Been playing around with Muvizu. Great work amazing graphics too. It has a bit of a lag but that is due to me running it on my laptop. No worries though.
I've read through the forum and haven't seen anything to answer any question I have about it.

Questions:
Is there a way to make the characters less cartoony?
What 3D animation program can help me create new objects?
Will that program save them in the correct format to import them into muvizu?

I do like how well the characters mouth moves when I record my voice.

One more little thing, when I grabs the bottom part of the building with holding the left mouse it wasn't dragging the building so I could move it. It did a little but kept glitching on me. didn't know if it might be something I did wrong. Anyways thank you for making a K.A. Program!

You can use the custom texture maps to make them more realistic and turn down the exaggeration slider to make them act less frenetically

Any program that will support .ASE export - this usually means a plugin is required. For example there is a plugin for SKETCHUP, MAYA and BLENDER - best to look at the tutorials on this aspect.

It could be because it's movement is being blocked by a nearby object. Try lifting it up first using both mouse buttons and then drag it with the left button

thanks

Welcome erosryder! Hope you have as much fun as the rest of us!!!

As to your questions...
I see toonarama beat me to it by a couple of minutes. All I can add is that for moving the house blocks you may find that you cannot move the bottom one if there's one on top. Grouping them would sort this. Otherwise its as toonarama says a nearby object could be in your way, including a ground plane. The collision envelope can extend a bit beyond the visible boundaries of the object so it may not be something obviously in the way.
