Kiopo Member Posts: 983 From:Liverpool, UK Registered: Jul 2001 | posted 12-04-2001 02:28 PM Well maybe someone had the idea before, but I thought of it ages ago and it works, but I forgot to tell yaz. It's about makin cut-scenes, I don't know how to put them in your games but I know how to make them easily and effectively. You need something called screencorder which an old version of it is free, it basically records what happens on your PC. Then you make a level that you want to appear in your cut-scene. Place camera's everywhere though so it doesn't look in-gamey, and you can use the look key @ a distance from the camera without lara turning see-through so you can move her head, and also walkin looks better than running. Then set any actions you want to happen, whether it be baddies, doors or traps etc... Then activate screencorder, run your level and do what you want to do, and it'll save to an AVI file (sounds are recorded too). If you want speech use another tool to mix in some voices. I hope this helps you guys, and good luck Kiopo(.com) IP: Logged

I don't think you know what I mean Ultimate.Reality, Not takin loads of screens n puttin em in I mean recordin you playin a level thats made like a set. And you obviously didn't think of it before coz A) you'd have done it and B) you never found the tools to do it. Also I have no intention of puttin it into a cut file, I just mean you could release it as an AVI with your level and they could look @ it first.
