MikuMikuDance still lives mostly on the desktop: PMX models, VMD motion, skirt physics, camera work. We built AnimaStage Lite — an open-source browser studio so you can load assets, preview motion, add FX, and export vertical Shorts without installing MMD.

Why the browser?
Short-form creators need:
9:16 framing and 1080×1920 export
Fast PMX + VMD iteration
Stable WebGL on everyday laptops
AnimaStage Lite is not a full MMD clone — it’s a focused stage: load, animate, light, record.
