Next logical step would be WASM, I suppose. Then I could easily show everyone in the world 12-year-old-tombert's masterpiece "Fatso Man and Tarzan Baby".
ETA: I'm gonna give it a go with Claude tonight. Need to justify my $100 membership somehow.
The most fantastic video I've ever seen created in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker is 'Grandpa Found the Car Keys': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJKeESLBpQ
A very impressive use of the tool to achieve a pretty impressive amount of style within the limitations.
I had forgotten how much time I spent with this software until I saw the screenshot. Thanks for the port!
Awesome! I can now ditch Windows. The year is finally here.
I used 3dmm throughout my high school making movies for school projects and side projects for laughs.
This is an absolute gem! Thank you!
Does anyone know why the 3DMMForever project stalled? Was technical or was it just a general lack of interest?
RIP Pozin
I remember this source was released a while back and some people hacked it together to run on modern Windows.
Yay!
wow, such an amazing job! really a gymkhana of libraries to port/change. makes me think in the (unknown future) portability of the software I create today
Brings me back! Well done!
That's peretty cool!!
I had never heard of this piece of software before. I would be very interested in trying it out on Linux.
Here is the blog series from the dev working on the Linux side of the port. (It was a group effort - both authors are very clear about the contributions from the other, it's really nice to read a story like this!) https://www.ilande.co.uk/2026/04/06/porting-3dmm-to-linux-pa...
