I played this for hundreds of hours. One of my favorite tricks was to make expanding blood by deflating a red sphere hidden in the character's body, halfway in the ground.

[@ElChuntyCabra]

Yes!! I did that too! I used the exploding sphere for blood splattering also lol

[@Kehwanna]

Same. Or turn the letters L and F into guns, then make the exploding yellow sphere look like gun fire.

Not any harder than 3dmm was to make. It would just use modern graphics. 3dmm, while cartoony, had a pretty good model for making short movies.

[@JunkerKun]

Uh... The Movies by Lionhead?

[@names_are_useless]

You actually didn't have nearly the same control with scenes in The Movies as you did 3D Movie Maker. Admittedly The Movies had better graphics, more scene options, far superior character creation ... but 3D Movie Maker gave you freedom to place characters wherever you wanted to, put whatever objects in any scenes you like, defy physics all you'd like, etc.
