Oh man Stunt Island was awesome. I spent so much time on that thing.

I feel like the legacy of Stunt Island is mostly lost because the program packaged your movies into .exe files.

My best friend and I made tons of movies and recorded tons of terrible little-kid voiceovers for them.

Here are some made by an online community that I had no idea existed!

The first couple clips would have been well within our 10-year-old skills, but the Stuntzilla one at the end is really amazing.

3DMM was hilarious and some of the poo poo people did with it blew me away. I can't imagine the kind of time and dedication it must've taken to make some of the more complex stuff. Especially if you used the in game shapes to make a scene.

It would take me ages just to make lovely scenes using the in game characters and props as it was, much less making my own.

It's not that difficult, just type 3dmm into youtube and sort by upload date. It was literally the first result

Many an hour wasted on 3DMM with nothing really all that good to show for it, I remember when me and my brother first started playing and couldn't even make them walk properly, then later we found some films made with it (Mczee's death films) and it blew our minds what you could actually do with this game (still never really made anything good after, just people getting hit with cars with blood exploding everywhere)

So I still have the disc, what the gently caress do I need to do to make it work on windows 7?

3dmm was pretty much the first thing I ever did on a pc! I used to love it and 3dmm.co.uk was the place to be. I even submitted a film to them once. It went:

An average entry, but the director has tried to be original with the inclusion of a worm from 'that' game to kill off Gustave. The animation is done well enough, it's a pity the humour doesn't work so well.

I worked on a few bigger movies but sadly never uploaded any as I was about 12 at the time! I'm now a 3d artist so maybe 3dmm was my inspiration.

Spider-Man Cartoon Maker was my creative way to waste time. I certainly never made anything as coherent as this here, though.

It's greatest feature, you'll quickly realize, is that every object you place or move has an attached sound effect. That includes the characters walking around. You have no control over that. The sound just plays as they walk or fly or whatever.

Oh wow. This is bizarre. I spent the majority of my teenage years as a member of the 3dmm community. Feels weird having people randomly find it like this.

I think one or two of the movies I made were converted to .avi and uploaded at one point; but I think they kind of disappeared. I never really made anything except little joke movies. The amazing thing was 3dmm used to run at a whopping ~6.6fps. A little more or less depending on CPU, OS, wind direction, etc...

Goddammit, I came here to post this. DD is seriously a work of art to a certain extent, or at the very least a labor of love. All of those buildings and shifting backgrounds and what have you are actually made out of things like 3d letters, tents, giant tiki models, portions of cars, etc. If you make an extremely elaborate custom background, any time you "move" the camera you have to individually relocate all of those pieces, which takes loving forever (there's no way to bind objects together or move the screen itself) and is not easy with 3dMM's jankety-rear end interface. Maltby has the patience of a monk.

Ahh memories. I still have the original 3dMM cd that came with my family's very first nice computer back in '97.

edit: ah poo poo, I can't find the full version, either. At least you can see part of it.

3D Movie Maker came with our first Windows PC. I spent hours and hours making all kinds of crazy horror/sci-fi shorts. One of the greatest pieces of kids' creativity software ever; it's a shame there's nothing really like it on the market now. I guess the film-making aspects of The Movies came close, but the magic wasn't there.
