MikuMikuDance
MikuMikuDance is a free 3D animation software developed as a promotional element for fans of the Sony/Sega Vocaloid product. Featuring a high-style Japanese feel, MikuMikuDance has caught-on around the globe with tens of thousands of users and millions of MMD videos uploaded world-wide. 
The MMD program was introduced in Japan about 2007, without an English translation until 2010. The Japanese MMD Community is very strong and very active. They created a masterful collection of models, accessories and techniques for which all users today are most grateful!

| INSTALL additional software (required) The VPVP page recommends that you download and install: Regular MikuMikuDance(32-Bit) 64-Bit MikuMikuDance It is critically important to have those packages installed in your system. MMD will not run properly without them, and will not accept higher versions of the same as a proper replacement¹. The majority of comments asking for help about MMD acting wrong will be countered with “Have you DirectX 9.0c and MS Visual C++ runtimes installed?” inquiry, and more likely than not, resolving these will resolve your problem as well. ¹ The above does not mean you have to rollback higher versions of these libraries (that you most probably have) in favor of more obsolete ones. Runtime packages are products specifically designed to be able for all versions to coexist on the same machine.

The White Screen covering the Stage area?
Many users with newer Windows computers using the Intel Gen-12 processor report that MMD opens but the stage area is covered by a white screen. They can see model’s bones but cannot see the model. PLEASE SEE THIS TUTORIAL for a possible solution… seems to be a Driver issue… by adding the right Drivers, you may fix the issue!
We still have available for download the old 2010 release of the…
Original DirectX MMD 7.39 version:
Click the button to download the MikuMikuDanceE_v739.zip file from LearnMMD.com
MMD 7.39 runs great on XP computers and the newer systems, as well.
You can visit the VPVP page https://sites.google.com/view/evpvp/ and see what is there. MMD 7.39 used to be the Version 1.3 on that page. MMD 7.39 is removed and only the latest version of MMD is available there.
There is no “install” … just run it from your desktop. Have fun with it … Hurry back to LearnMMD.com for the information you need to get started with Miku Miku Dance.
You can Download Previous Versions of MMD…
LearnMMD.com still has EVERY version of DirectX MMD available for download… every version since 2010’s MMD 7.39 was released. You can download previous versions of MMD from LearnMMD.com
Upgrade DirectX_9 if you get the Missing DLL Error
In July of 2011, I found that I needed to upgrade to, at least, DirectX_9 … and I had a heck of a time finding it on the Microsoft Support pages.
This link at Microsoft is proven to work for all Windows versions … XP thru Windows 10 … I hope it works for you!
That DirectX runtime is now hosted on a Google-Drive page by VPVP.
IMPORTANT!
Most likely you have the higher version of DirectX installed on your computer by now. The common mistake is to update it to the latest release and expect it to solve your problems. Well, it won’t. MMD requires very specific files that are no longer distributed by default, so if you have the “missing dll problem“, you *need* to install the redistributable pack listed here. Do not worry, it won’t overwrite your newer DirectX install!
Fix the “Cannot find MMDxShow.dll” error
Download MMDxShow.dll Zip… Reggie’s personal copy!
Try this fix for the Cannot find MMDxShow.dll Error message. RENAME your old MMDxShow.dll file (if you have one) so you still have it in case this fix doesn’t work for you. Then download MMDxShow.dll from LearnMMD.com … drop it into your DATA folder inside the main MMD folder.

Additional software
Download an English version of PMX / PMD EDITOR
PMDE / PMXE is a software that lets you adjust or modify your MMD models. You can even create new models from scratch!
The last version of PMD Editor that we recommended was the 039 version by ibozo, available from his dA page. Though not perfect, it worked and was easy to use.
Today… we recommend PMXE ver. 0254f
PMXE in English: PMXE 0254f
Be sure to UNBLOCK the zip before you Extract all (just right-click the zip folder, choose “properties” and check UNBLOCK).
PLEASE NOTE: the PMD Editor is discontinued and won’t be updated past the ibozo 0139 version. PMXE is a continuation of PMDE, working with more advanced formats of MMD models and allowing loads of new possibilities! This new version of PMXE in English is more modern and offers many new features, so we recommend to learn it and preferably convert your models to .pmx format. The PMXE link above leads to a currently latest 0254f version of the editor, translated to English. If you prefer to use an unmodified Japanese version (or eager to check whether a newer release had been made since then), check PMXE’s Japanese home page, where you can always get the latest (but untranslated) release.
LearnMMD has many articles about using PMDE/PMXE!
Be a good MMDer, “Keep the Faith-MMD”.
Get MME v037 in English! … 32-bit or 64-bit!
with English Installation Instructions in English!
Reggie Dentmore has included all of the original files of the Japanese MikuMikuEffect V037 
source zip and added English translation files and a new READ ME with installation instructions in English! There are also a couple of small GIF picture images to help with your installation. It’s not really MME in English … but it’s close! Included in that Read Me is the link to the Japanese source page … in case you’d like to visit and perhaps download your own MikuMikuEffects MME directly from the Japanese website.
IMPORTANT! If you use the 64-bit version of MMD, you *must*choose the 64-bit version of MME as well, and vice versa. Mismatched combinations will not work!
READ Reggie’s Article about MME V037!
To upgrade your old version of MME … simply replace the old DLL files with the new ones in this download.
LearnMMD.com still offers the previous version if you wish to own it. You can download the old Old MME v028 in English.
Mogg Face and Lips
The Mogg Project Face and Lips program helps you to create lip-syncs and VSQ files. LearnMMD has several articles that might help you to learn Face and Lips.
Blender
Blender is a 3D model-making software. It is extremely complicated and is NOT for the casual MMD beginner. You almost need a computer-science degree to understand how to work with it. If you download Blender, search online for the MANY tutorials about using Blender.
Please DO NOT ask LearnMMD for help with Blender; Blender is outside the focus of our work, here, on LearnMMD.
According to the Blender homepage, Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.
If you download Blender, you will also want the latest version of the MMD TOOLS for Blender. Follow that link, Get MMD Tools, and read the info on that page. Again, LearnMMD offers no instruction for Blender and MMD Tools for Blender except as may be noted in our own model-making tutorials. If you download MMD Tools for Blender, please see its homepage for info, and do your research on Google and Deviant Art.
DOWNLOAD MikuMikuMoving from LearnMMD.com!!
MikuMikuMoving is a “competitor” to MikuMikuDance. MMM has some features not available in MMD. MikuMikuMoving will not play your existing PMM dance animation files … but it DOES use the same motion and model files. It also uses its own brand of effects … most of MMD’s MME effects won’t work in MMM. There is a list of MMM effects on the Moggproject homepage. … See the MMM Articles on LearnMMD … and visit the LearnMMD MMM Page.
DOWNLOAD MMM MikuMikuMoving…
Readers report difficulty downloading MMM from it’s MoggProject home page. I see in the README that Redistribution is allowed… so LearnMMD.com is hosting the latest version of MMM (latest version as of 3/5/2020)…
MikuMikuMoving_v1292… for regular, 32-bit MMM
MikuMikuMoving64_v1292… for the 64-bit version of MMM
Download GIMP 2.6 Photo and Image Manipulation Program
GIMP is a freeware program that easily creates animated GIF files. It is powerful software that is able to produce fine images rivaling the quality of Adobe Photoshop.
The buttons and controls do not follow the same scheme followed in Photoshop … so … if you are a hard-core Photoshop user like I am … you will probably become totally frustrated with GIMP! Newbies with no Photoshop experience will probably run GIMP without a problem “:o). All of the instructions and documentation is online. Try it out. Enjoy!
See my article about Creating Animated GIFs Using GIMP 2.6
Audacity 1.3.13 is now Audacity 2.0 – make WAV files!
from your music & voice!
The Audacity program is a powerful tool for all kinds of sound editing … but … for MMD users, it’s a simple tool!
To make a WAV file, just IMPORT your sound file and click EXPORT. Simple!
Click the button to go to the Download Page.
See my Post about the Audacity software.
Get GOOGLE SKETCHUP
and the “.X” plug-in for it:
Click the button to go to Google’s SketchUp page and get your free download of this powerful tool. Click the next button, too, to get the Plug-In that let’s you save objects for MMD.
Click the button to get the “3D Rad Exporter plug-in” for SketchUp that lets SketchUp save drawings as DirectX file objects for MMD Accessories.
I can no longer find that plugin online, so I am hosting it right here, on LearnMMD.com. Click that button to get my personal file. You will need to drop that plugin into the Plugins folder inside the actual Program folder. Go to My Computer… C drive, Programs, find your Sketchup folder, open it and see the Plugins folder. Add my file to that folder. Sketchup will now see it as a plugin.
Again… This is NOT an installable Plugin, YOU have to install it, yourself: When you download that file, you have to install it manually. Drop that .rbs file into the Plugins folder inside the actual Google/Sketchup folder inside your computer’s Programs folder. My Computer>C:>Programs>Google>Sketchup>Plugins. After doing so, you can close everything, start Sketchup, and Sketchup will now see the plugin.

Download Reggie’s DeckPanel!
Use this accessory to give your models a place to stand when the motion data starts your model somewhere above the stage-floor! Sometimes a motion data calls for your model to be on a roof or on a staircase… but YOUR stage doesn’t have those features. … your model needs a place to sit or stand… THIS is that place! See the descriptive article about using Reggie’s DeckPanel.

Let’s Make Miku Walk! Download my WalkTest6RD.pmm animation
I created this walking motion with 5 full strides … 10 steps. See it here: Make Miku Walk!
It is pretty good … and since it is a .pmm file you can run it and edit it … have fun with it.
Please rename the file if you make changes to it.
See the write-up and learn how I created this animation on this page: Make Miku Walk!
My new WalkTest8 file shows that Walking is getting easier!
My new walk test file is cleaner than my previous motion file. See it at https://learnmmd.com/EasyWalk . I started by sliding the model back a bit so the toes are on a ruled line … registered. Then I moved out 15 frames and advanced the Center and the Left Leg IK to the next line. Registered. I COPIED the Left Leg IK position. I then went out 15 frames and PASTED that Left Leg IK data. Then I moved the Center and the Right Leg IK out to the next ruled line, registered, and COPIED the Right Leg IK position. Advanced another 15 … and so on. This created a nice sliding/skating motion. Then I went back and added some foot and hip action. Go ahead and download this little file and play it for yourself!
So i have this problem
it is white texture problem i know that it is a common problem
but when i get to materials, locates the texture, the texture show up in the texview, when i update the texture the texture in the texview has gone, and nothing was fixed afterward
What folder the texture is in?
Hi there!! I remember having the same exact problem! If you did the same thing as me, it’s because the texture viewer will accept the “absolute” file path (C:\user\…) but PMX will only accept “relative” file paths (texture/img.png). If the image file img.png is in the same folder as the model, you just need to add the file name, NOT the file path :D
Hello there is an archive of MMD poses and dances?
I don’t know of any exact archive, but your best bet is almost always DeviantArt! You can find almost any pose you want there. Motions would be more likely to be on YouTube or Nico video.
If you search “mmd motion dl” on YouTube, there’s a playlist with 1,395 videos in it!!
Hello, Reggie first I want to thank you for everything and the hard work you put into mmd!
Second I actually need a little help I tried to fix it myself but to no avail..
I installed DirectX 9 into the TMP folder I made in my local files. I am having an error with PMX editor it will not load at all. I researched this page and every other deviant art page to find the solution. I have reinstalled it I then tried a different file location that didn’t work either I re installed all of my redistributables and still no fixing it.
Is there a way to fix this problem?
Hello! … Does MMD run OK for you? … Do you get an error message from PMXE? What does it say? What do you see when you try to run PMXE? … Which version of PMXE are you trying to run?
I want to download mmd 9.31 but I can’t find it anywhere please put the version in here
LearnMMD has ALL of the DirectX versions of MMD… all you need to do is adjust the URL for the one you want.
The standard “download MMD” URL is this:
https://learnmmd.com/MikuMikuDanceE_v932.zip
or … for 64-bit
https://learnmmd.com/MikuMikuDanceE_v932x64.zip
Just adjust the URL for the MMD version you wish to own.
I can not get it to work I looked a turtorial and i did everything it said
omg i hate i am not able to install mmd whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????????????????????????????????????????????
You do not “install” MMD… That won’t work. … You drag the MMD folder to your desktop… open that folder and run the MikuMikuDance.exe file.
See the Troubleshooting page . … and see the “StartHere” page.
i cant install directx for mmd 9.32 64-bit
I wonder why.
it is because no matter which place i select for it to be installed it will not work
There’s a described procedure with all steps necessary to install DirectX 9.0. Which step does not work for you and what *exactly* happens when you try?
the step that does not work for me is to chose the file location
So, as written elsewhere…
BEFORE you do anything else, go to your C drive and Create New Folder… and name it TMP
Then, run that downloaded DirectX runtime… and when you DO run it, it will ask you where to SAVE to… and you can then navigate to that empty TMP folder. … When you say OK, the update will run. … and you will be done.
See my Success with Windows 10 article… it includes the steps to run that old DirectX runtime.
For the first time i wanted to download MMD for VrChat, i didn’t have the right device to be downloading it on (chromebook sucks btw) and now yesterday, i got a new and high-tech pc(which is awesome so far) and downloading the Ver. 7.39- it came up with an error. It said, “The application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect.Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail” I did not under what it was aying,but unfortunately, it didn’t work because of a config. Is the version 7.39 new or is it the oldest lately? What shoukd i do?
(I see i mispelled two words; saying, should
A) 7.39 is not latest, but it’s considered “stable” and is popular among a certain quota of users who have trouble running newer versions, so you might just as well keep it even if you decide to upgrade. If you run to… the… top… of… THIS VERY DOWNLOADS PAGE… you will see that the current version is 9.32.
B) Also, this very Downloads page specifies which additional libraries you need downloaded and installed. Windows does not come with them by default. Specifically the side-by-side configuration error is caused by the lack of necessary MS C++ Redistributable versions.
Problems with MMEffect
Since yesterday the MMEffect button that shows up in the upper right corner, it just stop showing up.
I dont know why.
Early that day it showed up. But now it doesnt anymore.
-I tried Reinstalling it.
-Changing the Directx dll
-Re locating the MMD folder
-Re downloading everything again
-Draggin the MMEffect dll to MMD.exe and didnt work
-I tried Windows 7, Windows Vista and the service packs.
None of them change nothing.
Also i tried Downloading the 32 bit version. Didnt work either.
The lastest updates i had where the ones that Windows update provide, and i used MMEffects before this happends with my actual updates. This just happend yesterday while i was Lip Syncing a model.
When i imported the model i remember that the MMEffects button was there, then i finished the lip sync, added a stage and when i tried using IkPolish, the button wasen’t there anymore.
And yes, i downloaded everything from the official site and yes, i have both folders (MMD & MME) in 64 bits.
I also try the fix in the website; i downloaded DirectX thingie, made a folder on C Disk, with the name TMP, then installed it, then i restarted the pc and the button didnt show up..
I ask about this on Reddit. All i got was a super nice dude but didnt know anything about this because im on Windows 10.
So.. Yeah..
Update:
I.. Fix it?
All i did was moving the folder to other place
For example: My MMD Folder is called “MMD HELL” And is in my downloads.
Downloads
↳MMD HELL
↳MMD Folder.
All i did was move the MMD folder with the MMEffects file in it. to Downloads.
Downloads
↳MMD Folder.
This Program so old that this doesnt make sense…
Hmm, that’s weird. Was it the Windows’ own Downloads folder, or it lies separately on the disk (C:\Downloads or somesuch)? In the former case I’d recommend moving your MMD folder completely out, giving it its own place. Windows is suspicious about non-certified programs running from its turf. I’d think of it earlier, but you said that you ran MMD successfully until recently, and that got me off-track. If the latter… well, then it’s just *extra* weird and I can think of no explanation. Anyway, MMD *is* old indeed, and it was written rather amateurishly. Yuu Higuchi may be a talented animator, but that thing he wrote was clearly for himself and the close circle of like-minded animators, not for a worldwide audience with the wide range of problems.
Welp.
My download folder is in
C:\Downloads. And theres where the MMD HELL folder is.
I have all my mmd dls there, motions, models, effects, PMX, all mmd related files.
And yes. I said that i was using MMD with MMEffects in that folder (MMD HELL) I was using it without any problems. I could use effects, IkPolish, Raycast, everything without a problem.
But then it stopped working. I spend all day trying to fix it and all i did was move the folder and everything worked as well.
But now effects doesnt apply because they were on the MMD HELL folder.
Now i have all files on the Downloads folder and everything is fine..
So the problem was the MMD HELL Folder.
Best name ever.
Hi! i wanted to say if its available on chromebooks?!
Windows only. Plus, you need a proper graphic card to run it, and from what I remember about chromebooks, they don’t have one.
oof that sucks for me
Try your appStore! This place is win-lose only, no *nix! For us, useing different platforms, here are only poses, stages and models of interest. Oh, and the How-To’s, after all it’s a Learning platform. btw: you may emulate a windoze [will be REALLY slow, but as a last resort …] on almost any machine
i love miku miku dance
mme doesn’t work for me on the latest mmd update :c
Top Two (and a fraction) Probable Reasons Your MMD Doesn’t Run
can i have a bit of help with installing MMD?
It doesn’t want to work for some odd reason.
Great Program! Im happy yu higuchuu
Hi! I was wondering if MMD would ever be available for other computer systems?
Not likely… MikuMikuDance MMD 7.39 was released as a Windows DirectX “game” in 2010. It has been updated many times but has always been a Windows DirectX program. There have been attempts to modify it so as to run on Apple and Linux… but no solid transition has been created… MMD is a Windows program.
…there are, though, attempts on Android …
…Wish, this Site had some support for those other OS’s – have seen some apple-soft on my search, so it seems very likely, that there’s some thing for linux/BSD aswell, but there ARE apk’s (droid’s ver of exe’s), although they’re strongly web-dependent (virtual money etc.), so I’m still on the search…
Anyways, are the sources open?
would like to see a BeOS port…)
