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".

got it. The thing that follows it is effect/ShadowMap.fx
open the setting file and then change the shadow map setting. Try 32, 16 and then finally 8 bit. This may work

try out MMDAgent as well. I'm having a lot more fun with it than ARToolkit now though, since that program allows me to test models real quickly against almost all my motion datas without having to wait much.
The programming up to that point however.... was another story. lol

from what i think... you probably arent using a 64 bit version of windows are you?
Regardless, just google that .dll file. You should be able to find a download on dll-files.com and instructions on how to install it.
thats how i originally fixed mine before i noticed that artoolkit_MMD provided the files i needed.

left comment on the scrap.
[copypasted comment here]
line 142 of the C++ code ARWrapper.cpp shows the following:
// カメラデバイスの初期化
if ( arVideoOpen(m_cameraConfigFileName) < 0 ) {
ERROR_EXIT("ARtoolKit : カメラデバイスファイル(*.xml)の読み込みに失敗したか、または、カメラデバイスの初期化に失敗しました");
return E_FAIL;
}
Translation:
//Initialization of the camera device
Camera device file (*. xml) or failed to load, or the device failed to initialize the camera
so, it pretty much explains whats wrong. I suggest turning off the droidcam application. Or testing if the webcam is suffering from any errors. But probably its due to the droidcam thing. i dont recall successfully running two programs which need the webcam at the same time

It works with the program it comes with. Would dell webcam central work with my webcam?

well, essentially any program that can validate that its not your webcam causing the problem.
does that webcam come with weird features or something? They may need to be turned off.
Maybe you could google your webcam brand/model and see if similar issues exist.

OMMFG THANK YOU SOOO EFFING MUCH FOR WRITING THIS TUTORIAL!
I'm serious. You're like a freaking god-send or something.
Anyway, I posted what I was able to do just now on DA [link] and YT [link] crediting you for this amazing tut in both places~

lolz, i'm not really a credit demanding freak, but the more people know about stuff like this, the higher the odds are that some programmer will improve on its sourcecode.
Perhaps someday it will merge with MMDAgent.
Perhaps someday, i wont need to talk to actual people anymore. lol

to be fair, the japanese managed to gather their own culture of non-communicative communication.
Idolm@ster lasted this long, so it will only be a matter of time before they start considering using AR in their games.

Of course, of course. I can't wait to see what it evolves into in the future, it has SO much potential!
I was just making a silly comment about how if Miku turned around and said something non-programed in the middle of a dance I was trying. Cool or not, it would be quite unexpected. XD

I just love being lazy and saying 'Momo, emairu!' instead of having to zomg click on it haha.
Helps practice my accented Japanese, too~
That's why I make terrible vids and flail around with these things... It may be old already when I come across it, but that doesn't mean it isn't still pretty obscure. If I end up enlightening 3 people, that's cool. But I couldn't get random foreign beta things to work half the time without peeps like you who explain it in *real* English. My limited Japanese combined with a retarded Google Translate aren't much help when it gets down to the technical bits. T__T

did you type in the path to the .pmm file correctly?
it has to be accurate down to the letter, but it doesnt matter if it is in capital letters or not.

its where you saved your MikuMikuDance program to
For example, i saved my mikumikudance program to D drive, in the folder programs, so step 7 will look like this:
# MMDの"Data"フォルダへのパス
# (MMD標準のトゥーンファイルを差し替えたい場合のみ、セットしてください。)
#MMDDataFolderName D:\Programs\MikuMikuDanceE_v729\Data
The .pmm file i'ld like to play is in D drive, in programs folder, in mikumikudance_v29 folder, in Userfile folder, so the path will look something like this:
## MMD関連の設定
# PMMファイル名
PMMFileName D:\Programs\MikuMikuDanceE_v729\UserFile\the secret garden artoolkit.pmm
hope it works...
