s danger nearby”, you said and turned away.

…It doesn’t seem safe here.

Japanese:

世界で一番おひめさま　そういう扱い心得てよね

その一　いつもと違う髪形に気が付くこと
その二　ちゃんと靴まで見ること　いいね？
その三　わたしの一言には三つの言葉で返事すること
わかったら右手がお留守なのを　なんとかして！

別にわがままなんて言ってないんだから
キミに心から思って欲しいの　かわいいって

世界で一番おひめさま
気が付いて　ねえねえ
待たせるなんて論外よ
わたしを誰だと思ってるの？
もう何だか　あまいものが食べたい！
いますぐによ

欠点？かわいいの間違いでしょ
文句は許しませんの
あのね？私の話ちゃんと聞いてる？ちょっとぉ・・・
あ、それとね？白いおうまさん　決まってるでしょ？
迎えに来て
わかったらかしずいて　手を取って「おひめさま」って

べつに　わがままなんて言ってないんだから
でもね　少しくらい叱ってくれたっていいのよ？

世界でわたしだけのおうじさま
気が付いて　ほらほら
おててが空いてます
無口で無愛想なおうじさま
もう　どうして！　気が付いてよ早く

ぜったいキミはわかってない！　わかってないわ・・・

いちごの乗ったショートケーキ
こだわりたまごのとろけるプリン
みんな　みんな　我慢します・・・
わがままな子だと思わないで
わたしだってやればできるもん
あとで後悔するわよ

当然です！だってわたしは

世界で一番おひめさま
ちゃんと見ててよね　どこかに行っちゃうよ？
ふいに抱きしめられた　急に　そんな　えっ？
「轢かれる　危ないよ」　そう言ってそっぽ向くキミ

…こっちのが危ないわよ
