It’s been a while since we last had an actual MMD post, but that doesn’t mean things have been happening. The freeware animation program had six updates in the interim, mainly dealing with problems with the MMDxShow.dll file. I don’t know the whole story, but I’m guessing that new problems arose as old ones were

By now, you’re probably tired of V-ism’s coverage of the 3rd MikuMiku Dance Cup. After all, we’ve previewed all three themes’ top entrants pretty extensively and got you aware of something you may not have initially known about. You can’t think there’s anything else, right?

So far in our MMD Cup shenanigans, we looked at the seasons, we looked at the future, and now we’re gonna take it easy. No, not in the above sense. Honestly, I’m glad yukkuri isn’t one of the themes.

Honestly, I think we at V-ism should post at least 1 non-Vocaran story per week, even if it’s going to be fluff or something barely relevant. Here’s this week’s article: The folks at the VPVP have released version 5.02 of MikuMikuDance, fixing a bug involving sound playback. So if your audio’s been wonky, well there

The Vocaloid community likes to prank us every now and then, so when the latest Weekly Vocaloid Ranking mentioned the arrival of Sonika, I was skeptical. I mean, look at that box art. It honestly, looks like an avatar for IMVU or something and uploaded to a deviantArt account, and I’m not just saying that

So it’s been a couple weeks since Megpoid has been released to eager music-makers everywhere, and now that Ms. Nakajima can sit back and start collecting her checks (I’m only speculating, though), now’s a good time to take a look and see how Gumi has fared in the early goings.
