Some of the left over graphics indicate that it originally shared a similar aesthetic as Creative Artist/Writer

Wow, incredible news! I remember Travis Wells doing all sorts of neat hacks to modify it even without the source back in the day.

I think he tried to get MS to open source it back then too.

Glad to see it finally happened.Is that guy still around?

Yep. They're me. Travis Wells was my 3DMM Alias, Foone Turing is my real name.

I have been on my bullshit for SO LONG

Foone · 05-04-2022, 06:57 PM

BTW I did a thread over on twitter talking about my plans going forward with the source.

TL;dr:
1. Collect more BRender versions, pester companies to get more BRender games open sourced.
2. Make a modernized-3DMM version. Minimal changes, just get it working on Windows 10/11, fix bugs that popped up because of changes in windows over the last 27 years.
3. Make a 3DMM But Better version. (I am, of course, calling it Movie Maker Plus). Drop the 256-color limitation, native video export, easy importing of new textures/objects, replace the rendering, new tools for making movies, etc.

Are there any PBM file converters? A cursory google search brings up Portable BitMap as a format, but converters and GIMP can't open the ones included in the source?

Hi, I have contacted the pope and he says he'd like to bless you because he too loves 3D Movie Maker.

Yeah I need to look into that. I think they're using their own format with the same extension.

Some findings:

A note between Team Socrates members

Beta 3D Word GUI

Costume button?

Beta render of theater

Depth maps of backstage props

TONY1.AVI, most likely a render test, but without proper depth maps and very low res

Dev screenshots from Windows 3.1, because Windows 95 just simply wasn't a thing

BiznessMan · 05-04-2022, 07:58 PM

I've been trying to build the source on an old PC of mine, but I think some files may be incomplete or missing. Mainly, I can't build some of the .objs from the kauai directory. When I try to build kauai from the source I get a compile error (something about not being able to convert a short* to long*)

I'll keep chipping away at it. I have the debug flag on so I'd be curious to see what kind of debug goodies we might have access to (if any)
