I had that too! It was a blast. I was so sad when I lost the disk for it.
The only thing I ever did with it was Sailor Moon themed stuff, and wacky lol monkey cheese random poo poo that I thought sounded hilarious when the computer spoke it.

e: Kid Pix, too! Only had it at school, though. Everyone in class always fought over the computers that had it installed.

DD was actually uploaded around the same time by that account, but got removed due to the hundreds of copyrighted music it used. The RIAA and its friends would have a field day if they knew about the amount of music the 3dmm Community used in their movies.

^^ Oh hey Owers.


I'm a member of that there 3dmm community. The 3dmm portion has basically died off at this point, except for the occasional foreign 12-year old or autistic dude that finds the program and the community. At this point it basically serves as a place for people who used to use the program to hang out.

e: in fact, most of the threads referenced in the OP of this thread were made by one single autistic dude

The heyday of 3dmm was about, I dunno, 2001-2006, thereabouts. A majority of the community was 14-18, thus affording a level of maturity high enough to make some cool movies, but young enough to actually have the time to use that awful loving interface.

Eventually, a handful of dudes figured out some file formats and whatnot and managed to import custom models and textures and so on into the program. This was great, as it allowed users more flexibility in what they wanted to do. Unfortunately, this also spelled the end for the actual movie-making side of the community, as the standards got raised to the point that it would take someone nearly a year working on a film to create something of quality.


If you uh.... if you want more information about 3d movie maker or some cool films or whatever, both Owers ^^ and I can be of assistance. I know there's another... maybe half dozen goons that are from 3dmm, so maybe they'll pop up, too.

I remember The Simpsons Cartoon Studio, because I had it. I also had this one computer program based on the American Girls' doll toyline where you can make plays based on a collection of characters and props. As for the scripts, they had story prompts in case you were stuck for ideas, but if you were creative (or creative/deranged) enough, you didn't need them.

Plus by the time V3dmm came out there existed so many tools out there and everyone was old enough that 3dmm had really just become too inconvenient to use. Hell, I went back to it a couple of months ago and it's amazing how much I used to put up with. Clicking five-million times to scroll down the texture list one entry at a time.

EDIT: Not to mention it was kind of hard to keep motivated when you knew ultimately all that work would be seen by only 30 people or so.

Edit: A little less than a year ago, when I was still working at a free after-school program in SF, I salvaged 5 or 6 iMacs and G4/5s from our e-waste dumpster. Once they were up and running on an old fold out table and some carts, the majority of the students' time spent on them was using the latest version of Kid Pix which was installed before they were dumped. To the point where we had to have sign-ups for each computer.

Edit2x: Omitted for being an inadvertent dick. Now I feel bad.

I remember an old piece of semi-educational software designed for making your own 2D theater scenes. This was around the "Amazon Trail" days, probably mid-90s. You could choose a static, 2D background or theater stage, along with 2D digitized actors and props, and then script dialogue and actions for the scene.

I used it in elementary school, and I believe it was for either Apple Power PC-era macs or Windows machines of the same time. Of course, every guy in my 5th grade drama class and probably a few girls used it to make the least school-appropriate scenes possible.

Any guesses?

The most fun I had was years later with The Movies, made by Peter Molyneux's Lionhead Studios.

I spent way too many hours slogging through this and Spider-Man Movie Maker as a kid, on my slow as hell old PC.

Biggest thing I ever did on it was create my own 10min version of The Phantom Menace with it, complete with Podracers made out of cylinders, cars and extruded text characters.

I do actual 3D animation these days, and even though I think my head would melt in frustration at the interface today, I still kind of want to play around with it again.

I bought The Simpson's Cartoon Studio through those Scholastic book catalogue's they handed out in middle school. I remember the day it arrived, my teacher was very unimpressed and made a show over what a stupid thing I had bought. She was our English teacher and I'm pretty sure it actually made her angry that I purchased something that most certainly was not young-adult literature. Every kid in class wanted their own copy though so gently caress you Mrs. Ray.

Edit: I made a minute long video of Bart skateboarding to the moon and then Homer fell down or something. Took me like 2 weeks to finish that masterpiece. Never touched it again.

Now this brings back memories. The first computer I ever used running windows 95 had this bundled with it, what I loved was you could group clip-art together and make a new image, specifically a bald head attached to a hand walking around a creepy castle.

The computer belonged to my uncles friend who had moved in with him whilst his house was being renovated, that day I discovered the horrors of internet history.
