MMD VMD Player

Paid Plugins MMD VMD Player

For those complaining about the price. This plugin is just like Vam, pay once and use "that version" for life. If you continue to support zhfx then you get all the updates. I have hade this plugin for 6 months now and every update was worth the continued support. This is an amazing plugin and just continues to get better. I'll continue to support zhfx. Keep up the great work.

Very useful tools. I wonder how to merge two seperate vmd files or auto play seperate vmd files?Now I need switch 1,2,3 vmd files manually.

I never looked into MMD before, but there’s a lot of interesting dances out there. This plugin lets you port them into VAM with ease. Not everything will work, soft body physics may need to be turned off, things may be a little jittery, and getting MMD motion files is much more involved than downloading from hub, but the end results are pretty amazing. The dances that feature multiple dancers are super excellent with this plugin.

OKAY. After a VERY long time of wondering, I can now finally review this resource.

Truth be told, this is absolutely a five-star plugin in practice (at least at time of writing, after a long stretch of updates), but there's just no getting around how sketch-feeling actually GETTING the plugin is. VaM admins have had to put up a banner regarding just how deep into your files this modification goes, in ways that makes them (and me) uncomfortable. No other plugin, aside from maybe the dev-approved vamX, seems to modify the base application so deeply, and you're even required to give a license for your individual machine just to obtain full-access. With VaM itself costing only $8, and said full-access to this costing $20, all that mess has left many people in consternation over time, and it drops a star just for that. It's also worth noting that that's a high monthly cost just to support continued updates after initial purchase, which I have been (perhaps overly) critical of elsewhere on this site.

HOWEVER! That does not stop this plugin from being fan-fucking-tastic in operation, and props to the author because I can say from personal experience zhfx themselves is actually very keen on providing users support (even without the special "extra support" tier). More importantly, the plugin itself blows the old VaMVMDPlugin I used to use so far out of the water you could shoot at it a few more times in the air for target practice.

I was very specifically waiting until getting my 4090/i9-13900k rig to take the dive on this plugin, and after some initial techincal hiccups I can say it was so very worth it, even at $20. The most important part of this plugin is that it is actively tweaking VMD files to fit your scene/chara, and while you have minimal ability to affect that on the user end, it does such a good job that you don't even need to think about it. This has been GODLIKE and has actually restored many motions to usability for me that were simply too jank on the free VaMVMDPlugin, or more often just had one jank sequence that broke the immersion. While I haven't tested out it's ability to more natively interact with other VaM components, it can lord that over free alternatives as well.

So yeah, I'll probably always be just a little uneasy while rocking this mod, no question about it, but I'm only a few clicks away from the kind of perfect VMD bliss that'll make me forget all over again.

Thanks for your feedback. I take your critics and will try my best to improve the license and modification part. Thanks for your support and would like to tell in case there is misunderstanding, you don't have to pay $20 to get full access, it is 10$ instead. 20$ tier is an optional tier but not really a must.

This is really awesome, and something that I think a lot of people have been wanting in VAM for a while. The patreon price is excessive though, it's charging nearly 50% more than VAM itself for just a plugin! It's hard to give a rating higher just because of the cost. The plugin itself is great, and having finger tracking adds something that's missing from nearly all VAM scenes. Please reconsider your pricing though.

This plugin seems great! And honestly I don't mind the price. However, as someone who does a clean Windows install every few months, there is no point getting this plugin since it will make my license invalid.

I would love to support this plugin but there needs to be a way to have a license that you can transfer between PC's or windows reinstalls.

Thanks for the feedback, would like to inform you license works with clean Windows install. Only limitation is PC's hardware. If you have problem using on the same PC, feel free to contact me.

Not a favorable impression. Invariably, there is an error in activating the plugin and you have to present him with all the information to resolve it. I have done this three times.
It doesn't matter if other users have no problems or if this is my only case. This is my review.

It has been stated clearly on Aifadian, there is a few hours time shift due to different location. Please be patient. 爱发电说了 国家地区不同,最多有几小时时差 你太急了一般就几小时之内。

Hi, the new version 1.22.03 is available. I hope to cancel the open Auto Expressions function, as well Optimize randomness lag.

I've been using this so far and it works fine. But you can't deny this is little expensive.. VAM is $8 per month. Is this worth more than VAM? nah...

I just want to make it clear for people are reading his "forever" claim of the license.

For VaM, you pay for a month and get a key for the current version. Back it up and you will have a piece of software that will still work 20 years from now with compatitble hardware. That's forever.

For this plugin, you will need to either use the same exact 20-year-old pc that you have now, or cross your fingers that he would reply to you with a new license for your shiny new computer. One year, two years... from now, I doubt that he would still be around each time you buy a new pc and want that "forever" plugin to work. He can just decide to pull the plug and stop responding at anytime and there is nothing you can do about it.

Well, yes this is correct however maybe too poetic. The license is forever valid but bound to only your current PC. A forever valid license doesnot mean forever software compatible with the system of grand children in 100 years. The software is guaranteed usable only per status quo as described very transparently in the public post when you go to paysite. You need now to pay from 5 to 20 euro once to get a license, and dependeing on whether you like any new features afterwards you choose to pay 5 euro occasionally again to update it to latest. That is all to make it run for the next few years(or a decade for some people), right.

First you make the plugin "regular" price 20$, then when you realize it's not going your way, you "lower" it to 5$ for the lowest tier. Pretty nice, only that you are only going to give the keys after a month (four weeks!), making it effectively the same as the other tier where due to how Patreon works, you end up paying 10$! Nice move, but I'm gonna have to call you out on this one, because that's some real bullshit there...

Hi I am very sad that you don't like this discount. I just hope you understand: in response to the some people's complain that it is too expensive, I tried already my very best to extend the price range to cover the people who are just a little insterested and don't want to pay much. Every license has to be manually calculated so waiting a month is very appropriate and fair for people who bought license at 20euros who are the key supporters of the development of this software from the beginning. If you are so mean calculating the 5 euro ending up with 10 euro, you can still wait until Oct 1st to avoid it, right? you are just not so interested in this and you dont want to pay much, it is ok.

Giving out 'discounts' but making people wait four weeks for a license?! The only reason to do that is to squeeze more money out of people who don't pay attention to your Patreon tier structure. Pretty scummy dude...

Is this the only thing you've made for VAM? I'm just not sure Patreon is appropriate for what you're offering. You should try https://www.shopify.com/

Yes, this is my very first thing made for VaM, what is your point? You dont have to be sure about whether something is appropriate for my offering, as I take care of it very well. I believe you know your proposal is nonsense so just ignored.

Way too expensive. Things like this should be $5 maximum and available immediately. I'll pass.

zhfx
way too stupid, people like this should just pass immediately and leave no review as they even never used it at all.

20 pounds for a plugin for VAM... when VAM itself only costs $8.
Z
zhfx
I dont like this review because I think you didn't try it as there is no concrete point except for price. A REview by definition is a feedback you give after viewing something. Saying VAM costs 8USD is nonsense because VAM doesn't cost 8USD. It is a long-term project crowd funded by patrons monthly, only narrow minded people think it has just a once-off price of 8 USD. I am running VaM on Linux, so with that same stupid logic, I would complain for all applications including VaM, how can they charge any cent for just an application on my big free system? Not to mention thousands of paid apps in free Android systems.
