How to use

First, install the package.

npm add @babylonjs/core @babylonjs/havok babylon-mmd

Here is the code to build a scene with a simple MMD model and play a VMD animation.

// side effects that register the loader
import "babylon-mmd/esm/Loader/pmxLoader";

// side effects that register the animation runtime
import "babylon-mmd/esm/Runtime/Animation/mmdRuntimeCameraAnimation";
import "babylon-mmd/esm/Runtime/Animation/mmdRuntimeModelAnimation";

async function build(canvas: HTMLCanvasElement, engine: Engine): Scene {
    // If you don't want full SDEF support on shadow / depth rendering, you can comment out this line as well. While using SDEF can provide similar results to MMD, it comes with a higher cost.
    SdefInjector.OverrideEngineCreateEffect(engine);

    const scene = new Scene(engine);
    scene.ambientColor = new Color3(0.5, 0.5, 0.5);

    const camera = new MmdCamera("mmdCamera", new Vector3(0, 10, 0), scene);

    const hemisphericLight = new HemisphericLight("light1", new Vector3(0, 1, 0), scene);
    hemisphericLight.intensity = 0.3;
    hemisphericLight.specular = new Color3(0, 0, 0);
    hemisphericLight.groundColor = new Color3(1, 1, 1);

    const directionalLight = new DirectionalLight("DirectionalLight", new Vector3(0.5, -1, 1), scene);
    directionalLight.intensity = 0.7;
    
    CreateGround("ground1", { width: 60, height: 60, subdivisions: 2, updatable: false }, scene);
    
    // Use havok physics engine for rigid body/joint simulation
    const havokInstance = await HavokPhysics();
    const havokPlugin = new HavokPlugin(true, havokInstance);
    scene.enablePhysics(new Vector3(0, -9.8 * 10, 0), havokPlugin);
    
    // MMD runtime for solving morph, append transform, IK, animation, physics
    const mmdRuntime = new MmdRuntime(scene, new MmdPhysics(scene));
    mmdRuntime.register(scene);
    
    // For synced audio playback
    const audioPlayer = new StreamAudioPlayer();
    audioPlayer.source = "your_audio_path.mp3";
    mmdRuntime.setAudioPlayer(audioPlayer);
    
    // You can also run the animation before it loads. This will allow the audio to run first.
    mmdRuntime.playAnimation();

    // create a youtube-like player control
    new MmdPlayerControl(scene, mmdRuntime, audioPlayer);
    
    const vmdLoader = new VmdLoader(scene);

    mmdRuntime.setCamera(camera);
    const cameraMotion = await vmdLoader.loadAsync("camera_motion_1", "your_camera_motion_path.vmd");
    camera.addAnimation(cameraMotion);
    camera.setAnimation("camera_motion_1");

    const model = await loadAssetContainerAsync("path/to/your_file.pmx", scene)
        .then(result => {
            result.addAllToScene();
            return result.meshes[0] as MmdMesh;
        });
    const mmdModel = mmdRuntime.createMmdModel(model);
    const modelMotion = await vmdLoader.loadAsync("model_motion_1", "your_model_motion_path.vmd");
    mmdModel.addAnimation(modelMotion);
    mmdModel.setAnimation("model_motion_1");

    return scene;
}

If your model uses textures such as TGA, don't forget to also import the side effects for TGA textures.

// side effects for TGA textures
import "@babylonjs/core/Materials/Textures/Loaders/tgaTextureLoader";

Use optimized custom format

The optimized custom formats, BPMX (BabylonPMX) and BVMD (BabylonVMD), handle most of the validation and parsing process required for loading at the conversion stage.

As a result, you can provide users with an incredibly fast loading experience.

Furthermore, it is also useful when you want to protect the original model/motion files since they cannot be loaded in MMD.

PMX to BPMX

To perform pmx conversion, please visit below link and load the desired models directory. Then select the model you want to convert and click on "convert".

then you can load the converted files like below.

// side effects that register the loader
import "babylon-mmd/esm/Loader/Optimized/bpmxLoader";

const model = await loadAssetContainerAsync("path/to/your_file.bpmx", scene)
    .then(result => {
        result.addAllToScene();
        return result.meshes[0] as MmdMesh;
    });

VMD to BVMD

To perform vmd conversion, please visit below link and load the desired motions. Then, simply click on "convert". By default, it is possible to merge one camera motion and one model motion together.

then you can load the converted files like below.

const bvmdLoader = new BvmdLoader(scene);
const motion = await bvmdLoader.loadAsync("motion_1", "your_motion_path.bvmd");
