I placed a hold on something called "3D Movie Maker" from the public library. I was quite disappointed when I went to pick it up after it arrived: instead of a serious movie-making program, there was a big ol' picture of Salvador slapped onto the back cover. I was like "Wha-?" But I gave it a try anyway.

First it was DRAGON FILMS (you rule, Greg), then 3dmm.com from one of Greg's links.

What's 3dmm.com?

I dunno, some crappy site.

NTA was all
"Hey! go to this site!"
And I was all
"Okay"
To this day is have not seen one 3DMM movie.

I have very conflicting feelings about you.

I got a copy of the game off a family friend who didn't want it. So after about a year of making crappy movies in default scenery with my friend I decided to search the net to see if others had made movies like us. Which is when I found Dragon Films. With the standards I was used to I found every movie on that site to be mind-boggling. Especially Vlarion and that one about the guy who gets thrown in prison because he looks like a criminal.

Anyway, long story short. After browsing between Explode Productions and Dragon Films for quite a while I decided to check out that one link that said "3dmm.com". I'd never been to an internet forum before so I was quite reluctant. Anyway I joined up and a few years later here I am.

found Georgefilms by Googling "Microsoft 3D Movie Maker," and links led here

hah oh gosh Presumed Guilty, yes I loved that one as well

Typed 'McZee' into Google, came up with the Stick Ribbon Campaign to ban McZee website, whcih led me to 3dmm.org, which led me to Explode Productions, which led me to 3dmm.com.

I would've found it a few years sooner, but I always searched for '3D Movie Maker', which gave some obscure results, rather than '3dmm', and have only referred to it as such since coming here.

yeah ditto

When I was searching around the Agonising fortress of 3dmm Studio. I found the links. TA-DA.

I did the same thing! I remember that exact thing now. Wow. I don't remember how I specifically found the website though. HMMM

I picked 3dmm out of my neighbour's game collection I guess 6 or so years ago and we played it for a while. I thought it was awesome but I forgot about it for a couple of years until one really boring R.E lesson at school I thought, "Hey I remember that game, I'll track it down". So I searched for it and found 3dmm Studio. I tried downloading it but of course it wouldn't, so I got it off eBay. I did a little more research and Will Cheyney directed me to 3dmm.com. I signed up under Samara Morgan, which changed about 2 months later. :)

Mr. Cheyney shows it to me as I was watching/sorta helping him update 3dmm studio in 2003.

So nobody here found 3dmm.com by the link from the old BB?

Hahaha I remember when they old BB was closing...
Will Maltby changed all the images and colors to make like there was anthrax evacuation to 3dmm.com

google.com, when i first saw this site i couldn't believe it was a real 3dmm-Site because of the HUGE member-count.

I did that, actually.

Anyway, I found 3dmm.com when I typed it in my address bar and got a 404 "page cannot be displayed" error. I thought, "hey, I should buy that".

I was really motivated because Oz had just closed McZee Ate My Trousers, and I wanted to run the next "hub" site for the community. The community was in disarray after he closed his doors, and back then a domain name like that was all it took to get everyone back together.

I was just messing around on a friends computer years ago and I saw he had it installed. Interested, I opened it up and started messing around with it. He said I could borrow it indefinately and then told me that there was some you could download off the net. A few months later when I finally got the internet, I began searching and found some sites.

Sometime during April I was looking on the net to find some way of converting .3mm files into video files. I then stumbled across 3dmm.com and i was gob smacked that there were all these people still using it and that there were expansions for it. Me and my younger brother were always wishing that Microsoft would release an upgraded form of 3dmm, but all this stuff is great.

November 2005, I have find 3dmmstudio.co.uk searching for 3D Movie Maker
I have downloaded some movie and then, in the Links page, I have found 3dmm.com

My friend got a copy free with his computer, and after a while he traded it to me for my Gameshark for Playstation. I made Rabbits Eat Lettuce 1 and 2 before I found Dragon Films.

Drugheads was the first movie I remember really being wowed by. After that I really got into the whole sniper movie thing, and I wanted to take the absurd title trend to the next step. I put together some ideas from watching other movies, and, after finding the EZBoard, reading what people in the community talked about. I worked on Apparent Lack of a Sniper at Bob the Ninja's HQ for a long long LONG time. Like, 3 months or something. That was a long time for me, since all my other movies had been done in like a maximum of two days.

So I released ALoaS and the community was totally amazed by it. Or at least I felt like they were totally amazed. I was a no name newbie at the time, and that movie pretty much got me accepted by the community, which is what I had intended it to do.

While in the process of directing ALoaS, I had come up with elaborate back story and sequal ideas. After it's release, I planned on making two small sequals, and then an epic prequel. That idea eventually turned into one giant sequal, which would switch back between past and present. That eventually turned into getting bored with 3dmm and abandoning the project altogether.

...S- ...So that's how I found 3dmm.com.

Man, sometimes, and I don't really know why this happens, I forget how long you've been here, and that you were here before me. I think it's the avatar that throws me for some reason. But then I remember the Harris-tar that you had FOREVER with the grey ninja with red...ninja bandana things, and it all comes rushing back.

Man, I miss those Harris-tars. Anyone still have theirs?

I found a link to the old ezboard forum from some crappy geocities site.
