Update to Bonus Content: Violin and animations.

This update to the Bonus Content includes a classical violin, which can be used on set as a static item or by your characters as an animated held prop. It includes a wooden or tintable body material and character animations so that it can be played on the low and high strings. Combine this prop with the piano, drum kit , saxaphone, trumpet and guitar items and you'll soon have a full band to perform in your movies!

New Content Pack: Classroom.

Here's a great pack for any scenarios that you need to create that have classrooms, students or education in general.

There's a sizeable selection of school uniforms, school furniture and teaching stock in this new pack (such as books, an interactive whiteboard, stationary and other props). We’ve also included some useful animations to allow your characters to play out their roles as teachers and students, and you can portray any subject or topic by simply changing the whiteboard’s main image.

Indian Culture

Here’s a great pack for adding a bit of Indian Culture to your movies in the form of a traditional Indian taxi, road signs and textures, props for your interiors and some authentic Indian costumes. There’s an intricate fireplace, privacy screen and ceiling fan for your house interiors, a road and pavement texture (along with kerbstones to separate them), plus a selection of market stalls and telephone/ power cables to dress your streets.
Both costumes (a pajami for your female characters and a kurta for the males) have pattern variations and, as usual, there’s a version of each that you can tint to any colour.

Upcoming Pack - Construction Site

After being put on the back-burner for a while due to development of Moviestorm 1.5 and various Bonus Content assets, we are now almost ready to release a complete pack, called "Construction Site".
As you may have guessed by the name of the AddOn, this pack contains a selection of Building/ Construction props for your Moviestorm Scenes. There's a back-hoe type digger, a cement mixer, scaffolding, a skip, bricks and blocks, safety fencing and piles of sand which you can drop into your set like any other Moviestorm asset. For your characters, there's overalls for both male and female characters with an option to add high-vis waistcoats. Of course, the obligatory yellow hard hat is also included in the pack - we wouldn't want your characters to get injured...
All being well, this pack will be available in the marketplace before the end of the week, and it will be priced very competitively (in Moviestorm Points) against our previous packs.

Update to Bonus Content: Microphone.

For this update, we’re bringing you a microphone held-prop so that your characters can perform a selection of singing, interviewing and recording animations.
Unlike microphones available in our other packs, this one has a wider selection of animations allowing your characters to sing, rap and carry the microphone from one location to another, or perform interviews in a outside-broadcast type way. Also, the microphone itself can be shown as a singing microphone, outside broadcast microphone or voice recorder, depending on your needs.
As always, the download is free if you are a paying customer of Moviestorm Complete or Moviestorm Themes – you just need to register for the license at the bottom of the following page and then all of the bonus content will be installed the next time you use Moviestorm.

Bonus Content - Pot of pills

This week’s Bonus Content item is a rather-useful pot of pills that you can use as a static prop (e.g. placed on a surface within your set), or a held prop (that your character can use). When it was first mentioned on our “possible bonus content assets” list, I started to think of possible scenarios where such a prop might be useful, and I think this particular asset is going to prove to be quite popular!
There’s essentially four main parts to this prop:

• A customisable pot that can be used as a set item
• A customisable tablet (capsule or pill) that can be used as a set item
• A held prop “pot” with animations for your characters
• A held prop “tablet” with a show/ hide command for your character to hold in his/ her hand

Basically this means that it’s a pretty flexible prop, useful as set dressing as well as getting you characters to re-enact that gritty medical drama scene.
We hope you all enjoy the latest update, and please remember that you will only get these assets as a paid subscriber. If you haven’t yet registered for the Bonus Content pack, you can do so from the Marketplace page.

New Bonus Content - Binoculars.

Hi Moviestormers!
The keen-eyed amongst you will have noticed a small update today when you started Moviestorm. We've added a new item to the Bonus Content AddOn pack in the form of a set of binoculars that can be used as a static prop or held prop for both male and female characters. You can get the bonus pack from the Marketplace if you are a current paid subscriber.
We're looking forward to a stream of spy, soldier and ornithology movies that feature this new prop, so please post them up to your channels as usual! Remember, there is now a dedicated thread in the forums so that you can suggest future props for us to make, so feel free to make a request or two!

Elevator - Bonus Content Update!

This week, we've added a nice elevator to the Bonus Content addon for all of your Moviestorm building interiors. The model has multiple variations; one-sided, two-sided, tintable, free-standing, part of a wall, etc. plus there's a few animations provided (such as opening/ closing the doors, pushing buttons etc.) to make it really easy to use and incorporate into your sets.
As usual, paying subscribers with the Bonus Content Addon will get the update automatically the next time they start Moviestorm (you can find out if you are eligible for the pack here.)

Construction Assets

We're in the process of testing a few building site assets that may soon be distributed with the Bonus Content pack (unless we decide to go for a bespoke Construction Pack), to help users create construction scenes within Moviestorm (as illustrated by the image shown, kindly provided by warmanivan).
The general idea is to slowly provide quite a diverse selection of more abstract props and costumes, allowing all you Moviestormers to create content of any genre. As always, we keep a close eye on all the forum threads and support emails, along with all the other methods of communication to get a feel for what our users want us to produce next. Keep those requests coming, they are all noted, even if we don't respond immediately!

Bonus Content Update - ATM/ Cash Machine.

Hi Moviestormers!
There is now an update available for the Bonus Content pack that include a couple of ATM's (or cash machines, if you're from the UK) and some animations so that your characters can use them. As usual with the Bonus Content, your pack will automatically update when you next restart Moviestorm. If you haven't yet applied for your Bonus Content license, you can do so at the bottom of the following page: Bonus Content Marketplace page
Please note that trial users do not have access to the Bonus Content pack.

New content pack coming soon: 1AD

Here's an interesting new content pack that you'll find very useful for your historical projects, Middle Eastern re-enactments, or even a desert scene on a planet far, far away...

The pack contains a selection of earthenware style pots, a useful market stall that you can fill with your Moviestorm wares, plus a costume for both the male and female characters as you can see in the following video. Keep your eyes peeled for the release of 1AD over the next week.

This week's free asset - Wheelchair.

Hello Moviestormers,
We've got another great asset for you to download as part of the Bonus Content this week, in the form of a rather useful wheelchair. Characters can sit in the chair, put their feet onto the footrests, and power the wheels with their hands. You can also animate the chair (with or without a seated character) by using the same shift-drag method as animating Moviestorm cars.


As before, this object will update automatically if you already have the Bonus Content Pack, or you can get the pack with this (and the previous bonus content) from the Marketplace page (if you are a current paying customer).
