- 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.

- 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...

- 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!

- 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.
