For my 3,000 subscriber Milestone, I'm teaching you how to make your own animations using a program that makes Source Filmmaker look like rubbish! It's 3D Movie Maker!

For those who are new here, the joke is that if you've seen my other 3DMM videos you can see I'm clearly not good at making stuff in 3D Movie Maker so I'm obviously not the right person to tell people how to use it. I guess the moral here is when making a joke tutorial, it's probably a good idea to make a script first.

Here's a few actual tips:

If you're using v3DMM, you may notice the midi import is broken, to get around this type *.mid into the file text box and press enter. Your midi files should now show up.

To add extra frames without having to move anything, hold control and click the next frame button.

If you want to upload your movie somewhere (like YouTube), you'll need to record it since 3DMM can't export your movies to any video formats. All you'll need for this is a screen capture program like OBS. Also, 3DMM uses a low frame rate (6 FPS apparently, 6.6 on XP), so you don't really need to worry about the FPS you record at.

If you just want to watch the 3mm/vmm file, you can simply open it in 3DMM/v3DMM and click play. Keep in mind that v3DMM will store all active mods in the save file. This even includes the stuff you didn't use, so keep that in mind when it comes to the file size.

If you're not on Windows and you want to install and play 3DMM, you might need a VM program like VMWare (XP should be fine for the guest OS) or an emulator like PCem if really want the Windows 95/98 experience for some reason. Also, now that 3DMM is open source, there's now a source port project called 3DMMForever. Currently it's only playable on Windows, but Linux and Mac support is one of the goals.

If you have 3DMM and v3DMM installed in Program Files (x86), then you'll need to manually add addons yourself to avoid Windows from automatically removing them. Alternatively, you could also try starting v3DMM as an admin and going to File and clicking Add expansion(s).

For advice on more advanced stuff like making your own mods and making a model compatible with 3DMM, you'll have better luck searching 3dmm.com for help as I'm not a modder.
