Title: Trailers, in game vids etc...
Post by: Gunblade on May 09, 2001, 06:59:00 am

what tools do I need for trailers?  Like getting in game video footage?  Background music. Extensive cutting and scene changes. etc...

------------------
"I'll be here..."
"Why...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'...here..."
"For what?"
"I'll be waiting for you so...if you come here...you'll find me.  I promise."

A lot of tools... plus decent knowledge (I´m talking about more than one year of experience in 3D Modelling). That´s too heavy for the average FS Modder  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Try telling Styxx that, he did the MT one all by himself.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

In-game cutscenes - now that is a challenge.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Here's a simple example.

Make a short avi of some capital ships flying past the camera using a 3D program like 3D Studio max or TrueSpace. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Not for you....but for me and the rest of the populace...its not an easy proposition.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

So all of the people with ideas of grandure...get of your pedestle before it falls to the ground.  Its not easy, but, I commend you if you can do it.

The person who can do a short avi of a capital ship firing a beam cannon in 3D would be a good 3D animator.

Anybody here up to it? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
