Has anyone already made a money addon? With American bills & coins? Also other countries currency? Becuase I made some of my own models a while back so I was wondering if it would be useful if I made them into an addon. Would it?

Only if the actors can actually manipulate them. Like in the first couple of minutes here:-

Yes, the would be interactive. Just wondering why they would have to be though?

I just can't see a great deal of use for stationary piles of money.

Have you made any movies yet? You get a better idea of what is really useful in Moviestorm if you start trying to animate scripts. Otherwise you risk going down the route of just creating more and more set dressing which doesn't necessarily add to the story.

If you look at the iClone forums for example you will see dozens of people developing really great props and costumes for a super powerful animation platform, but hardly anyone making movies, which is, after all, the whole point of Moviestorm.

Otherwise, if you just like making 3d models why not stay inside SketchUp or go down the SketchFab route?

My current project, my characters do interact with money (bills). So yeah, it would be nice to have characters interact with it. My characters handle and count it. I do agree, having people interact w/ objects makes for a better movie. I do have stacks of money already but handling it - is a plus.

I've made quite a few movies, just never pushlished them.


Anyways, I need help. A year ago, I made an interactive something, I forgot what it was. Than my computer crashed and I lost everything. I forgot completely,about Moviestorm until a few months ago. I completely forget how to make an animated prop. I was wondering if you could teach me something. I'm running Windows 8 on a mac using boot camp. I have milkshape and fragmotion. I was wondering if you could teach me the basic steps.

I think Jamoram already pointed you to the relevant tutorials. There is no short route to learning I'm afraid, most of us started by following them. So just roll up your sleeves and start following the instructions
