You're not working on a Windows 10 computer by any chance? Cuz, I can't get the program to work on mine. Have to do the conversion on my old Win 8 net book.

Sorry for the belated response.

I cannot get the VMD Spectrum to work under Win10, so I just do conversions using my old netbook which still runs Win8.

Hey. Im having trouble importing the wav file into the program, let alone use the program.
Whenever I open the program, it showed a warning message "DirectSound(insert japanese text)". I checked the DirectX driver and its up to date. And I also unblock the rar file to make sure that the .dll files would not get blocked by my computer before i extract. I also changed the wav file to its correct format, sample size and rate but it still didnt work. Any idea on how to fix it?

Sorry, I am not sure how to respond as the tutorial doesn't say to use Audacity to change the size of anything.

Well the VMD thing won't accept/load my WAV, and I can't read the Japanese text that pops up when I try. >.< I figured it had to do with size.

Trackdancer In reply to travelermew [2018-05-25 02:34:43 +0000 UTC]

Oh that... You can change it to the correct WAV format by just selecting the correct settings as indicated in the tutorial. Then export the results to a new WAV file.

Trackdancer In reply to Captain-Espana [2018-05-10 02:58:31 +0000 UTC]

Use a program like Audacity to check the full range of frequency for the piece of music you are trying to process. It is possible that a certain spectrum of sound is at too low a frequency for the program to process.

Also check the settings in the processing program itself. You might have inadvertently limited the range of sound the program is supposed to detect and process.

Ah. I figured out that if I look at the readme on the wall, it says use 29, but then the thing stopped midway through the song.

You exceeded MMD's upper limit for the size of the VMD file.

Weird. I followed the instructions in the readme it came with... What should I have done?

Trackdancer In reply to Captain-Espana [2018-05-14 00:30:18 +0000 UTC]

Basically, what seems to be happening based on what you wrote, is that your data exceeded the quota for the amount of data permitted for a VMD file.

The solution is detailed in the tutorial above. Reduce the frequency of the sampling.

Captain-Espana In reply to Trackdancer [2018-05-14 03:49:09 +0000 UTC]

Alright then. the readme says 29, yours says 15-16, but when I used yours it only made like one quarter of the bars move

Ah. So... How will this work with the spectrum. I see how this works for the MMD motions, but for a song equalizer...?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Trackdancer In reply to Captain-Espana [2018-05-18 00:30:46 +0000 UTC]

The VMDSpectrum program simply converts audio dBs into VMD data. So, it does get capped by MMD's upper limit on the size of the VMD file.

RoseSeprail [2017-10-01 18:00:45 +0000 UTC]

This looks super cool but I'm definitely doing something wrong. I'm following each step, but when it comes to loading it as an accessory, first off it doesn't even appear, so I set it to show all files, and then when I click it, it pops up with "This is not x_file. If Japanese font is included in the filename, please rewrite it in English font" Which doesn't make sense because it's just named Inspiration.vmd. I've looked to see if anyone else is having any issues with the same thing but nothing has caught my eye. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Trackdancer In reply to RoseSeprail [2017-10-01 18:50:51 +0000 UTC]

Models that support VMD data are not loaded as accessory models. They will be either PMD or more commonly, PMX models. These are loaded the same way as performing models. You then load the VMD file on to them.

Your Wav file needs to be 100% Windows compliant. There are tutorials in my gallery that explains this and tells how to fix the issue.

Check your DirectX install.

Google "directx diagnostic tools" and find the version for your system - just follow their instructions to run to tool to check. You might have to reinstall directx or at least repair it.
