Create 3D animations with MikuMikuDance! Import models, control movement & apply motion data. Easily animate characters in a virtual space.
This software enables users to create animated content by importing 3D models into a virtual environment. They can manipulate object positions, adjust facial expressions (if supported by the model), apply motion data for animation, and add accessories, stages, and backgrounds to build complete scenes. With the MikuMikuEffect (MME) plugin installed, users can also incorporate advanced effects like lens flares and AutoLuminous. Sound and music can be integrated to create music videos or short films. The software utilizes the Bullet physics engine, allowing for realistic movements. Users can export animated character data as .vmd (Vocaloid Motion Data) and pose data as .vpd (Vocaloid Pose Data) files for sharing across compatible applications. Furthermore, it supports features like map shadowing, screenshot rendering in various formats, and full movie rendering in .avi format, potentially using Microsoft Kinect for motion capture.
