I loved that program, only I was far too lazy to invest the time required in making impressive things with frame by frame custom animation like lots of the people from the community back then...

... but I stumbled upon it again today, and they're actually making fan expansion packs.

3dmm Expansion Pack 1 (v0.18)
Created by: Frankie Weindel
This expansion uses the newly discovered expansion method. This expansion currently (v0.18) includes 4 new scenes, each with a variety of camera angles; 59 new 3D word textures; 3 new 3D fonts ripped from Nickelodeon 3D Movie Maker; new actors from Japanese version of 3dmm; new music from the 3dmm theatre; solid colour 3D word textures and finally, a new special type of 3D font. 'Wackydings' allows you to texturize the default 3D shapes through the 3D words tool, allowing the possibility of grouping 3D shapes as well as performing any of the transformations you can on a regular 3D word. Future packs will be available shortly with even more new features!

Oooohhhh, they integrated 3DMM with Nick 3DMM, and have various Japanese expansions as well!

Runs perfectly on XP, and the things people are doing with it now are amazing.

I used to looooove this program. My brothers and sisters still use it quite a bit pumping out stupidly funny movies. I remember I thought I used to make top notch films until I downloaded a few and DAMN they made my films look retarded.

Yeah, it runs on XP.

I used to have hours of fun with this Simpsons cartoon maker I had a few years ago. It was super edutainment!

Why the hell hasn't Microsoft released a new version?

It would sure make sense, it was cool when it came out, but no question it was a bit ugly and clunky. Clean it up a bit, and I think people would go nuts for it.

I thought for 1995 it was great. I got it as a Christmas present for my 486DX2/66, and it ran like crap.

Isn't this what The Movies is going to be like?

 

[SickBoy]

I don't think The Movies gives you the same level of control. In that it's a game, there are, I think, elements that are beyond your control. Movie Maker was complete sandbox.

And goodcow, yeah, it was awesome at the time...

Is there a shareware version or demo of Microsoft 3D Movie Maker anywhere?

It's from 1995, so I doubt Microsoft would give a shit if you pirated it.

The link to "some version" of 3DMM might be on that site with the fan made expansion pack... Perhaps...

Man, I always wanted this program but could never find it, then one day I randomly visited a nasty pawn shop to look for Atari games and I found it in an old game bin for $1. I felt like I was robbing the place. I've never gotten around to using it, though.
