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".

Real life has taken a toll on my free time. Now i'm more of doing mikumikudance models. At least i dont need any extra investment besides free time for that.

i'ts probably a stupid question XD but can you see the model whit you eyes and in all dimension if you not the pattern move
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you either move the marker or move the webcam.
its easier to move the marker though.

no i talk about you sorry i not good in english
so imagine you put the pattern on your desk and you turn around your desk are you can see the model in all dimension or i'ts flat ??

Its a webcam video, so there is nothing on the marker. But when you move the marker, the video will change. Go to near the end of the link i showed you and you should see.

i'm not too sure on how to deal with the external cameras though. Even mine didnt behave, so i had to use the integrated one.

why when i upload .pmm file it show error.

the thing that follows 'create texture' is 'create vertex buffer' (i have no idea what this is)
but as far as i know, .bmp and .png textures work fine. not too sure about .tga .ddx and .dss though
also, if youre using Allstars.pmm, it should malfunction (i'm not sure why though)
specifically, what model are you using to test this?

if the .pmm file has a .pmd file with a motion, then press 's' on your keyboard to start the motion. If it has a .wav file attached, the .wav file will start playing too.
pressing 's' again will pause it. Pressing 'r' will reset it. Press 'a' to make the model 50% transparent.

i need help what do you mean change the title of the pmm and the data folder i tried already and it keeps saying error cannot find test.pmm
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the default path for it to find a .pmm file to play is usually not existent.
In the settings.ini file (which openswith notepad) the default setting is:
PMMFileName C:\MikuMikuDance_v702\UserFile\test.pmm
You need to change it to the folder where you actually have a .pmm file you can actually play, such as:
PMMFileName D:\Programs\MikuMikuDanceE_v729\UserFile\the secret garden artoolkit2.pmm
Only then will it be able to load up any .pmm file at all. Or else, youre going to keep getting (cant find test.pmm)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok what your saying is that so for example i put test.pmm as the name then in the note pad i put the location
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. But in the notepad, you can just rename it to whatever .pmm file you have. It doesnt need to be named test.pmm

umm excuse me but why does it not allow me to check the flip horizontal box?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
can be webcam issues.
Some only allow you to flip it when you use either YUV2 or MJPG. Some may not allow you tyo flip image at all.
My general recommendation is to update your webcam drivers, but beyond that, i cant really recommend anything more.

Dear AddestorionVayanis,
I am currently facing the same problem as ~SunnyVaiprion who posted in feb 2012. I'm currently using a Microsoft Lifecam Cinema and pmm doesnt seem to load even though artoolkit_mmd works fine. any opinions?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
since that post i have discovered:
one is that the resolution you select is webcam dependent. Some resolutions are specific to each webcam. For me, 640x480 is the resolution which works fine. 640 x 400 loads up the image, but its hovering about 10 spacing grids above the marker, 1600x1200 will outright crash the artoolkit. I suggest playing around with the various resolutions to find the resolution which fits your webcam (it should be more or less identical to your webcam resolution)
Alternatively, its the treshhold settings (this was my original recommended solution). if its really bright, you set the markergreyscaletreshhold to a high value (200++) and if its very dark, a low low value. I suggest trying around with these settings first.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, couldnt find 640x400 XD but im guessing its 640x480? doesnt seem to work for me tho.. so what you are saying is that i should try to test the resolutions 1 by 1?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
sadly, yes. But generally the rule is that the multiples will work the same way (so for me, 640x480 and its x1.6 multiple, 1024x768, will work in the same manner)
alternatively, try updating directX. Seems that this is a new cause of failure which i have yet to encounter before.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
im guessing that there's something wrong with the marker.. will print the marker in the toolkit from ur link to test it out. might be the marker that is not registered
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the other thing which may mess it up is that after every word in the setting.ini file, from the word to the value, is separated by a TAB.
So simply using spacebars to space them apart will mess it up.
Also, make sure the marker is in full view and the dark parts all have the same 'darkness' on the webcam and all light parts have the same brightness.

just tried all resolutions and doesnt seem to work on all.. well, my first dl was from someone else who posted links on YT (similar to yours) except that he has made some minor changes, eg custom created marker and pmm.. doesnt seem to load the pmm. i have yet to print the marker for yours tho.
