MikuMikuDance with Kinect

[Helvilitic]

lol 02:08 how the hell did you manage to float in your apartment?! D:

[Shdaowclonejutsu]

Oooh! I thought I had to hook the kinect to the computer!!!!! You dont have to do you? you just likeuse the camera? To think I was having a hard time to the plugbinto it too!

[VoodooPuppies]

The tutorial in your description is the one I followed initially by the way, but it didn't help.

[VoodooPuppies]

Please upload a tutorial! I've been trying to do this for such a long time but it just won't work!!

[AaronChan458]

Wow, Kinect + MMD = Bizarre and Cool!

[artist2748]

I hav a kinect! Can someone plz tell me how to do this?

[LichKing887]

It seems that kinect has twitching problems or is it just you?

I have a kinect and I'm planning to use it

[Disastorm]

@LichKing887 Its the kinect.

[FicticiousAnimation]

This isn't going to work on character models like Sonic The Hedgehog is it?

[Disastorm]

@FicticiousAnimation If there is a Sonic model for MMD it should work. MMD models use the same bone structure which is why it should work for all of them I think.

[FicticiousAnimation]

@Disastorm Well, the X, Y, and Z axis move the bones in directions that don't correspond with Miku's movements. Example, Z may move Miku's arm up but it will move Sonic's arm at some ridiculous angle.

"Those of you who have seen me before, do I look a little different?"

My thoughts....."Maybe he got a hair cut..."

[Disastorm]

@NecroMasterSyl lol thanks glad someone liked my jokes. i was worried that they were too lame.

[NecroMasterSyl]

@Disastorm Nah, they were funny :D

[Keiko135791]

@ 2:08: duuuude you levitated! xD

[ImmortalNyanCat]

@pinkpatty10 You need the USB Kinect.

[SwirlPT]

She's drunk?

[pinkpatty10]

where do i plug it in on a laptop

[xXLyriczBabeXx]

Can i do two people at a time or just 1?

[FazzyPlaxProductions]

@xXLyriczBabeXx ATM, probably one. You'd likely need another kinect to have another one join (otherwise the kinect would get confused by the motions of two different people)

[meme123634]

omg i can do thats xDDD yesss!!!!

[meme123634]

@meme123634 do you have to use frames??

[Disastorm]

@meme123634 I havn't done it in awhile, I just remember you start recording and then you put your hands up like a square and it starts tracking your movements.

[IDKBAKAIDK]

Guys, use logic. Why would you need an xbox for the Kinect if your just going to plug it in to your computer, not your xbox.

[Madsme101]

Doing this. Im so excited.

[MrBlackDragon]

i dont know how you got it to work, it took me two hours to go through that guys 10 minute video and it just failed right at the end.

[pocky4evar]

wait.....YOU CAN DO THAT!? *grabs my kinect*

[chaseyoungismine]

im new to mikumikudance -not really new jsut in experianced- but what exactly is kinect? like.. without the xbox thing.. hooking it with mikumikudance im sure i can figure out though

[IDKBAKAIDK]

@chaseyoungismine The Kinect comes with a USB cable when you don't buy it from the xbox bundle, so if you buy a kinect you can hook it up to your computer.

[mommysgirlxx1]

can u bend the fingers or make the eyes blink or add another person or anything?

[Disastorm]

@mommysgirlxx1 On the plugin page there is an update that looks like it might control the fingers and improved control (eyes most likely won work though). I have not tried the updated version so I don't know what it does.

[puccarocks99]

lol it looks like rin is really col dand is shivering rlly hardcore XD

[MisoAmazingness]

dyu just need a kinect or an xbox also?

[Disastorm]

@MisoAmazingness you just need a kinect, no xbox required.

[fankyfashionmonkey]

how do u install it???

[woofwoofyoyo]

@fankyfashionmonkey I'm just guessing, but I think you just hook up your Kinect to your computer and download the version of MMD that is compatible with it.

[SakuraFoopets]

@woofwoofyoyo No, there's a bunch of stuff you have to download so it'll work. I wouldn't know what you need, though.

[kriShing07]

how can we install the plugin for the miku2 dance? to track the movements using the kinect? thanks!

[Uatemydoodle]

so jealous...

[chelseadigger]

can you send me the files plz that would be really gewd ^_^

[ForerunnerLuke]

If you can make an automatic installation process for all of this, I would very much appreciate it, along with many others in the MMD Community.

We are looking for a way to install everything that is required in a fast and effective method without having to follow a poorly translated guide.

My OS is Vista which proves to be a hassle. I beg of you to help.

[TheTerraTitan]

Do you need a special camera for this? Or can you use a regular webcam?

[Disastorm]

@TheTerraTitan You need the microsoft Kinect and a bunch of software/drivers, and MikuMikuDance program.

[TheTerraTitan]

@Disastorm

Curious, do you find MMD Kinect fun?

[Disastorm]

@TheTerraTitan its cool for the first times you do it, but I wish they had this for a 3d modeling program so that you can animate your characters with kinect! it would be so good and useful at the same time!  I'm programming some pc games and it would be great to animate my characters like that.
