Move it! Latest animation mods A couple of months ago, we released the data for the Moviestorm skeletons to the mod community, along with some tutorials on how they work. This has given people everything they need to start creating animations. So far nearly 100 new animations have been released by modders, most of them free. For this mod round-up, we’ve collected together as many of the new animation packs as we can find.
Cats and dogs: mods by writerly Moviestorm user Craig Rintoul (known online as writerly) has suddenly exploded onto the mod scene with a flood of new releases. His recent work is going in a direction that no other modder is really taking just yet, so we’re devoting this entire post on latest mods to him.
Around the world with Moviestorm We’re finally catching up with the recent mod releases. This selection has an assortment of miscellaneous mods, with no particular theme.
Third party mods
Moddingstorm | Mods'n'more | Machinimods | Zarathustra Studios | Leefilm Productions | Zordork Productions | PapaG Mods | 3D Tree | K Arthur Films | Create your own
In addition to the packs in the Marketplace, there are loads of mods available from other Moviestorm users. Some are free, some cost money, and the quality varies wildly. Some may require you to have specific content packs installed in order to use them.
There's no central repository for mods, but here are some places to look. This isn't an exhaustive list - let us know of any others we don't know about! The new releases section of the modders' forum is a great way to find out what's new and who's building what, and we have regular posts about recent mods in Moviestorm News.
Please note that third party mods are not supported by Moviestorm. Not all mods will work on all versions of Moviestorm, and some mods may not be compatible with others.
