Secret "Socrates" Video

Opening BLDGDATA.CHK as a video will reveal that it's actually just an .AVI file renamed to .CHK. To view it in the program, you need to type "socrates" while viewing a talent book page. It starts with text "3D Movie Maker Team", and includes talking with several members of the development team.

Hidden Credits

Hidden inside the CD is a file called 3DMOVIE.MS, which is just a .3MM file with a different extension. This can be accessed without renaming the file by performing the following:

1. Go to the Studio
2. Click Scene Choices
3. Hold Control and click Cancel
4. Click the Portfolio
5. Hold Shift and click New
