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.
Load LearnMMD.com’s own accessories!

You will love this stage; it has a mirrored floor, “lights” that work when you engage the AutoLuminous effect, a custom dark skydome with distant soft “stars”/spotlights, an optional “meter” that displays VMDSpectrum data … and, what could be a “world-first”: a tinted motion capture screen! … or you can use the included “standard” screen.

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.
Download the Reggie’s Cafeteria Table and Chair!
There’s nothing more iconic about a “school” setting than these classic Cafeteria Table and Chair accessories. Reggie made these from Sketchup models he found in the Warehouse.

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 uh I installed MMD, everything worked fine and i had all the files. So I opened it up, and ran it for like about a minute or two, then it crashed and gave my laptop bsods. Like it jjust crashed, and then my laptop just had a loop of bsods. so then when my laptop finally came back on, i uninstalled mmd and re-installed it again. And it did the same thing and made my pc go crazy. I’m using a windows 8.1 32 bit. I installed the 32 bit mmd but it still goes crazy :/. Is there any way to make mmd work on my pc
MMD is just “a DirectX game”… an older game (2010 for the original v7.39)… MMD 9.32 should run fine on Windows 8… Maybe try an older version of MMD?
LearnMMD has ALL of the older DirectX versions available… v 9.31 ran well… v 9.26 ran for years before it got updated… I am afraid you will have to experiment.
In the next version of MMD can we please get a multiview option within the program, kinda like what most other animation software have?(i.e blender, DAZ ect) there is a plugin in for mmd but the current version (9.32) isn’t supported or being updated. It would be really nice if we could get that multiview under>>veiw or >>background in 9.33 or at any version thereafter.
9.32 has been out for 18 months what are the chances of us getting multiview, and or motion tracking(not xbox mo-cap but actual) support for full or partial body tracking sensors(oculus, VIVE, ultraleap. ect) in the next iteration?
We are not MMD developers and Yuu Higuchi does not seem to be interested in adding new features to it. 9.32 and several earlier updates were only addressing minor Windows 10 compatibility issues (there are problems still unresolved) and there’s no prospects of upcoming updates in future.
It is what it is.
can i have a help- i remember when i downloaded mmd everything was good and i was happy but today when i click view and i accidentally press full screen then when i pres esc in my laptop the program was large, like the stage is big the 7 boxes in the bottom where a little small than the original one then the frame manipulation was large, i tried reseting my laptop but it wont work :,((
it doesnt look like the mmd that the others have,mine went different
Er… What?
I’ve just installed mmd on my new laptop(windows 10 x64) as my old one broke, and I got the side by side configuration problem so I went to check which windows c++ version I was missing and it turned out my laptop doesn’t have the 2008 version thus I clicked on the microsoft download link but was brought to an error 404 page. microsoft must have deleted it… is there no way for me to install this and use mmd?
Please try the one on our “Downloads” page… Microsoft no longer offers the 2008 C++… but the VPVP page gave us a link for it… it is the link that is on our Downloads page. … I hope that works for you!
In fact, it *does* offer C++ Redistributables. After my computer’s card decided it’s too old for this Sith a couple of weeks ago, and I in my turn decided that life is too short to play on an old computer… well, long story short, I have a Windows 10 now, and I tried to check if I still can install MMD in “legal” way. MS site *has* redistributables for those versions of C++, “SP1 MFC Security Update” variations. I haven’t figured what exactly MFC stands for, but I downloaded these, and my MMD works again, with effects and everything.

Hmmm… so do we need some rewrites? … new links? Please do step-in and do so… let me know what I can do… need to do to make us whole.
Hi!! I’m having issues with pmx. I’ve extracted it with bandizip and I also tried extracting it with 7zip but no matter what I extract or unblock, the program just won’t open? I was looking at the deviantart page for the download and several people are having this issue but no answers yet :c
Please help!!
I just downloaded and opened PMXE 0254f… it worked for me… From the dA page, I chose the MediaFire link… downloaded the zip (4.4MB)… right-clicked the zip and chose Properties, checked the Unblock box, closed the window. Extracted the zip… opened the program… it worked for me… both Regular and 64-bit…
I don’t understand it myself. It’s extracting all fine, the icons show up, everything looks fine and dandy, it’s just when you click on the program itself it just won’t open T~T . I thought unblocking the bandzip file itself in properties would do something but that didn’t either.
Am I missing something to download?
A few questions… Does MMD run OK for you? … and you can use MME effects without issues? … Are you running a desktop or a laptop? … what model of computer?… do you know if you have a graphics card or is your machine using a built-in chip for graphics? … sorry so many questions…
— Reggie
You’re fine!! I’m using a laptop, it’s an HP envy. MMD and MME run great, though mmd looks a bit old on it for some reason, probably just didn’t download something right. I can run the newest update of raycast. I believe my laptop is using its built in chip for the graphics. I have windows 10 too. Yeah, I legit have no idea what’s going on.
Like it works fine on my other laptop that also has windows 10. The other one I have is an older model (it has an optical drive lol). And yeah. Maybe pmx won’t work for newer laptops?
Do you have all necessary software installed? For PMXE you need VC++ redistributables 2008, 2010 (same as listed for MMD) plus also 2013 (can download from Microsoft).
I guess I didn’t lol because now I downloaded them and pmx works now :) Thanks yall!!
Cool! … so glad.
— Reggie
It is very confusing because it wont download and im on a chrom hpts

Install DirectX 9.0c.
yo i maybe new to this but what happens if you get a
MikuMikuDance.exe error
the code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_43.dll was not found reinstalling the program may fix the problem (even though redownloading it just makes it repeat it over and over)
and im kinda am desprate to get this fixed PLEASE HELP
You need to run the DirectX 9c runtime… Your system will say you alreday have a newer version installed, but MMD needs the DLLs from that older version. It’s OK to run that update, it is made to be added to your newer system.

Top Two (and a fraction) Probable Reasons Your MMD Doesn’t Run
Hello, I installed MME just as instructed, and whenever I use MMD, it just refuses to work, I even tried restarting but it didn’t help.
Hmmm… Please describe what you do and what happens when you do it… what do you see?
First, make sure you have all necessary software installed. Second, try downloading 32-bit version of MMD and MME, for some Windows 10 users it does work where 64-bit does not.
No matter what settings I use or what codec I use, MMD refuses to render out video. It always crashes with no error message as soon as I choose my codec. I’ve wiped and clean installed twice. The first time, it rendered one single video before going back to crashing every time.
It also won’t let me change the screen size for rendering, the boxes are greyed out entirely
I think those “size” boxes are always grayed-out… I just tried on MY system… and they were grayed. You must set the screen size under the VIEW menu.
What CODEC DO you use… ? … MJPEG Compressor works on mine… also try RAW… Be sure to make only a short test of RAW because that will be a huge file size. Set you video length to something like 0 – 150 for the test… see if that works for you. Please ley me know.

I just posted a new tutorial about using the UT Video Codec Suite. Maybe check that out on our home-page.
Hi there, I’m new to using MMD and I’m having trouble setting it up on my pc. It’s only a year old so I decided to install 64 bit program. So far I’ve installed the Microsoft visuals (2008, 2010 and 2005) and MMEffects x64.
My question is, does MikuMikuDance require MMEffects to load the Stage Screen? From the videos I’ve seen, other people use MMEffects and open them in MikuMikuDance. But when I try to open MikuMikuDance before I add MMEffects, I see an error message titled- “System Error.”
And it says: “The code execution cannot proceed because d3ddx9_43.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.”
So, I reinstalled the program twice but still got the same message. I then tried using the 32 bit version and got the same message again.
I have some experience with computers because I’m a music producer, but this is definitely out of my skill level. Even if it’s a multi-step process to fix it then I can learn it. It’s just when I have no idea where to start is when I think it’s time to ask around and see if anyone else knows about it.
Anyway, If anyone has any experience with this then please feel free to chime in, your advice would be greatly appreciated.
That DLL CANNOT be FOUND… what we call “the missing DLL error” is usually “cured” when you execute the DirectX 9c runtime. … It is meant to run on your system even while your system has newer versions running. If asked to run, even though you have newer versions installed, it is OK to say “yes” and install this older DirectX runtime… it contains a set of DLL’s that MMD requires.
Hi, it’s been so long since I’ve done MMD but I remember having this issue before. When opening it gives me the error about the side-by-side configuration. I tried installing all the C+++ but that doesn’t really want to work since I have newer versions on my computer (well that’s the error the 2010 gave me. 2008’s error was “instal.res???.dll”. My system is Windows 10 and 64 bit (i downloaded all 64 bit versions.)
Your system, these days, is SUPPOSED to have newer versions. The C++ Redistributable updates are meant to be an add-on to your existing configuration. … so when asked, go ahead and run these older updates. That Side-by-Side configuration error is all about not having those older C++ in place. … Maybe try the 32-bit versions of MMD and MME… they run just fine on a 64-bit Windows machine.

Did you find anythings that work for this problem? I have the same one and I don’t know what to do….
i just want to dowload this on my laptop for my ocs i dont want to make a dance a video how can i make ocs without making a video or it crashing or breaking?
I do not understand. Step by step, what are you seeing, what is happening, what are you trying to do?
I have A Problem right now, i cant seem to download the pmx editor, and i cant load characters from Vroid studio (if i can even use it) but, if anyone can get back to me, that would be delightful
“cant seem to download the pmx editor” … What does that mean? … did you download it but it won’t work?… or, really, you cannot download it? Please describe in detail what happens when you try to do what? … what error messages, when? We cannot describe a solution without knowing the fine details.
