Anime-goers and Japanese enthusiasts that are learning Japanese should not miss this great extension for Google Chrome. Rikaikun, a dictionary extension for Google Chrome which is a conversion/counterpart from the popular FireFox extension Rikaichan. Similar to Rikaichan’s functions, when enabled hovering the mouse on Japanese text would pop out a tooltip which has the translation and hiragana pronunciation of the text. By hitting the shift/enter button, more information of the Kanji will be presented.

More details about Rikaikun on the developer’s website, and you can read more about Rikaichan here.

Miku Miku Dance Hakurei Reimu

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.
