Description
Too many posts on demonstrations and work in progress on videos of ARToolkit_MMD (Augmented Reality Toolkit MikuMikuDance), but no instruction manual on how to use it.demonstration videos, because if a picture is a thousand words, then a video must be a novel

Description:
ARToolkit is a program used to display models or images on a webcam video by detecting a marker (similar technology: facial recognition). By calculating how the marker image is deformed, the program will know how the marker is oriented in real life. Using that information, it inserts a 3D model with the right orientation into the video using the marker as the center point.
Since MikuMikuDance is a free and powerful 3D modeling software, it can be used to insert a 3d model, motion data, and wave file data stored in the usual .pmm files in augmented reality.
TUTORIAL
1. download MikuMikuDance (mine is directx9 version) from www.geocities.jp/higuchuu4/ind… [note: it will work up until v803, but not with the new v9 MMD pmm files, find a backdated version if required]
2. to download ARToolkit_MMD, first go to com.nicovideo.jp/community/co3…
3. go to this link www1.axfc.net/uploader/Sc/so/1… . Click the obvious button, then on the next screen, click the one that says in english 'download now'
4. extract the files.
5. open the ARToolkit/Data folder, then print out the .pdf named pattSample1 on a piece of paper. for best results, you want to attach it to a hard surface.
6. Back on your computer, open the ARToolkit folder, open up the .ini file named setting.
7. change the #MMDDataFolderName to where you extracted your MikuMikuDance Data folder.
8. change the PMMFileName to the path where the .pmm file you want to use is located
9. you can change the scale to get a larger or smaller scaled model.
10. save and exit the .ini file.
11. run ARToolkit_MMD.exe
12. if you have a 64 bit computer, it should be screwing up saying : msvcp71 is missing. If so, copy and paste the msvcp71 and msvcr71 .dll files in the ARToolkit folder into Windows SysWOW64 folder (not system 32). run ARToolkit_MMD.exe to confirm that its fixed.
13. a windows blackscreen appears with a window named 'Property Sheet Properties.
14. Frame rate should be as high as you can, check the flip horizontal if youre using a laptop webcam, uncheck if you somehow have your webcam attached to your head. color space, i dont really care. Output size... 640 x 480 have not been giving me problems. larger than that tends to lagg. The default 640 x 400 somehow messes some stuff up a bit
15. if you run into an error, it means some models arent loading up or you didnt change the path earlier properly. if so, open MikuMikuDance, open up that .pmm file and just delete the models it cant load.
16. if you can run it, a webcam output now appears.
17. bring your printed pattern into full view of the webcam window. The whole pattern should be visible.
18. the program detects a transformation of the pattern 'matrix' to calculate a viewing orientation.
19. the files in the .pmm file should appear, but not move just yet.
20. these buttons on your keyboard have specific functions: a - toggles opacity of the AR model. s - begins/pauses the dance routine. r - resets the dance routine
21. feel free to move the marker to different orientations to get different views of the whole thing.
22. if your .pmm file has a .wav sound file loaded, this version will play the .wav file as well, provided that its title is in a simple form (no jap, no special characters. A pure english title works best.
23. to play other .pmm files, you need to open the .ini file and change the path to where the new .pmm file you want to load is loaded.
extra info - 10/4/2011
if the webcam has trouble sensing the marker because the marker is not appearing very 'black', then open up the setting.ini file, and search for something named MarkerGrayScaleThreshold. Setting it to a high value (255 maximum number) will make your marker detectable even when its not appearing as 'black' as it should be.
if the surroundings are too black, then setting the number to a lower value will help detect the marker in lower light conditions.
Its default setting is 128.
This dance routine is modified from the pre-existing Sample(Allstar).pmm already included in MikuMikuDance. I deleted the two Dummy bone models and the entire stage.

ARToolkit has been known to either NOT work or malfunction with this Rin Append XS mqdl model
mqdl.jpn.org/public/rinApXSb.z…
this LAT Rin Append model will work somewhat, but the ribbon IK bones will start going crazy once a dance routine begins. I suspect a physics problem (download via cococity's link)

update 3/6/2011 I have edited the deviation to show something which will make your augmented reality life a lot easier.
I printed a smaller marker logo and pasted it onto a magnetic bookmark. Now its possible for me to go hands free.
top left: magnetic bookmark attached to shoulder epaulet strap.
middle left, handheld
bottom left, magnetic bookmark attached to sleeve
bottom right, handheld
Also, this works on other surfaces, such as gloves, or drawn on your hand with a permanent marker of sorts. It still needs to be drawn using the proper dimensions and ratios, and must still be straight enough for a proper detection.
update 24/7/2011 Dummy bone will load in ARToolkit_MMD, but some attachments and effects may not load or cause the program to crash. If so, deleting the faulty attachments may work.
update 20/8/2011 Mikumikueffects wont work in ARToolkit.
Also, did a video, and edited the deviation to include one cutscreen from the video. The cutscreen is from the part near the end.

If you are unable to select the checkbox which allows you to flip the image (so that the image looks like a mirrored image of you), you can force the horizontal flip by opening
ARToolkitFolder>Data>WDM_camera_flipV.xml
using notepad.
You will be greeted with some lines of text blablablablabla.
Find and change the following line:
to
and then click save.
this will force all future webcam outputs from artoolkit_mmd to be horizontally flipped. If you want it back, then just play around with the settings "true" and "false".

Mine won't work it keeps saying that d3dx9_42.dll is missing from my computer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have a funny feeling that its one of the DirectX files. So i will recommend installing an updated version of directX.
Or you could download and register that particular .dll from google. Pretty sure that its available for download with install instructions.

That worked thanks. Now I just need to get it to stop freezing lol

Thanks for the tutorial~! But I have one problem...
Mine stops responding after the lines:
"Create Scene...
- Check Shader Model Versions
-- VS_Version >= 3.0
(And so on until...)
- load and compile shader programs.
-- Effect\Copy.fx... done."
After those lines, it won't respond. Then...
"ARToolKit_MMD.exe has stopped working"
Can you help me with this? If so, thank you very much~!

Just wondering if I t was possible to implement MMDAgent into ARToolkit similar to they way MMDSpectrum can.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
alright, the line of code which is supposed to follow copy.fx is shadowmap.fx, which means probably your shadow map option is incompatible.
So, change the shadow map region and shadow map precision [generally it should be shadow map precision].
so just try the 4 combinations:
precision - map
2 - 32 bit
2 - 8 bit
0 - 32 bit
0 - 8 bit
one of them (at least) has to work for you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the help but it still won't respond after the "-- Effect\Copy.fx... done"
I tried the combinations, and tried one of my owns and still it didn't. I also tried re-installing the program, still the same problem.
I'm very sorry for bothering you like this.

This happened to me just make sure that your computer is running all the most recent updates available for it and try updating DirectX it fixed my problems.

so, youre going to need to tell me more about your computer.
Mine is running a 64 bit windows 7 home premium, with an Nvidia GT 420M graphics card, using a Dell XPS inbuilt integrated webcam.
Also note that certain models will not load with ARToolkit. You are advised to create a brand new .pmm file in MikuMikudance using the LAT miku model.
Allstars.pmm is guaranteed to mess up ARToolkit due to some effects. So these may also mess up the ARToolkit
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mine is a 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium, too. The processor is Pentium(R) Dual-Core. VGA is INTEL Int. GMA 4500M. I don't what brand the built-in webcam I have.
I can't seem to read the manual for a really silly reason. (I can't read cantonese since this was bought from taiwan) So I'm stuck at reading what was on it. (That was English)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
did you try to use a new .pmm file or are you trying to use the allstars.pmm?
Allstars.pmm cannot work because it uses some incompatible effects and/or accessories, so it will fail. Have you saved a new .pmm file with a simple model? Animasa and LAT mikus work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I tried using a new .pmm file and a new model, too (Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru Motion data and Aoki Lapis [Saboten].) And yes, I saved it to a new .pmm file.
I also tried to use LAT models, yet it is still the same.

i suppose then you may need to work with every permutation of the shadow settings, because if it fails after Copy.fx... done, then its definitely a shadow problem setting. These are currently my settings:
BulletMode 1
HWSkinningOn 1
AntiAliasing 1
ShadowMapRegion 1
ShadowMapResolution 0
ShadowMapPrecision 32bit
ARscreen 1
ARperspective 10.0
ARToolKit 1
WindowSize 2
MarkerDetectMode 0
MarkerGrayScaleThreshold 130
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... I'll try experimenting with the shadow settings. Well, I tried your settings... It still won't respond there.
I troubleshoot the compatibility of the program and it says that the application is incompatible...
Thanks for all of your help~!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, you can instead opt to play with MMDAgent. That one usually behaves a lot better than ARToolkit, but its voice recognition and not augmented reality

Weird thing happening when I try this. When I go to an HD resolution the figure starts floating off the floor. I'm guessing the aspect ratio is wrong... have you seen this ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, its pretty common actually, and depends primarily on your webcam.
Mine for example works fine with multiples of 640x480 resolutions, but will hover when its a 640x400 multiple.
Aelita2000 had this as well, except it worked with the 800x400 multiple.
Your best bet is to go through the resolutions to find out which wont have the problem. One of them has to work. Once you find out which it is, then you can use the multiples of that resolution.

Many thanks for the information - was working with a friend of mine on something with this software, but we had to stick with standard definition for now: [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, even my videos had to use standard definition or else the recording would be horrible. Even on standard definition, i had to use no compression screen capture or else it was going to be very slow as the video kept on recording. 4 gigabytes for a 3 minute secret garden.

I have tried the ARDesktop, but i cannot use it, seem to bee Compiled i not have the competence for programation ^^.
Have you tested the ARDesktop?
For the kinect, i will test with MMD, MMD have support for Kinect, that will be funny to dance and then apply to the virtual XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i havent had much luck with ARDesktop either. I have tried doing everything as much as i can figure from that website, but still, i cannot compile the necessary .dll files to make it function.
As for the Kinect some have done that, but its not using MMD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, Same problem as mee for compile.
For kinect I do not use it with AR, but with the MMD because at least it works pretty well, anyway, thank you for the tutorial, I added the page on my desk in case I forget some thing ^ ^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah well, just intro it to others. The MMD community ought to be at the forefront of technology. This is merely the beginning of something possibly much cooler.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, I noticed that the program does not support the newest models.
I wonder if there is a recent version of AR-Toolkit but can work with the Kinect?
Because I saw that there have version "[ARToolKit] Stereo" which allows to detect certain hand position and thus able to touch the character with your finger
([link] )
But it seems, it takes two webcam, it would be simpler in this case to make it work with the kinect sensor
Finally, if you have knowledge of a version of the AR-toolkit_MMD, which will allow the characters to touch with a finger, let me know.
Even if it's for the vertion that I quoted in the above links, because I did not find or download.
Otherwise, thanks to your tutorial, I already have impressed my friends who thought it was photoshop and not réal XD

PMX wont work in ARToolkit_MMD, some others i have no idea either.
Still, the only thing i actually did was mash buttons and key things into google translate.
My computing ability is limited to the iostream.h library of C++, but looking through the source code has allowed me to identify reasons why some people cant get their stuff to work.
As for the two webcam and kinect thing, well, those exist, but i have yet to find them as open source. Even so, one would still need to program the right sensors to interact with ARToolkit_MMD. Much of the current progress is going on with Wahwahhawah's ARDesktop, and seems to be the most advanced in this regard.

Re- Hello, i have found this: [link] That's a vertion of AR-toolkit MMD but wee can interact with the model and it's work with high resolution from my webcam (the only problem is have not a setting.ini file and i cannot size the model)
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
this seems to be a coded from a much earlier Augmented reality mikumikudance - ARTK (ARTK_MMD was the first one i tested before shifting in favor of ARToolkit_MMD)
Its an older version which doesnt support sound, but the advantage of that version is it can change models within the program and models can also be made to look at your mouse pointer.
Increasing the model works by entering '+' while reducing the model size will be '-'
The author has since added the ability to play rock paper and scissors with and multiple marker interaction to it.

EDIT: Size Is forking is the key + and -. you can play paper scisor rock with the model XD Now i have play with Sneak (Nintendo)

the only working résolution for mee is 800X600, i have tested all other but not working corectly. my webcam can get 1280x1024 thats a great resolution but not work ^^

this is a problem which happens when i usually use the bottom half of the resolution options
(640 x 400 and their multiples causes this)
Solution is to use 640 x 480 or 1024x768. These are my favorite working resolutions and should get rid of your problem.

thanks for the tutorial! tough i have a question
i did every step right and it loaded the .pmm file and all,and the camera shows up and i can see the model
from the inside of the laptop but it wont appear on the real paper,help?

well, thats the point actually. You dont actually get a real life model. Thats why the program's name is Augmented reality.
Still, it is sufficient to make people believe that there is something you can interact with, even if it isnt there.

oh sorry then but after watching some vids i tough the model was going to show up at least thats how it looked there xD but i guess this is cool too ^^

yep. go ahead and mess around with other people's heads.
They'll look at you weirdly if they dont actually see the webcam image, but will understand the moment they see it.

the fst file. MMDAgent tutorial has everything.
I also provided a zip file with my own .fst file in that tutorial. If you open it with notepad, you should be able to figure out how to program it.
Actually, the .fst file included already tells you a list of all commands which you can use in english. Switching characters uses the MODEL_CHANGE command. Not too hard actually.

- the pmm file path in the settings.ini folder has to be a full valid .pmm path
example:
## MMD関連の設定
# PMMファイル名
PMMFileName D:\Programs\MikuMikuDanceE_v729\UserFile\the secret garden artoolkit2.pmm
focus more on
PMMFileName D:\Programs\MikuMikuDanceE_v729\UserFile\the secret garden artoolkit2.pmm
it must be the full path to the pmm file, and the pmm file has to exist. If it does exist properly, then it may be that the pmm file was saved with a much older version of MikuMikudance. Recommended is MikuMikudance version 739.

i use the sample.pmm from MikuMikuDanceE_v739dot (in above link)
where i could download .pmm file ? that exist properly,

sample.pmm has a problem because it has stuff which messes up the program.
Mikumikudance saves its files as .pmm files under the File > Save option.
Make sure you load up a model, give it motion and a .wav file so that it plays properly.
