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".

okay, i got it.
The thing that follows next is supposed to be ShadowMap.fx
Since this is the thing which is malfunctioning, i recommend changing the value of the ShadowMapPrecision and ShadowMapResolution.
My settings are 0 (512 x 512) and 32 bit. I am willing to bet at least one of these combinations work:
0 (512 x512) and 32 bit
2 (2048x2048) and 32 bit
0 (512 x512) and 8 bit
2 (2048x2048) and 8 bit
Its default settings may or may not work on some operating systems, so you will need to change it.

thank you sir,
can you give me your simple PMM with music & dance , please? ^^

you better make some yourself, because even if i give pmm files to you, you need to repair all the model, music and motion links, so its still much easier to make your own.
i usually stalk niconicodouga and youtube for motion and model data

update your directX to the latest version. The code is trying to use DirectX, but it may be having problems with older versions.
When you run the program, it will say
Create scene
Check Shader Model versions
VS_version >= 3.0
PS_version >= 3.0
are the numbers the same for you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, it's same . . .
i had shared my screenshot before,
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
then you should open up the settings.ini file and change these to:
ShadowMapResolution 0
ShadowMapPrecision 32bit
these are the values i use. I'm using windows7 64 bit too

When I move the marker, the model disappears. Is there a way to make it so I can move the market without having the models disappear?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your best bet is to play around with the threshold setting.
Use low threshold settings when the image is generally dark, and use high threshold setting when the image is very bright. (standard is 120)
also, it helps that the light source is not overly bright, which does have tendencies to mess up the image.
Additionally i attach the marker to clips, bookmarks, cards, (etc etc) to ensure that the shadows from my fingers dont fall onto the marker pattern which does have the capability to mess up the image as well.

what exactly do you need to type for the pmm path?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the full location of the .pmm file that you want to play.
So it will be something like

Ok I got the camera screen to finally come on.. But when I move the pattern in front of the webcam nothing happens and I've set the threshhold as high as it will go
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that may be the problem. You need to balance it out so that the threshold is just right.
High - pattern is visible even when it appears very light
Low - pattern is visible even when the surroundings are very dark.
Normally its about 120. So, adjust accordingly

Question :
- I'm using a pc with windows 7 32bit, if I want to use this, do I have to connect a webcam on my pc?
- Does this program required or need a webcam for the use?
I'm still confused, but I really have to know.
Thanks in advance
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. This program needs a webcam. So youre going to need to find one i suppose.
If you dont have a webcam, but you have a microphone, you can try MMDAgent

There may be two causes:
1 - you might want to update your version of mikumikudance to v739 directX version.
2 - If your mikumikudance is already v739 directX, then the next thing thats supposed to show up is loading of the Shadow map. Some graphics cards/computers cant handle high bits. So, change the settings of the shadow map resolution and shadow map precision to other values. If 2048x2048 (2) resolution and 32 bit precision dont work, try 512x512 (0) resolution and 8 bit precision or 4 combinations of those settings.
My 64 bit windows home premium is using 512x512 resolution at 32 bits precision

Thanks! Got it working now!!

which was the problem actually? version739 or the Shadow Map?

so whats the error? I need more information to help you out
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Each time I load an effect where rose pedals would fall and scatter, the ARToolkit would crash. Testing this out says that it is the cause of completely crashing the program, and not some other model in the ".pmm". Here is is in use: [link]
For some reason, I cannot get this to work with all the attempts I've tried. Know anything that might help?

Thank you very much for this tutorial! I have be experimenting with AR for a few weeks now for work. I have had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to get animations to work - thus I found this site.
Unfortunately, I cannot get very far with this. After step 11 I get a window that says the program is no longer responding - so it is crashing... It does not seem to matter how I edit the ini file.
relevant info:
windows vista 32 bit
antivirus disabled
user account control off
administrator
no parental blocks
2ghz intel dual core and 1gb vid vard
Webcam works with other programs - like flartoolkit
I copied the glut dll to my system folders
I'd really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

does it immediately crash when you run it, or does it load up the blackscreen? It would help if you tell me whats the last known message the blackscreen gives before it crashed.
make sure you install the .dll files in step 12 too.

here is a screengrab: [link]
I have not done step 12 because my pc is 32bit.

the thing that follows is the loading of the .pmm file. Certain items in .pmm files like some lazers, accessories and mikumikueffects are known to crash it.
I can confirm if youre trying to load up the allstars.pmm, it will crash.
try saving a new .pmm file and putting an animasa or lat model in it. just to test it out.

I have yet to play with pmms. My plan is to build models in Blender and export as pmms via a pluggin.
I have the ini set to find sample.pmm which I haven't heard anyone complain about.

yeah, same problem. Allstars is just sample.pmm with more models.
Just make a new .pmm file with a basic model without anything else. just for testing sake. I think the lazers in sample and allstars.pmm has issues
