Title: Basic intro/outro tutorial for beginners ?
Post by: gambla on 12 Nov 2007, 08:38:04

Hi,
for OFP, i made little ugly waypoint-cam-intros and it was hard enough. Now i looked around but i didn't find any real basic tutorial for making intros/outros/cutscene without scripting ?
It just should allow beginners to create a little, short nice movie.

Can you guys help ?

thanks and have a nice sunday !  :)

i think the problem you'll encounter is that so many editors have discovered how simple scripting a short sequence can be, no-one bothers with trigger/waypoint-based cutscenes any more. scripting it involves about as much effort, and is a whole heap more dynamic.

there are some good easy tutes in the ed depot for ofp camera scripting, and as far as i know they all still apply to arma.

Hi
In case you use scripting with OFP syntax it'll give most probably some probs in ArmA with LOD's and rendering of where the camera is created due to the fact that you need to use preload Camera commands. I'm having probs with that one too. As far as I know there's no tute for camscripting commands for ArmA right now. I'm also looking anxiously for something like this.

Thank you,
no, i didn't plan to use any scripts. I thought there is a real easy way.  :dunno:
Ok, i'll have a look for these tuts.
