MMD (MikuMikuDance) is a 3D animation software that was created for a character called Hatsune Miku (Vocaloid). The software was developed by Yu Higuchi as part of the VOCALOID Promotion Video Project (VPVP) and was released in February 2008.

What are the key features of MMD?

Create: MikuMikuDance is perfect for anyone who wants to create manga and anime. Even though the software was originally created for Vocaloid, it is now all over the internet, with manga enthusiasts regularly posting their creations with MMD, especially on DeviantArt.
Framework: It is important to note that MMD is like a video game without the game: it features a powerful game-system framework. Like a modern DirectX video game, you will need a good graphic card to run it on your computer.
Effects: In addition to the above, fans have created MikuMikuEffects (MME), which is a library of special effects for MMD. The latest version of MME (v037) features all the files from the previous version but also an English translation of the documentation.
Help: Another good thing about MMD is that the developers make sure everyone can enjoy the program - this is why there is an official article to guide users that encounter difficulties while trying to run MikuMikuDance on their computers.
