DesktopMMD3:Miss Fish Reviews

I was searching for a desktop companion program, and stumbled upon this program. It opens my eyes to a brand new world! For a little $4, I can have over a thousand models to choose from, all of them are free. Many of them are in detailed 3D with full realistic texture. Each of them have their own movement and motion. They randomly play out the movements when idle. It is quite fun to watch. Then there are hundreds of songs to subscribe, many comes with motions that match the songs perfectly. Every model can dance to those songs, even the robots. It is quite a fun and hilarious experience to watch a pretty girl dance with a robot. Overall I think this piece of software can worth much much more. I am glad that it only cost me $4. I wish the programmer will come back one day and continue this state-of-art software. It's truly a waste to stop the development. The switch from 2D to 3D is brilliant. I don't think I will like watching a 2D avatar dancing. People here just don't know better. Don't listen to those negative guys.

I am unable to change audio (and it doesn't use windows default audio) but its fun to see the characters dance on my screen. Steam has a whole bunch to choose from, and i can use my own. overall, it's a great program. i rate it a B+ (because of the audio problem)... otherwise it would get A+

Honestly this is the best looking desktop characters/dolls graphics wise i have seen from many that i used before i hope this will be worked on and receive all the support from the developers as it needs.My initial thoughts on this would be to see the following 1.Higher frame rates at least up to 144 fps 60 fps is just a bit choppy for me in today's age. 2.Another tab in the programs interface for adult or 18+ content it is quite annoying when searching for something and have a screen full of nudes inbetween. 3.Some more movement during idling on my desktop maybe sit down cook something or play a board game wit ha little chair or whatever something creative then just checking her shoes from all angles every 5 seconds. 4.i know this one is always a struggle and is not of too high importance but if possible to remove the clipping into eachother of body parts and clothes. Thanx for all the efforts up until now really enjoying this application

I like this one the best, even though it takes up resources. i play when im just searching for games to play and ill disable it when i start a game. but hands down the best software i have come across for a on screen sim bot. even though i dont understand what there saying. It really makes me think if i really listen to what anyone is saying :)

Well this is a very great concept if you want a anime waifu in your desktop. The controls are janky, not much after the updates they release. But it is well made I do want one thing and it is bring a option for age restriction because there are 18+ models in these. So not made for pc in crowded homes. Conclusion: Great concept and a nice community for uploading new contents in this app.

DO NOT BUY, NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE OR BEING FIXED. CAN'T WORKSHOP OR ANYTHING WISH I COULD REFUND its a money grab, devs random say they doing stuff to keep in store and pretend game is current. stop paying for thier vacation homes

During the Cyber Monday Sale! I got both DesktopMMD3:Miss Fish VS Desktop Kanojo. I am giving both games a Thumbs Up, but in the end. I prefer Desktop Kanojo over DesktopMMD3: Miss Fish. Here is why! Starter Girl: Fish is a younger game. Perhaps that attributes to it's less then stellar graphics. Even for a MMD model. The starter model is far to plastic and lifeless. It's facial expressions are more like facial ticks. Body wise, is not bad. But not smooth. You can see it a lot in the finger. Kanojo is close to a year older, yet your starting girl is a lost smoother and more realistic. Not nearly as plastic. Closer to a soft porcelain doll. You don't see nearly (or any most time) joint wrinkling or collapsing. Like the wrist is caving in. That is not happening. Animations and Poses: Fish does not come with many animation and poses. Not as many as Kanojo. I get it. Fish is styled to dance more then pose. Which is ok, but a larger variety would be nice. Kanojo has about 3 times more poses and animation from the start. Not as many dances but for me. I just like having a nice little model stand there and be cute then dancing all over my screen. I am not watching a MMD video. I am just want someone to keep me company while I do stuff. Voice, Music, Sound: Fish wins when it comes to sound variety as it seems to be designed more as a music player for you dancing model. There are some voice comments, but all in Japanese (i think). The music works great with the dancing. Kanojo has two sets of voiced phrases to be spoken when doing animations. Sadly they are in Chinese and Japanese. So, unless you understand what she is saying. It's kinda wasted without some kind of subtitle. There also no music from the start. But, if want music. I just load up Pandora and bam. J-Pop for days. System Controls: Fish is annoying with the controls. Not very user friendly. You can move her from side to side and zoom in, but you can't really turn her or tilt her around with out going into the control settings. Even when you do that. She resets back to front standing when she does an animation. It's rather annoying and makes it less enjoyable. Also no timer to be set between her animations. The only thing I like is you can right click her and she does a cute animation to bring up controls. Kanojo is fairly user friendly. She has all the same standard controls as Fish but also, you can rotate her and tilt her. She won't reset if she does a new animation. You can set time limit between animation. She has an alarm feature as well. Nice if you want to know when it's time to do something else or such. Solid controls. Workshop: Fish has a bigger workshop. Ok, so there is a far larger workshop for fish then there is for Kanojo. Which is amazing while sad at the same time. I subscribed to a lot of models. A large variety. Sadly, most of what I was finding was just a plastic and outdated as Fish. There were some really nice models, though there seemed to be a lot of duplicate and/or "I'm Naked" models. Which I do like my nudity, if it's nice to look at. These, really were not. Most everything is tied very much to MMD model style, but older. Some very nice Rin models and a Cute Lapis (Steven Universe), but just not the quality I was hoping for. Larger sound library though (music). Animation though... nothing really. Kanojo has some very nice workshop models. About 1/10 as much as Fish, but more quality. Just like Fish. I subscribed to a lot to see what they had. Many I did not like, was not cause of quality. Just not my style. They looked good, but not for me. The variety is there. A great Mona (Genshin) and wonderfully tasteful NSFW Miku. They also have this absolutely adorable Raymond (animal crossing). Again, many styles to meet a larger fan base of taste. Just, not as much. Sadly. CLOSING: In the end I find Kanojo much more enjoyable over Fish. I give this game a thumbs up cause even though it's not as good. It does the job and thanks to the workshop. Has something work looking at. If they can change there controls to be easier to use and functional that will probably make them the better Desktop. The fans in the workshop will add the rest, if they stay. I will watch this myself in hopes it gets better while using Kanojo mostly cause of the current quality it has over Fish. Either way! Happy Gaming To Everyone!

I'm going to be brutally real with y'all, and be more "informative" than my other Steam reviews. This should [i]not[/i] have been a separate product. It should've been an update to something previous. I've seen the developer state that it's a major update, and that's why it's a separate application. To me, that's not entirely valid. Making this an update with a [i]price increase[/i] would've been the better choice in my opinion. As an example, I bought Marmoset Hexels 3 when it was Marmoset Hexels 2. It had an update and a price increase for [i]future purchases[/i]. I did not have to spend money for this upgrade, and I still genuinely like the program and how they made it. The only disadvantage to this is that people can't buy the older version, but at this point it would've been an older, unsupported version of the fundamentally same program. I feel like this is would've been a smarter action to take for these series of programs. I feel like Desktop Magic Engine (fundamentally Desktop MMD 2) could've just gotten an update like this program. They share a very similar interface, and it's painfully obvious to me that these are more or less "copy-and-paste" programs, with more shiny features to make purchasing sound more reasonable. I understand the existence of DME (DMMD 2) as the first DMMD was taken off of Steam for a module that was originally released under no license and given a license to revoke usage for commercial purposes (by the way, this is completely reasonable to do and doesn't violate anything) and the developer of the module complained to Valve. So a re-release without that exact module (or the same module if a settlement was made for use with or without compensation) makes sense. However, I don't fully agree with how the developer handled it. For a re-release, giving out a free key is something other developers do but admittedly not all. One example is when Klei Entertainment remastered [i]Mark of the Ninja[/i]. They initially gave owners of the original game a free copy of the remaster, but I didn't notice until I came across it (I assume that I missed an announcement, I'm not sure.) In my opinion, this could have been handled a lot better. I don't agree with the developer's rebuttal of this on other reviews, and it seems like that it's something cookie-cutter. You could've handled this better, mate.

This comment maybe more subjective than objective point of view but that doesn't matter It looks like there have been few comments at the time i write comments in English so i am gladly to be one of them. A next generation from the old software DME (desktop magic engine) with the name desktopMMD3 in order to boost sales, it will not be a big deal but since the advertise mentioned about brand new rendering engine and no skirt clipping, many have expected the improvement in the physical movement but until now there is nothing change for the any PME format style models. If it only about this particular model named Miss Fish then this software clearly already achieved its goal but unfortunately for most anime fan this put them in nothing more than disappointment and resentment about this software (maybe only me). Just like its former generation DME (or DMMD2 however you refer it) there are only few changes compared to the old ones. I don't know about the others but personally when i launch my own model it looks somewhat weird and bizarre, it gives me chill to my spinal core whenever i see my beloved one doesn't even look like any MMD in the youtube. Her eyes become even bigger than the usual and whenever her eyes blink I notices her entire also blink too, this doesnt affect much on Miss Fish and yet the difference become more distinct when you used different models. Overall, I believe this one like DME should labeled as EARLY ACCESS in order to not mislead people but whatever. This software is borrowing the positive review from the old ones for getting more sales but in reality the developers just sell it under another name to satisfy their greed. Despite of having several months there is still no significant improvement in physical collision. The previous version DesktopMMD1 (version 1.6 or 1.7) really manage good physical rendering effect and compared to the current version DMM2 and DMM3 are no matched in how they render model's movement. What a great disappointment

Re-releasing this won't make it more popular and alienate current fanbase. Previous (Desktop Magic Engine) was far from done, and now abandoned. Most of submissions in workshop had serious compatibility issues (see-through textures, clipping, animation on certain type of models), some outright not working. If you can't make it work properly, you should at least provide proper tools to allow anyone make quality submissions. Now without certain few people who can do it right, this would be a garbage software. Basically the same with a couple of new tricks. Don't see why this couldn't be a regular update to previous one.
