Created a WebMMD Model Viewer Compatible with Smartphones
Hello, my name is ssmz.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to view MMD models on my smartphone, and I searched for apps or websites that could do this. However, I found that iOS apps for this purpose were almost nonexistent.
There are a few websites that allow MMD models to be displayed on the web, but none of them seemed to do exactly what I wanted. So I thought, “Why not just create it myself?” and ended up developing DollRoom, a smartphone-focused website where you can manipulate MMD models directly in your browser.
Concept
1. Focused on Model Viewing
There are other websites where you can display MMD models and apply motions to make them dance.
However, this site is primarily designed as a service for personal viewing.
I plan to enhance features that make viewing more enjoyable, but it might not be suitable for creating videos for sharing.
2. Optimized for Smartphones
The main reason I started this site was because I wanted to manipulate and view MMD models on my smartphone, so I’ve adjusted it to be as user-friendly as possible on mobile devices.
Some models would crash upon upload, possibly because I’m using an older smartphone (I use an iPhone), so I’ve incorporated a feature called Low Expression Mode to prevent crashes.
3. Intuitive Operation Without Specialized Knowledge
To load and manipulate MMD models (PMX files), you need a certain level of knowledge.
This site takes care of the complex parts, allowing users to intuitively achieve what they want.
Note: I’m not fully versed in all the details of PMX files; I’m more of a beginner myself.

Automatically Save Uploaded Models and Motion Files in the Browser

These files are not stored on the server but in your browser.
Once uploaded, you won’t need to upload them again next time.
