Intro animation

by Harald Martinsen · in Artist Corner · 02/07/2002 (11:07 pm) · 4 replies

Hi all

I need to make an intro animation that uses the engine it self. Is it possible to animate camera and let it start playing before the the real game map starts.

Or, if this is impossible, is it some way I can record as AVI when I move around in the game, and then play this back later.

Thanks

Harald

There are Demo recording functions but I think they are broken at the moment...I think Phil Carlisle was looking to fix them but I dont know how far he has gotten. I think he also said something about looking into recording it to AVI.

Yep, this kind of functionality is high on my todo list, just got a few other things to clear up first (all part of the grand plan :))) (as if).

Wont take too long.

Can you tell me what movie format I should consider using given your intro animation ideas that will get implemented?
