WHAT IS MMD?
MikuMikuDance, commonly abbreviated to MMD, is a freeware animation program that lets users animate and create 3D animated movies, originally produced for the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku.
The MikuMikuDance program itself was programmed by Garnek (HiguchiM) and has gone through significant upgrades since its creation.
Its production was made as part of the VOCALOID Promotion Video Project (VPVP).

MikuMikuDance (DirectX9 Ver.) (5MB)
Always install the latest video card drivers, especially after reinstalling Windows. Drivers included with Windows may be out of date. In the future this may lead to the malfunctioning of the MMD, and to major problems with the MME.
Important! For MMD to work, Directx 9c drivers
must be installed.
Important! If the MMD does not start, or if you save a video from the MMD You get a strange error "there is not 'MMDxShow.dll in' Data ' folder. please download the newest ver. MikuMikuDance."- this means that not all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (x86) packages for 2005, 2008, and 2010 are installed. Usually they already exist, but when you reinstall Windows may disappear.
To run the program, you need to unzip the archive using WinRAR, which many already have on your computer. If not, download and run.
An example of the correct folder to unzip the MMD:
C:\MMD739
or
D:\MMD922
