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".

No wait nevermind I fixed it
but now i'm getting another error
something about scene_create.cpp

another question, it says it can't find the pmm file, and i renamed everything in the settings and its in the right area
can you please help me?

it will be possible for me to add even more models to that deviation. I scour niconicodouga quite often for new models. Still, i'll only do it if someone wants them.

do you know how to make more than one work at a time ?

unfortunately, no. There are versions like that which exist (seen them on youtube and niconicodouga), but i either:
1 - havent found a decent version yet
2 - the multi marker version i do have only displays multiple crappy models and it doesnt move
3 - even if it is a version that supports it, i dont know how to make them work
4 - i only know basic programming, so i cant modify the program to detect 2 or more markers.
But i have stopped trying to find better versions of this in favor of figuring out how mmdagent and ardesktop function

probably you may want to try step 12 then. If its windows 64 bit, then it should not work until you do step 12.
struggled with that part when i was trying to figure it out.

oh yeah i did that so copied and it said, overwrite so i said yes. i probably should note i have normal artoolkit installed, but its k im scared to run the program now, once i saw the big blue screen i was like (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ FUCK THIS TABLE!!!!!

lol, you can skip it because i added the direct link in step 3. So just use that.
I am just compelled to give credit to every resource i use.
Essentially, step 2 leads to the ARToolkit_MMD community page. Axfc is kind of like a japanese filesharing website that they use.

Hello! I have followed the directions to a T, up until step 12. I do have a 64-bit operating system and I followed the directions posted here. Windows does not give me an error "message" per-say, it just brings me to the black, DOS looking screen and then stops working, saying that the program has stopped responding. I have run through steps 1-12 multiple times, just to be sure, and I am at my wit's end. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
i can only think of two things at the moment (i am not a computer science person, and i just happened to make ARToolkit_mmd work by chance)
but these may be causing it:
User Account Controls, it should be turned off, or you run the ARToolkit as an administrator (not too sure about this)
or
the .dll file may be messed up. You could download it from google (mine i got from www.dll-files.com). Additionally, you may want to read their 'installing .dll files' section. There's a command you can run to make sure the .dll file has been registered.
or
Your webcam may not be working (this screwed me up once)
although, i get a funny feeling you joined deviantart just to leave the comment after watching the video on youtube. lol. Currently getting MMDAgent to work.

erhm... sorry to bother you with more issues, but I have followed all the other error solutions (THANK YOU FOR THOSE) and am currently stuck on this one (I guess there *is* a disadvantage to liking something a bit obscure and foreign: very little support.): an error that has something to do with SceneCreate.cpp (I can't find any good Japanese OCR programs to translate teh text in the error message...). It occurs right after CMD says "-create textures..." any help you could give me would be GREAT. thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
questions: what models are you using, and what pmm file are you trying to load?
would help if you also told me whats your version of mikumikudance you have
but judging by your join date... i'm thinking you saw the video on youtube and downloaded all the latest versions of mmd and artoolkit. lol... correct me if i'm wrong. i want to compile every known issue with this program

answers (
I have the latest and absolute last version of MikuMikuDance, the English version 739.
You're half right. XP I have had MMD since late 2010, and I tried this a few months ago (with the same versions and errors) and pursued other interests after succeeding in the inferior ARTK_MMD. Then I was browsing YouTube, saw your video, and the interest was brought back. So, like you said, I joined DeviantArt and commented for that purpose, as I am desperate and cannot find other resources (but kudos on the great tutorial!). I have the latest version of ARtoolkit_MMD. I think what I'll do is browse through the error files and check which one contains the specific error, translate it, and post it here. I wonder if it has anything to do with the C++ run environment...
Oh, and thanks for the quick reply!

I've partially isolated the problem.
Although I do not speak Japanese, if that wasn't evident, I assumed that the '553' was referring to the line number in the file 'scene_create.cpp'.
I opened the file, went to line 553, and et voila, it presented an error handler dealing with textures.
here's the handler:
if( FAILED(pD3DDevice->CreateTexture(
(UINT)m_size_sm.x, (UINT)m_size_sm.y,
1,
D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET,
D3DFMT_A32B32G32R32F,
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,
&m_pTexture_sm,
NULL)))
{
ERROR_EXIT("Scene : シャドウマップ用フローティングバッファ(32bit)の作成に失敗しました");
return E_FAIL;
}
here's teh error message (translated by Google):
"Buffer for floating shadow map (32bit) failed to create a"
not translated: "Scene : シャドウマップ用フローティングバッファ(32bit)の作成に失敗しました"
oh, and by the way, I am running XP Service Pack 3, 32-bit.
Also, the links are very touchy, like you said. The 's' in 'Sc' MUST be capitalized, and teh other two lowercase. ;D
Thanks again!

hmm... odd... I thought I posted a comment. I guess not. Anyways, it basically said "yays, I got it to work! and all I had to do was change 'ShadowMapPrecision' from '32' to '8'! Yays!" XP
...
...and now I'm trying to get it to work on a different computer (Vista, 32-bit)... only to have it suddenly stop after '--Effect\Copy.fx...done.'
It gives me the non-descript 'ARToolkit_MMD.exe has stopped working' will the inevitable buttons which close the program. Yippee.

As an update, I tried editing the Setting.ini to turn off the ARToolKit setting and the program opened and imported the model with a grey background. So, I have concluded that there is something wrong with the ARToolKit part of the program, at least for me. What could be wrong?

Hey! I finaly finds a good tutorial on how to get this an im sooo close to finish this! But I need some help.
First of all, you have given me 2 links for th ARToolKit_MMD, witch one do I use?
2:nd, When I run the ARToolKit_MMD I get this window where I can change framerate ect. But when I klick ok it says it cant load the .pmm. ARToolKit is lloking for the v702 of the MMD but the one I downloaded is v739. Ive tried to change the #MMDDataFolderName to v739 but it wont help...
Please what do I do?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Since the ARToolKit is looking for the v702 (In the setting.ini, by standrard) I guess the ARToolKit_MMD is outdated. Cuz the Mikumikudance that you told me to download in v739... What do you think? Do you understand my problem? Does it work for you?
Sorry for beeing annoying but I really want this to work.
/Thx

you can directly click on the link in step 3. that is the direct download link. The link in step 2 is the community page where i found the link in step 3. I insist on giving full credits to the group.
as for question 2, there are a number of things you can try...
you just need to rename the path in the setting.ini file to v739 (i still use v739). remember that there's an underscore and not a spacebar in the name (mikumikudance_v739).
also, you need the full pathway to your mikumikudance folder. If you saved your mikumikudance in some funny arrangement of folders, you need to give its exact path or else it wont work.
check the complete spelling of the paths. Sometimes even i can misspell one alphabet and that causes the .pmm file to not load. (you could tell me what it currently says)
finally, try to make a new .pmm file with your own model. Allstars.pmm have effects which will not load.

Thanks for helping me out, I arreciate.
Ive extracted MMD and ARTool to the desktop just to make this simple. Path for data:
C:\\Users\Lars\Desktop\MikuMikuDanceE_v739\Data
Path for pmm: C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\MikuMikuDanceE_v739\UserFile\sample.pmm
(I cant find anything called test.pmm in mmd so I set it to sample.pmm)
But now I got something else in the black screen: "can't open PMD file."
Its looking at the path: HB\Download\MikuMikuDanceE_708a\UserFile\Model\Dammy_Bone.pmd
and theres alot of worng things in that path, its not looking for v739, and its not even looking in the MMD! But Ive found the Dammy_Bone.pmd in the MMD. How do I change this path? Cant find it in the setting.ini
Thanks again, and sorry to bother you with this!

uh.... there shouldnt be two forward slashes in front of the C:
yours:
C:\\Users\Lars\Desktop\MikuMikuDanceE_v739\Data
should be:
C:\Users\Lars\Desktop\MikuMikuDanceE_v739\Data

I just made a big breakthrough!
I made a new .pmm, (only Rin standing still, dont know how to get her to move >.<)
Anyways now it works!
Guess its something with the sample.pmm and the sapmle(AllStar).pmm. You said something about deleting the stage and two dammy_bones? Where do i find these? Are they in the .pmms? If so, how do I open the .pmms?
/Thanks!

lol.... it just started out as a personal reference whenever i'm not online on my own computer. no idea such a tutorial was never done for this build of artoolkit_mmd.
maybe i might do vmdspectrum after i guess what every other kanji character in it does. i dont know japanese, i just guess. for artoolkit, i just mashed the whole keyboard before i figured out buttons a, s and r did anything.

its a shame that it drains so much of processor and graphics card performance. Its so hard to get decent recording off it. ESPECIALLY when you have those 19 or so models dancing to it.
MikuMikuEffect wont work on it, but VMDSpectrum and Zbyl's X Exporter for google sketchup works on it.

I wasn't really expecting to get a recording from it, since by camstudio goes berserk whenever I use it anyways DX, I did get a very nice picture out of it thought,
[link] . I also got a full-sized rin to dance, but she kept on randomly disappearing and coming back at random, but I probably just needed a bigger marker
VMD spectrum sounds cool, but by safety mode won't let me look at the reference list on youtube ;A;

yeah, seen it. youre the first to actually credit me, lol.
i'm still trying to locate a different marker pattern file, notably the one used in this video:
[link]
The present marker needs to detect that tiny gap between the black square, which cant easily be detected when that marker is far away from the webcam. The one in the link seems to be better since it doesnt have that small gap.
