Yeah, a primitive tool inspiring people's imaginations sounds horrific.

3DMM owned, I spent more time with it after school (at school) in 5th grade than I really should have. I loved poking around the theater getting pieces from the McZee's notebook and all of the unlockables (characters and costumes?). It's a shame my best friend at the time had a falling out about 6 years back and I have nothing left of any of my films since they were on his computer.

Wasn't there a sequel in the works at one point? Someone should revive this type of game with a new game that borrows (rips off) the look and feel of 3DMM.

I liked it though.

I just had the spider-man cartoon maker but never did anything with it.

Haha I had the Spider-Man Cartoon Maker also. There was this one police radio chatter sound that I have been hearing in TV shows, movies and games for the last 2 decades.

Also goddamn I really need to find John Lercari. Or just all of his old Bomberman movies, they are so hilarious.

They're still available (1 2 3 4 5 6 7). I actually added them to the archive a couple years ago, since his Fortunecity page was somehow still around in 2006. John Lercari's movies were really influential to me too. I was like twelve when I saw 3d Bomberman, and had never considered using props to create handmade characters. Constructing them later became my favorite thing to do with the program, and the term 'handmade character' is what my username is derived from.

From a while ago, but this was "Opening Night". I had a copy of this and loved the hell out of it. I used to make little murder mysteries and cast all my friends in it as themselves, and it would just spiral into insane anti humor after that.

That's it! Thank you; nostalgic memories of 5th grade may now proceed. I can't remember, did that have any sort of inappropriate content blocker? Any piece of software touched by my friends or I during those years was immediately bombarded with swear words and pornographic terms, but I feel like most of the ones oriented towards kids wouldn't accept them. I do remember there being some sort of king or prince digital actor who had a sword on his belt, which in the mind of a 5th grader = penis, and kids in my class just positioned him in different scenes suddenly having sword-sex with people. Every so often, the teacher would walk by as someone frantically tried to close the scene, most often then being pulled out of class for the day. Ah MECC software...

Anyone ever mess around with Pivot Stick Figure animator? I remember when I was living with an ex her kid was really big into it. I spent a few hours or so making a guy fire a rocket out of a gun that hit a plane, then the plane crashed on him or some poo poo. The kid was REALLY angry that I made something better than what he usually makes and I had to spend a whole day showing him how to make custom models.

Oh 3DMM...I was so into this program between the ages of 13-15 because OMG I can make real cartoons and my dream was to pursue animation. I was bummed by the limited character choices, but the ability to import music and record your own weird voices was awesome. A couple of the female characters bore resemblance to some girls I really didn't like, so most of my films centered around the various unfortunate/embarrassing things that would happen to them. I also really liked using the haunted house/castle? setting and the downtown/big city. Holy poo poo, so many memories...

Also I never found that loving bagman's profile either.

The closest there is is Frameforge 3D, it's actually used by professionals to pre-visualize how to shoot scenes, but you can easily make movies with it alone. It costs $400 though.

I remember using 3DMM back in my childhood years to remake Independence Day and a movie I called "Deaths and Other Cool Stuff," but it was mostly just wannabe-David Lynchian nonsense.

Another member of the 3dmm community checking in. The really amazing idea about the 3dmm community is that it is still alive and well, despite the "movie-making" aspect of the forum mostly dying years ago. One member is currently in the process of creating a "3dmm II" as well, which is an interesting project that fills that niche in a modern/adaptable way.

Another member check-in here. The community was pretty amazing. If you caught it at the right time, the sheer amount of creativity being output regularly would sweep anybody up in the spectacle. When there weren't animation-fests being put out, there was a constant stream of little in-joke movies to crack up over. I never caught on to the social aspect of it much, but drat if this game wasn't an amazing outlet of self-expression.

3DMM worked so well as an animation game because it was specifically designed to make Something quickly, but had enough flexibility in its tools that if you wanted, you could create Anything. So, so, so much of what was ever 'produced' was based almost entirely off of the base materials and making in-jokes at its expense--but if you were watching, you probably got exactly what was being riffed. The audience was small, but completely involved. You weren't a watcher, you were usually a participant. Then you'd be tempted to make something more involved, impressive, and satisfying, and those that saw it through to the end deserve to be remembered in some level. It wasn't easy, but that just made it that much more impressive.

...and now I'm frustrated. I was going to suggest my personal favorite 3DMM feature length masterpiece--the ~80 minute long Vlarion remake (from 7 years ago now already, holy balls)--but I can't find an online stream, and translating .3mm into .avi isn't exactly easy at all.

The guy who did the Dirty Potter audiobook series started off his illustrious career in the Nickelodeon movie maker as well. Not long ago he uploaded something he had made when he was a youngster.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iguCsdwqRLM

'Many years ago when I was a kid of perhaps 13 or younger, way before Dirty Potter, I would spend hours and hours and hours of my time with this program called Nickelodeon 3D Movie Maker for Windows 95, doing essentially the same thing. I would chip away tirelessly at animating these things frame by frame, I had dozens of them and nearly all of them were just like this, covering the extremely diverse topic of Nicktoons taking huge green dumps.
Unfortunately, most of the cartoons I created over the years during my childhood were lost in the mists of time, but I've managed to dig this one up from an extremely old hard drive, a drive so old in fact that it's capacity was only 2GB. So I screencapped it and put it up here for everyone to see exactly what kind of stuff I was doing before Dirty Potter, and how it's basically the same thing.'

I guess this is one of those "I thought I was the only one" things. I got 3D Movie Maker with a desktop computer my Grandparents bought me in high school. I spent way to much time on that thing making 10-20 minute epics. I actually had a whole movie trilogy plus a prequel done up which my best friend thought was hilarious. Sadly, that computer died a horrible death ten or so years ago and ended up on the curb so they're all gone. I could re download the game and remake them but I have not come across the willpower to do so.

The movies? Oh they were about a mad scientist who had an intelligent murderous baby who could grow to an immense size and spent most of the film mangling and killing people.
