    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.

      UPDATE: About an hour with Claude gave me this: https://3dmmex.pages.dev/

      It actually works reasonably well from what I can tell, though I haven't thoroughly tested it.

      Honestly there's a huge void online for a new xtranormal

    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?

    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

    I had never heard of this piece of software before. I would be very interested in trying it out on Linux.
