Description

MMDUtility is pretty helpfull for animators, i've tested it yesterday and, well, it works really good. The fact is that the plugin and the tutorial are in japanese and i haven't found any english tutorial online. Since english isn't my first language, if you find any errors, note me.

first of all, you need the MMDPlugin Installer

it's really intuitive and in english.

Load the 9.26 version of MMD (it works only with this version), select "MMDUtility" and then go to the bowlroll page linked on the right. After download it as a .zip file, don't open it manually, but check "select zip" in the plugin installer. It will install the plugin automatically.

If you want to use this plugin with the latest version of MMD (9.31 now), copy the files from the 9.26 folder (the files in the MikuMikuDanceE_v926x64 folder and the plugin one too)

if you have problems with the plugin installer > link for the 9.26 and 9.31 for 64BIT ONLY

Screen segmentation function
to use this function, check “画面分割” (screen split) but only with a loaded model. It will not work, cause problems or crash the program if you don't load a model before.
