I already used that page but... I put that vmd and downloaded it. It doesn't let me vmd, it's more of a fake GTA game. Sandra GTA 6, that VMD doesn't work, you have to do something with a program
A couple of years ago i was looking for something just like this, finally it exists!! If i figure out everything i might make a tutorial on how to convert to mmd from the free version
I have a few questions... - Does this work for fighting motions? - Does this work for creature motions? (Kaiju fights for example) - Can we use footage from movies for motion data as well?
Yes it works as long as the reference in the video has human build. If its not, I don't think it will work or I might be wrong. For more information, I suggest joining their discord server. You can use footage from movies but the camera angle should be fixed. I used quickmagic before using a 2d anime video as reference and it worked.
I love this! Though I do prefer to animate manually cause there’s a charm to it. Mo-cap while useful is sort of a quick work around but something like this can shorten animation time by a lot… great video man! ❤
Thanks! Yeah this can definitely shorten the animation time. I remembered animating manually the MMD VFX tutorial and it took me around 2 months to finish the whole damn tutorial lol If I knew this before, I could have finish it faster
It is a pity that the site cannot provide a full test period of use in order to familiarize itself with it and, alas, it is impossible to buy a subscription in Russia😥
I see. I don't know there was a restriction in Russia. You can join their discord server and ask if there's a way for them to make it available in your region
so i tried it out, spent $10 one. i give score of result's quality = 5/10 so it's still quite clunky... i feel like this tech needs more time to develop. may be we need 2-5 years more but overall was amazing enough
If it weren't for the fact that the premium time limit is only 120 seconds and it still can't be used with multiple people, this would have worked for me
I tried it and it was awesome! I tried to retarget its animation to other models, but it didn't work well. I think they made sure of that so we'll purchase it. (Fair enough). I'll try the first month though.
Yeah, try only for a month then decide after if you like to continue. I think they added half body, face and hand motions since I made this video and planning to add more
Hi! It's my first time commenting on the channel but I've watched your video tutorials before. Great stuff, man! ^_^ Since a lot from the comments were not able to convert the animation to vmd since it's behind a paywall, can you make the tutorial on how to convert the fbx format from Blender into vmd?
Hi, As much as I would love to, but doing that can affect how the algo will label my channel. If I make a blender tutorial and it gets some traction, it will label my channel as a blender channel instead of MMD which will recommend my videos to people who uses blender instead of MMD and the views will drop since those people aren't interested in MMD(It happened to me last year and its not a good experience). I can't risk it but what I can suggest to you is learn how to retarget animation using Rokoko Plugin in blender then after that, convert the motion in vmd using mmd tools plugin in blender as well. There are already a ton of tutorials to do that so I don't think I need to add another one regarding the topic. Hope that helps
@@theweebdev Hi again! So I took ypur advice and learn retargeting animations. I'm stuck on the part that I don't know what I should do next. How to save the retargeted motion in blender and convert it to VMD? I already have the plugin but when I tried to convert it and use it in MMD, nothing happens as if it is a blank animation. I tried finding any tutorial videos here on YT but I can't find any.
@@fromis_purin- You have to rename the bones of your mmd model in english if its written in japanese / chinese to match the bone names of the fbx before retargeting the animation so they will match. Before exporting it to vmd, play the animation first in blender so you can see if the motion retargeting is successful
@@theweebdev The bones are in English. Also, retargeting is successful as I tried to play the animation on Blender too and it works perfectly. Only it did noy work on MMD when exported as vmd as if it is a blank motion. Is there a step I am missing?
They can't offer everything for free but only some features are. They need to pay in order to maintain the service as well (server, services, employees, maintaining the website, etc.) and it requires high computing power. There's a workaround and you can also do it for free but it will just take you more effort. Export the motion as "fbx" which is the default motion in blender format then use rokoko plugin to retarget the animation then export it as vmd in blender by using the mmd tools plugin. That is free using their app but requires more steps. They even have face and hand motion capture now. If you find value and convenience to their service, you can consider getting a plan but you can always go the free route which others are doing.
Hello, I have a question Do you think it can work with, non realstic motions? Something like an anime character walking, and converting that walk into vmd Or it only works with realistic videos
Wow, thanks for this tutorial ! I was wondering how the F I was going to creat original motion data, and tracing seemed like the most cheap option, but this is perfect !!! Especially with vmd native format omg
Yeah and the app is still improving. Haven't tried it yet but I've seen that they added facial expressions and half-body motions and now testing hand motions
Thank you very much. The video is great. What is "Captcha" when creating a Quick Magic account? Please let me know because you will need it when you create an account.
It is used for verification. Click 'Send' button where you input your email address. It will then send a 4 digit number to your email. Open your email, get the 4 digit number sent to you via email and paste it in the "Captcha" input

It can only do 30 seconds of animation. So it's only for short stuff like tiktok and such. Unless you want to upload 30 seconds of your clip. It also can't do groups or chibis 😢
They have a 1 minute version and also if you want to make for example a three minute video, you can simply cut the video into 3 parts and upload the video separately and combine their motion in MMD. For example, the first part of the video is 30 seconds which will end at frame 1800 so for the second part of the video, you can start the motion at frame 1801. They are still developing the other features at the moment such as group and half body motion so it will be available later
I hope future updates includes a minute length and multiple people. I really like this app before using it ( I have to pay yet but I'm saving now so no worries ) .
@@theweebdev I would pay to get that feature as long as it's good. I'm slowly getting back to MMD but my drive to animate what's in my head is slowly losing...
@@ErenYeager-zf3td I suggest joining their discord server so you can get updates when they release new one and also there are a lot of mmders there using the software
I love your thorough tutorials, but I'll tell ya right now that if you really want a sense of accomplishment, AI ain't gonna cut it. There's nothing like that feeling of triumph after your own effort! Your own blood, sweat, and tears! ...Also, I can't imagine what it'd be like to render a much longer video with bones registered at literally every keyframe. 😬
I don't use AI to feel a sense of accomplishment, I use it as a TOOL just like we use cars instead of horse to go to places or using phones to send a message instead of sending letters via mail or doves. I am a Software Engineer irl so I don't see things black and white like we need to use this and not that. I use tools to make the process for me and my clients easier. The technology is there so we can't stop it but we can incorporate it in our processes just like what we always do as humans when new technologies arise. Btw, my tutorials that you like to watch uses AI voice because I'm shy irl and my voice sucks but the scripts, recording, editing, etc. and all the hard work and sleepless nights trying to finish the tutorial on time were made by me. Just like what is said in the last episode of Frieren: "Magic is just a tool, there's no liking or disliking it". They can punch each other to fight or they can use magic to accomplish their task whichever is easier
Yes, It requires high computing power and requires a lot to maintain the service so they can't offer everything for free but there's a work around but it will require effort in your end. Export the motion created as Default(fbx) then in blender use Rokoko plugin to retarget the animation to your model then export the motion as vmd using mmd tools plugin in blender as well. If you find value and convenience with the service, you can get the plan so you don't have to put much effort, but there's always the option to go to the free route. They also just updated it today so you can do half body motion and facial capture. It will get more and more features as time goes
@@andreathehedgehog fixed camera would be ideal but I tried it to some videos where camera is moving a little and it works. As you can see in the tutorial, the video that I used is moving a little but it still captures the motion
You can do it for free but it will take effort on your part. Export the motion as fbx and use rokoko plugin in blender to retarget the animation then after that, export as vmd using mmd tools plugin. That is free way to do it but if you find value to their service, you can consider buying their plan which gives direct conversion to vmd. They can't give everything for free because the have to pay to maintain the servers and website and also pay their employees. They are also continuing the development of the app like for example, they already have face and hand motion capture which is not present when I made this video.
Excellent tutorial, as always :3 ♥ I started using QuickMagic recently, if I knew you had a code I would have used it when creating the account :c I didn't know about hand positions and blinking! It helps me a lot, I love you! You saved me tons of hours (I started doing motions recently and my hands were taking a lot of time)
Ah I know the feeling. Animating fingers is very time consuming because you have to move each bone then after a few frames you have to change it again. I'm glad I was able to help you ♥
I don't have in my channel but Blender channels have a lot of videos regarding the topic. First, study how to retarget animation using Rokoko plugin in blender then export the motion using mmd tools plugin in blender
@@hollyberry123 if you want the vmd format, you need to buy it but if you want the free version which is the fbx format for blender then convert to vmd, you need rokoko plugin to retarget the animation then export its as vmd in blender using mmd tools plugin. I see others use unity to do this as well but if you find value and convenience to their service you can just buy their plan. They have a lot of new features now as well like half body, face, and hand motion capture
Do you know of a way to get the images to be transparent? I want to get a character to do all these poses, but I want to remove the background. However, the character has bloom on him, so it's kind of annoying sometimes because the bloom gets selected when I do it in Photoshop.
If you want to remove the background so you can use it in photoshop, go to "background" then then select black background. After that export the image as png and it will give you a transparent background
As much as I love this it sucks that the max you can do even at the highest price is a little under a minute, but I guess even if you can't combine a bunch of vmd files into one thing you can record the different sections and combine the videos together and hopefully it isn't too janky. Correct me if I'm wrong everybody, also thanks for the invitation code.
I remember they have 120 secs before but its for annual. I don't know if that's still available but yeah you can upload a video in parts and combine the vmd files later in MMD. They've added face and hand motions and other features since I made this video
@@meh4371 if for example you have 240s video, you can cut the video into 2 separate video 120s each and upload it on quickmagic separately. Once you have the vmd motion for each video, go to mmd load the vmd for the first part of the video then for example if it ends at frame 3600, go to frame 3601 and load the other vmd for the 2nd part
I see your new sona and I love it! Question, since it's definitely a vroid model, how do you get it ready in mmd for videos? I have a few but it feels like they're missing things compared to the MMD model I downloaded for animation practice.
First, I convert the model from vrm to pmx using vrm2pmx converter. Then, fix the broken texture using an image editor. After that, I rename and regroup the bones and facial morph in pmx editor because vroid kinda group everything into one so I have to fix that
@@EeveelutionStorm ok just give me some time so I can collect some topics and put them together to make a tutorial video. Might take a while because I'm still learning pmx editor
You don't have to like or dislike it, use it like a tool to speed up the process like for example, you can calculate something(tangent of 45 degrees, square root of 156737, etc.) from scratch or you can use a calculator. Calculator can make it easier but that doesn't mean they can replace mathematician. We can't stop progress/technological advancement once it's out so we need to adapt and use it in our advantage
just what i need but it only allow uploading 30 second video or 90 second video for paid version. hopefully, it will allow even more uploading a standard 3 minute video in future (i don't mind paying though).
Yeah, they are continuously updating it. Just now I visited and they already have half body and face capture as well. For now, if you want to make a 3 mins long motion, cut the video into parts and upload them separately until you complete the whole motion
I just received their reply regarding this matter and they told me that their server can only handle up to 120 secs at the moment and will add that later when they add the hand capture feature
Bro, are you peeping my mind? how can you upload a tutorial simultaneously when I am trying to search for motion capture lecture today lol. Big thanks for it!!
You can import the motion to fbx file then use a blender plugin called rokoko plugin to retarget the animation to a model then export it as vmd using another blender plugin called mmd tools plugin. I saw someone use Unity as well but that one I don't know how he did that
hey, so uhm i have a question due to me using Quickmagic here when i first used it as a Free Subcriber it just gave me on Tutorial on how to Upload and set up and generates the Video it doesn't even let me chosen the VMD File as Format an it locked and i need to pay and upgrade for it
QuickMagic is only free on some features but if you want to use vmd, you need to pay because they need to earn to maintain the service since it uses a lot of computing power. There are work arounds that users do like exporting it as fbx for blender instead of vmd then retarget the animation using rokoko plugin and once done, they convert it to vmd using the mmd tools plugin in blender. Some use Unity to do that but I don't know the exact steps they made
People in the community write to me that sfm is more convenient and better than mmd, although I am still in favor of MMD, and what is your opinion, is it possible to make animations more efficiently in mmd than in sfm?
I don't know sfm(first time I heard of it) so I can't really give an informed opinion which is better but when it comes to software, I don't pick sides. I pick whichever is more easy for me to use and that is different for every person. Sfm could be better but if I'm more comfortable using MMD, I'll stick to it
Thanks for the tutorials, they're very useful. I was wondering what's the name of the BGM used in this video and the MMD Effects video? It's absolutely catchy.
I actually don't know because I bought this in unity asset store a few years ago. The package is an jrpg bgm pack and the file name is just named battle1.mp3
You just have to upload the video in Avi format like what I did in this tutorial. You need to compress the video to lower it's file size because MMD doesn't work with videos with large file size
Ive been trying to use quickmagic but nothing is working, my quickmagic looks nothing like yours and im confused. Im also stupid so that prolly doesnt help when I upload videos it tells me to detect the character and when i do it only does it for a frame edit:somehow i used all my credits trying to get it to work ;-; im so dumbb
They made some changes with the UI when they added multi person feature. I suggest going to their discord server and ask them all the things you have encountered with their latest update
Lol this happens to be exactly how I have used Quickmagic with the hand poses and all. Thanks for the tips on using the 2D Refinement as I was too scared to figure that out on my own and also thanks for teaching me about the random blinking feature, did not know. Also my main issue with Quickmagic so far I have been dealing with is inaccuracies in arm movement and arms ghosting into the models body so I have been mostly reanimating the arms for now. Though it might also just be the models I typically use have bigger bodies/chests than traditional TDA Models. Any tips on fixing arm movements?
For the arm movements when my video is super clear, I'm not having issues but there are some inaccuracies sometimes. What I do is remove 5 frames before and after where the inaccuracy is located then twist the bone in the correct direction to have a smooth transition
the fact that it's ai-powered makes me really hesitant, since ai has been known to use huge amounts of power and water, and is currently worsening the state of our planet :( is it listed somewhere what the effects of this program/their ai are?
@@eudocia5753 I have a lot of tutorials regarding raymmd in my channel and if you already watch those, I think you have a pretty good idea how to use it. Rendering a stage is just the same as rendering a model, so just have to assign different materials to different parts of the stage as well. I don't use any special lighting, everything I use is in the tutorials I made
Need to subscription to use vmd now but there's a workaround but it takes time to make. Export the motion as fbx instead of vmd then in blender use Rokoko plugin to retarget the animation then export the motion as vmd using MMD tools plugin
If you want it free, you can import the motion to fbx file in quickmagic then use a blender plugin called rokoko plugin to retarget the animation to a model then export it as vmd using another blender plugin called mmd tools plugin. I saw someone use Unity as well but that one I don't know how he did that
Since this tutorial doesn't work now, beacuse we need to pay to use that AI I have seen that you suggest using rokoko addon in blender to transfer the animation to mmd Do you think you can make a tutorial about that? I have been trying and I always fail because there is not enough information :(
I've seen a lot of Rokoko plugin tutorial so me putting another one out of hundreds of tutorials available in the same topic will just make the algo bury my video and also I have a mmd channel, I don't want to confuse the algorithm thinking I'm a blender channel then recommends my other videos to people who uses blender and have no interest with my other videos. Sorry but I'm not taking that risk
maybe there's some problems after their latest maintenance. I suggest you go to their discord server and ask for assistance. They'll even refund your coin if they found that its an error on their part
They are currently developing multi-person feature. It will be available later. Since the upload of this video, they already added face and hand motion capture as well. They also have half-body motion
I don't know if I understand your question correctly but if you want to see the animation you created moving around without opening MMD or blender, quickmagic now has a new feature named qm animator where you can test your animations on their website
@@gustavochavarria8161 Ah I see, there is none. You have to make your own motion by uploading a video then it will convert the video into an animation file
Ah they can't give every option for free because it uses high computing power it has cost to maintain. However, there's a work around. You can use the "Default version" and it will export the motion as fbx which is for blender. Then, use Rokoko plugin in blender to retarget the animation in your mmd model. Then when its done, export the motion as vmd using the mmd plugin for blender. Its more complicated route and time consuming but its free
@@theweebdev thanks for the workaround master. I've improved a lot seeing your videos. You can see how well it made my channel jump from 0 to 900 subscribers in 21 days with over 100k views in total. Your tutorials are magical

@@Dontlook832 You can the the free route but it takes effort on your side. Download the motion in fbx format and retarget the animation using rokoko plugin in blender. When you successfully retargeted the animation, export it as vmd using mmd tools plugin in blender. I see other ways to do it as well like using unity, etc.
You need subscription for direct conversion to vmd. You can do it for free by exporting the motion in fbx then retargeting the animation using Rokoko plugin in blender then export it as vmd using MMD tools plugin
Hi! This tutorial seems very useful but when I load the motion downloaded into the file, it says that it only uses vocaloid motion data files when it allows me to click on the vmd file? Sorry if my wording is confusing, I'll try to fix this If possible and I'm not sure if it applies for every motion I can download.
If you are referring to the vmd format, I asked them about this and they said it requires payment because they need to maintain the service and it requires high computing power. You can still export for free but in fbx format(for blender) which is what a lot of people are doing now. First export the motion as vmd then in blender, retarget the animation using rokoko plugin and once its done, convert it to vmd using the mmd tools plugin in blender

@@theweebdev could you please make a video guide explaining how to do this?
Hello, I have a question
Do you think it can work with, non realstic motions? Something like an anime character walking, and converting that walk into vmd
Or it only works with realistic videos
Yeah, I tried it with vtubers before and it worked
Wow, thanks for this tutorial ! I was wondering how the F I was going to creat original motion data, and tracing seemed like the most cheap option, but this is perfect !!! Especially with vmd native format omg
Yeah and the app is still improving. Haven't tried it yet but I've seen that they added facial expressions and half-body motions and now testing hand motions
Good turorial i learn much for mmd thanks You , you have a fantatic dances
Thanks! New tutorial coming soon. Have a nice day
Thank you very much. The video is great. What is "Captcha" when creating a Quick Magic account? Please let me know because you will need it when you create an account.
It is used for verification. Click 'Send' button where you input your email address. It will then send a 4 digit number to your email. Open your email, get the 4 digit number sent to you via email and paste it in the "Captcha" input
I was able to log in by entering a four-digit number. I'm glad you answered in a polite manner. Thank you for being genuine.

@@unwantedjeans1506 They can't offer everything for free but only some features are.

GOD BLESS YOU
Can't believe there was an AI tool for this all along. Yeah, thanks for teaching me that.
I also just learned about it this January. It saves time a lot
@@theweebdev Cool. BTW, have you ever heard of interpolation curves? They make movement a lot smoother
@@rickalbuquerque595 yes, you can ease in or ease out the movements to make the transition smooth
i don't know that was posible do this with motions!! i used to even buy them !! thank you
You're welcome! Now you can make them on your own. Happy weekends 😊
It can only do 30 seconds of animation. So it's only for short stuff like tiktok and such. Unless you want to upload 30 seconds of your clip.
It also can't do groups or chibis 😢
They have a 1 minute version and also if you want to make for example a three minute video, you can simply cut the video into 3 parts and upload the video separately and combine their motion in MMD. For example, the first part of the video is 30 seconds which will end at frame 1800 so for the second part of the video, you can start the motion at frame 1801. They are still developing the other features at the moment such as group and half body motion so it will be available later
Hello! Cool turorial! Can you also make a tutorial how to fix motions? The technobreak motion for example is so hard to fix
I hope future updates includes a minute length and multiple people. I really like this app before using it ( I have to pay yet but I'm saving now so no worries ) .
I think they're already working on that feature. I just don't know when they will finish it
@@theweebdev I would pay to get that feature as long as it's good. I'm slowly getting back to MMD but my drive to animate what's in my head is slowly losing...
@@ErenYeager-zf3td I suggest joining their discord server so you can get updates when they release new one and also there are a lot of mmders there using the software
@@theweebdev Couln't agree more with ya
I love your thorough tutorials, but I'll tell ya right now that if you really want a sense of accomplishment, AI ain't gonna cut it. There's nothing like that feeling of triumph after your own effort! Your own blood, sweat, and tears!
...Also, I can't imagine what it'd be like to render a much longer video with bones registered at literally every keyframe. 😬
I don't use AI to feel a sense of accomplishment, I use it as a TOOL just like we use cars instead of horse to go to places or using phones to send a message instead of sending letters via mail or doves. I am a Software Engineer irl so I don't see things black and white like we need to use this and not that. I use tools to make the process for me and my clients easier. The technology is there so we can't stop it but we can incorporate it in our processes just like what we always do as humans when new technologies arise. Btw, my tutorials that you like to watch uses AI voice because I'm shy irl and my voice sucks but the scripts, recording, editing, etc. and all the hard work and sleepless nights trying to finish the tutorial on time were made by me. Just like what is said in the last episode of Frieren: "Magic is just a tool, there's no liking or disliking it". They can punch each other to fight or they can use magic to accomplish their task whichever is easier
Not all heroes wear capes.. thanks for that!
@@theweebdevi have a question, I tried the program but it’s paying to convert your work into vmd right?
Yes, It requires high computing power and requires a lot to maintain the service so they can't offer everything for free but there's a work around but it will require effort in your end. Export the motion created as Default(fbx) then in blender use Rokoko plugin to retarget the animation to your model then export the motion as vmd using mmd tools plugin in blender as well. If you find value and convenience with the service, you can get the plan so you don't have to put much effort, but there's always the option to go to the free route. They also just updated it today so you can do half body motion and facial capture. It will get more and more features as time goes
@@theweebdev oh I see, I think I’m going to chose the fastest way for this.. 😅 thank you!
You dropped this: 👑
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OH MY GOD 💖 I AM ALREADY SO OVER MOTION TRACING (and I haven't been doing it that long) 😭
I know the feeling. I motion trace before and its was really challenging making it frame by frame
@@theweebdev does it still work if theres some camera movement? As long as the legs arent cut off? Or are fixed cameras much better
@@andreathehedgehog fixed camera would be ideal but I tried it to some videos where camera is moving a little and it works. As you can see in the tutorial, the video that I used is moving a little but it still captures the motion
Im not sure if im doing something wrong but it looks like you need to pay to make it an mmd file for the website now
You can do it for free but it will take effort on your part. Export the motion as fbx and use rokoko plugin in blender to retarget the animation then after that, export as vmd using mmd tools plugin. That is free way to do it but if you find value to their service, you can consider buying their plan which gives direct conversion to vmd. They can't give everything for free because the have to pay to maintain the servers and website and also pay their employees. They are also continuing the development of the app like for example, they already have face and hand motion capture which is not present when I made this video.
Excellent tutorial, as always :3 ♥
I started using QuickMagic recently, if I knew you had a code I would have used it when creating the account :c
I didn't know about hand positions and blinking! It helps me a lot, I love you! You saved me tons of hours (I started doing motions recently and my hands were taking a lot of time)
Ah I know the feeling. Animating fingers is very time consuming because you have to move each bone then after a few frames you have to change it again. I'm glad I was able to help you ♥
By the way, I'm in love with your model haha XD, how did you convert it to pmx? With Unity, with VRoid2pmx or with VRM2PMXConverter?
@@LazerBunnyVT I use vrm2pmx converter then fix the wrong texture using an image editor(inkscape)
is there any tutorial for fbx motion to vmd? :0
I don't have in my channel but Blender channels have a lot of videos regarding the topic. First, study how to retarget animation using Rokoko plugin in blender then export the motion using mmd tools plugin in blender
Thankyou❤❤
I don't see a .vmd file, it just shows up as "3D object" when I unzip it. Am I doing something wrong???
you need to select the mmd model in the model selection(Export File Type) in quick magic to get the vmd file
@@theweebdev do I need the pro version?
@@hollyberry123 if you want the vmd format, you need to buy it but if you want the free version which is the fbx format for blender then convert to vmd, you need rokoko plugin to retarget the animation then export its as vmd in blender using mmd tools plugin. I see others use unity to do this as well but if you find value and convenience to their service you can just buy their plan. They have a lot of new features now as well like half body, face, and hand motion capture
@@theweebdev Thanks so much!
yes. i get a new idea from your video
Do you know of a way to get the images to be transparent? I want to get a character to do all these poses, but I want to remove the background. However, the character has bloom on him, so it's kind of annoying sometimes because the bloom gets selected when I do it in Photoshop.
If you want to remove the background so you can use it in photoshop, go to "background" then then select black background. After that export the image as png and it will give you a transparent background
As much as I love this it sucks that the max you can do even at the highest price is a little under a minute, but I guess even if you can't combine a bunch of vmd files into one thing you can record the different sections and combine the videos together and hopefully it isn't too janky.
Correct me if I'm wrong everybody, also thanks for the invitation code.
I remember they have 120 secs before but its for annual. I don't know if that's still available but yeah you can upload a video in parts and combine the vmd files later in MMD. They've added face and hand motions and other features since I made this video
@@theweebdev Ok, how does the VMD file combining work? I'd probably figure it out myself after poking around a bit but still.
@@meh4371 if for example you have 240s video, you can cut the video into 2 separate video 120s each and upload it on quickmagic separately. Once you have the vmd motion for each video, go to mmd load the vmd for the first part of the video then for example if it ends at frame 3600, go to frame 3601 and load the other vmd for the 2nd part
@@theweebdev Ok Gotcha, simple but clever and easy to end up googling the answer, anyways thanks.
I see your new sona and I love it!
Question, since it's definitely a vroid model, how do you get it ready in mmd for videos? I have a few but it feels like they're missing things compared to the MMD model I downloaded for animation practice.
First, I convert the model from vrm to pmx using vrm2pmx converter. Then, fix the broken texture using an image editor. After that, I rename and regroup the bones and facial morph in pmx editor because vroid kinda group everything into one so I have to fix that
@@theweebdev Okay thank you! If you ever make a tutorial on that, I'd be extremely interested.
@@EeveelutionStorm ok just give me some time so I can collect some topics and put them together to make a tutorial video. Might take a while because I'm still learning pmx editor
@@theweebdev Oh heck yeah, thank you! Your tutorials have been helpful!
uhh the website updated i think i cant export vmd
oh i need to pay-
Hmmm...now you kinda got me curious. Even though I'm kinda adverse to AI but this could be what folks could want.
You don't have to like or dislike it, use it like a tool to speed up the process like for example, you can calculate something(tangent of 45 degrees, square root of 156737, etc.) from scratch or you can use a calculator. Calculator can make it easier but that doesn't mean they can replace mathematician. We can't stop progress/technological advancement once it's out so we need to adapt and use it in our advantage
thanks im gonna make a motion dl
Oh, hi
oooomg thank youuuuu!!!!!
can you make a PMX model export tut because i export my model but suddenly it turn invisible
From what format did you convert your model to pmx?
just a Pmx format
Oh the music !!
Ik it
Is from hentai game from “Tobihime - interbreed flying princess”
Its a generic bgm song that you can buy from the unity asset store so maybe that game you are talking about used the same music that I bought there
Yaaaaay! Thank you for your hard work! お疲れ様！ありがとう🍡❤️
Thanks Mochina-sensei! I can finally watch your videos now that this is done. Have a nice day! ❤️

Thanks! Happy weekends 🥰🥰🥰
just what i need but it only allow uploading 30 second video or 90 second video for paid version. hopefully, it will allow even more uploading a standard 3 minute video in future (i don't mind paying though).
Yeah, they are continuously updating it. Just now I visited and they already have half body and face capture as well. For now, if you want to make a 3 mins long motion, cut the video into parts and upload them separately until you complete the whole motion
I just received their reply regarding this matter and they told me that their server can only handle up to 120 secs at the moment and will add that later when they add the hand capture feature
This is actually pretty useful! Thx!
Thanks! Glad you like it ☺️
Bro, are you peeping my mind? how can you upload a tutorial simultaneously when I am trying to search for motion capture lecture today lol. Big thanks for it!!
hahaha our brain have the same wavelength
Now it is paid... Can you recommend any programs to convert movements?
You can import the motion to fbx file then use a blender plugin called rokoko plugin to retarget the animation to a model then export it as vmd using another blender plugin called mmd tools plugin. I saw someone use Unity as well but that one I don't know how he did that
DAT LITERALLY SOOO PRO FINDING THIS WAY OMG 😭
Though that i use it if i'm soo lazy lol
But TY AGAIN TUTORIAL KING👑 FOR THE TUTORIAL 😻
You're welcome! I learned this just this January as well when you saw me posting a lot of free motions
@@theweebdev OOOO I SEEE
hey, so uhm i have a question due to me using Quickmagic here when i first used it as a Free Subcriber it just gave me on Tutorial on how to Upload and set up and generates the Video it doesn't even let me chosen the VMD File as Format an it locked and i need to pay and upgrade for it
QuickMagic is only free on some features but if you want to use vmd, you need to pay because they need to earn to maintain the service since it uses a lot of computing power. There are work arounds that users do like exporting it as fbx for blender instead of vmd then retarget the animation using rokoko plugin and once done, they convert it to vmd using the mmd tools plugin in blender. Some use Unity to do that but I don't know the exact steps they made
Yeaaaaahhhhh made it in time! Nice job!
Thanks for coming bro 😃
This is truly amazing. but unfortunately I have problems with the payments ==! Omg
There's actually a work around using blender. You can read the comments section to check how to do it because I wrote it a lot of times
People in the community write to me that sfm is more convenient and better than mmd, although I am still in favor of MMD, and what is your opinion, is it possible to make animations more efficiently in mmd than in sfm?
I don't know sfm(first time I heard of it) so I can't really give an informed opinion which is better but when it comes to software, I don't pick sides. I pick whichever is more easy for me to use and that is different for every person. Sfm could be better but if I'm more comfortable using MMD, I'll stick to it
Omg I need this
Thanks for the tutorials, they're very useful. I was wondering what's the name of the BGM used in this video and the MMD Effects video? It's absolutely catchy.
I actually don't know because I bought this in unity asset store a few years ago. The package is an jrpg bgm pack and the file name is just named battle1.mp3
@@theweebdev Thanks a lot for the heads up! I'll dive into the Unity Asset Store and see if I can locate this particular piece.
Can you do a tutorial on how to make stage screens work?
Like adding a premade video or making it show what the camera is capturing
You just have to upload the video in Avi format like what I did in this tutorial. You need to compress the video to lower it's file size because MMD doesn't work with videos with large file size
What about mirrors do they work with mmd also? @@theweebdev
also where should I upload it I'm still new to mmd and stages and stuff I'm sorry if I'm annoying ;-;@@theweebdev
@@NeonTakwa what do you mean by mirror? If you mean an effect there's an existing mirror effect in mmd

Ive been trying to use quickmagic but nothing is working, my quickmagic looks nothing like yours and im confused. Im also stupid so that prolly doesnt help
when I upload videos it tells me to detect the character and when i do it only does it for a frame
edit:somehow i used all my credits trying to get it to work ;-; im so dumbb
They made some changes with the UI when they added multi person feature. I suggest going to their discord server and ask them all the things you have encountered with their latest update
Lol this happens to be exactly how I have used Quickmagic with the hand poses and all. Thanks for the tips on using the 2D Refinement as I was too scared to figure that out on my own and also thanks for teaching me about the random blinking feature, did not know.
Also my main issue with Quickmagic so far I have been dealing with is inaccuracies in arm movement and arms ghosting into the models body so I have been mostly reanimating the arms for now. Though it might also just be the models I typically use have bigger bodies/chests than traditional TDA Models. Any tips on fixing arm movements?
For the arm movements when my video is super clear, I'm not having issues but there are some inaccuracies sometimes. What I do is remove 5 frames before and after where the inaccuracy is located then twist the bone in the correct direction to have a smooth transition
@@theweebdev gotcha, that sounds like a good solution, thanks
the fact that it's ai-powered makes me really hesitant, since ai has been known to use huge amounts of power and water, and is currently worsening the state of our planet :( is it listed somewhere what the effects of this program/their ai are?
You can ask them directly in their discord server
sadly they locked the vmd motion behind a paywall
helpful as usual and could you make a video about how to render the stage
You mean render the stage in the thumbnail?
actually i don‘t know the ray and its lighting system well so most of time my stage rendering sucks
@@eudocia5753 I have a lot of tutorials regarding raymmd in my channel and if you already watch those, I think you have a pretty good idea how to use it.

@@theweebdev uh can i have a tutorial?
you must have Pricing to create a vmd file, you have to spend money to get Pricing

I saw someone use Unity as well but that one I don't know how he did that
Since this tutorial doesn't work now, beacuse we need to pay to use that AI
I have seen that you suggest using rokoko addon in blender to transfer the animation to mmd
Do you think you can make a tutorial about that? I have been trying and I always fail because there is not enough information :(
I've seen a lot of Rokoko plugin tutorial so me putting another one out of hundreds of tutorials available in the same topic will just make the algo bury my video and also I have a mmd channel, I don't want to confuse the algorithm thinking I'm a blender channel then recommends my other videos to people who uses blender and have no interest with my other videos.

No problem and I wish you a lovely day ☺️
How does it work when the video has more than one person dancing?
They are currently developing multi-person feature. It will be available later. Since the upload of this video, they already added face and hand motion capture as well. They also have half-body motion
Has there ever been an animation file to see characters running in all fours?
I don't know if I understand your question correctly but if you want to see the animation you created moving around without opening MMD or blender, quickmagic now has a new feature named qm animator where you can test your animations on their website
For example, the animation I was looking for is simular to Donkey Kong or King K. Rool in Smash Bros. If there is none, that's fine I thought I ask.
@@gustavochavarria8161 Ah I see, there is none. You have to make your own motion by uploading a video then it will convert the video into an animation file
To where Quickmagic? Is the log in there free?
@@gustavochavarria8161 watch the video
Thanks for the Tutorial, I've redeemed the code. got 50 V coins, Tho i am unable to use the VMD option.
Ah they can't give every option for free because it uses high computing power it has cost to maintain. However, there's a work around. You can use the "Default version" and it will export the motion as fbx which is for blender. Then, use Rokoko plugin in blender to retarget the animation in your mmd model. Then when its done, export the motion as vmd using the mmd plugin for blender. Its more complicated route and time consuming but its free

Sorry if my wording is confusing, I'll try to fix this If possible and I'm not sure if it applies for every motion I can download.
make sure you are exporting .vmd file in quickmagic and not the .fbx file because mmd only uses these file type
it doesnt work anymore? i mean did the website change..cause it did for me and i dont have the export thing like you do
If you are referring to the vmd format, I asked them about this and they said it requires payment because they need to maintain the service and it requires high computing power.
