    đúng vậy tôi là người Việt nhưng lại thích mikumikudance có điều lại không hiểu tiếng anh lắm mà cũng chưa biết sử dụng trên windown 11 (máy tôi lúc nào cũng báo lỗi ) bạn có thể tạo 1 bản mikumikudance mới hơn mà chạy được trên windown 11 cũng như có hỗ trợ tiếng Việt ,dễ sử dụng nữa cho các bạn Việt Nam làm ( vì ít người Việt biết về mikumikudance ) tôi thấy hầu như người Việt lại làm về gacha của Lunime hơn mikumikudance của bạn tôi mong bạn tạo ra
    Tôi sẽ luôn ủng hộ bạn !

      yes i am vietnamese but i like mikumikudance but i don’t understand english very well and i don’t know how to use it on windows 11 (my computer always shows error) you can create a newer mikumikudance version that can run on windows 11 and also has vietnamese support, easy to use for vietnamese people to do (because few vietnamese people know about mikumikudance) i see that vietnamese people mostly do lunime gacha more than your mikumikudance i hope you create it
      i will always support you!

      Thank you for your support! … Thank you for being there and for trusting me with your comment.

    Hello, how can I adjust the MMD interface so I can see the full name of the parts, or at least enough to differentiate them? I can’t seem to find the answer of my question on google, and I’m new so I haven’t been able to look through all the tutorials yet. Here is an example of how the names get cut off: https://gyazo.com/113d1f79280e908914a07c6fa44a2103

    Thank you for making all these tutorials! They have been a massive help!

      Wow… that’s a bad model build! Look at all of those duplicate bones! If you simply open a basic MTranslate your model as a way to solve your issue… but, I think, the real issue is that model, itself!

      Making characters is difficult and requires much computer skill. See this link for a partial list of “Making Models” on LearnMMD.com.

    Hi! I have a question regarding collision physics, specifically PuniEngine, I’ve been trying to set it up but I don’t understand japanese, so it would be great if a tutorial about setting it up is uploaded to this website.

    PuniEngine can be found here:
    https://www.themmearchive.com/beamman/puniengine

    Thanks in advance.

      Sorry… I am unfamiliar with puniengine. Not my kind of thing. Perhaps a reader will search his way to this question and have an answer for you.

      LearnMMD does have quite a few articles about model physics and collisions. Some casually mention collisions but others will have some meat for you. The system only shows 11 articles on a page, but see at the foot of the page how to move to the next page. That link called up three pages of articles for you.

      I got that link by using the SEARCH function of LearnMMD. … In the upper right of each page is a magnifying glass. Click that for a Search window. Start with simple one word clues and see what you get.

      The only idea I have is something I just discovered recently. If the program doesn’t run on Unicode you can change your app locale to Japan for non-Unicode programs… Maybe you could translate it that way or at least be able to by highlighting certain things as you need them (hopefully it’s unlike PMX, so you can take your cursor and click to highlight and copy text from anywhere in the program).
