You would be having to use a 3D program such as Maya, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, SoftImage, etc...
It's not something you can just do at the touch of a button. I'd recommend you stay well away from trailers etc. until you've got some polished stuff to put them with.
If you really need them, ask someone politely if they'd make a few short trailers/movies for you, I'm sure someone would do it. That isn't an invitation to start spamming the boards demanding help though.

Have the Source Code people figured out a way to remove the HUD yet for that though? I haven't been keeping too up to date with the progress there.

Yes, there's a key for it, but it hasn't been put into a sexp yet.

Nor have they made my view-from-ship sexps.

I live in hopes, though.

But there are the set-ship-position and set-ship-facing sexps, as well as the no briefing and no debriefing mission flags. :nod:

Excellent.

Actually, those aren't in 3.5.1. :nervous: But yes, FRED 3.5 is out.

That would be great if they could do that. :) And also if they can find a way to record in-game playing.

The latest release (which right now is 3.5.1) will always be at http://fs2source.warpcore.org/exes/latestrelease.exe.  There's a 3.5.1 link somewhere; Inquisitor posted a thread not too long ago but it probably got buried very quickly.
