Okay, I guess there would be a new use for all those littered journals in dA's gallery. I just heard about this so-called program called MikuMikuMoving.
Essentially, it is an 'advanced' version of MikuMikuDance produced by MoggProject. The features of MMM include a somewhat simpler interface and improved graphics. I say 'advanced' lightly, because it has a few bugs.
Someone had commented that MMM lags heavily, especially during render. In fact, the only way you could see the animation was to render AVI. Another one of the differences that MMM has from MMD is the lack of the physics engine, inability to turn off edge line, incompatibilty with Kinect, and not compatible with MikuMikuEffect. The program also cannot load .PMX models.
Yet, when I saw the screenshot for this program: http://fav.me/d4e7jt5 I am not sure.
The current version is v030.1 alpha by Mogg. The website is here: https://sites.google.com/site/moggproject/mmm It is in Japanese only, sorry.
Already there are some people switching to MMM in hopes of escaping drama and starting over. What is your opinion on MMM?
