Game Mechanics Kit *Cut Scene Editor* for T3D

Greetings everyone!

Unfortunately Game Mechanics Kit 1.2.4 is yet to be uploaded to your GG accounts, so if you are a registered user of GMK you can get it right now if you'll email me at logicking@logicking.com with subject "GMK 1.2.4". Please don't forget to write your email/account at GarageGames.com.


Meanwhile we're working on new GMK update.

I want to remind of GMK Cut Scene Editor. It's available for all GMK version including T3D. I don't know how many GMK users are actually using this editor for their needs, but I'm willing to hear about new features you might want us to add to Cut Scene Editor in the future versions of GMK. Please post your suggestions right here or in the Game Mechanics Kit FORUM.


Cut scenes are important part of many modern computer games. Crisis, Doom3, Quake4, Call Of Duty use cut scenes a great deal. Onetime you want to introduce player with a new monster in a dramatic fashion, other time you need to show some action (the door is opening), which happens in response to a player use of a certain lever. Cut Scene Editor in conjunction with original GMK Editor makes these tasks a real cakewalk.

Features of GMK Cut Scene Editor:

- Create, edit and test camera fly-paths right within GMK Editor. You won't need to restart mission, reload editor or something. Just press "Fly path" button. You can add unlimited number of paths to a single Cut Scene object.

- Variable speed of camera movement. You can assign overall speed of movement in Cut Scene object, and change it in arbitrary fashion on each of path's waypoints.

- Interaction with other game objects. You can order another objects (NPC, Doors etc) play
different animations whenever camera reaches certain waypoint.

- Camera "look at" mode allows you to assign random fly path, but camera will always look at certain position or object. For example you can setup camera to always look at certain NPC's face.

- Sound or music can be added easily to support cut scene.
