Yes, another topic with the title "Machinima".  Smiley Some might have seen it coming I guess.
Obviously, the topics fit for every game that allows to create machinimas, and Cube 2 certainly is one of them.

Basically, I'm planning to do some projects, maybe with, or maybe without actual players. Depends on whether enough players are willing to do such a project. A simple action movie can also be done with bots, I reckon. But to give it some more sense, it'd certainly be useful to have players. Anyway...

Camera controls are piece of cake in spectator mode. You can switch off the HUD and everything else. There's also options for zooming, which you can customize - and Cube 2 has got an integrated recording system, so Fraps isn't needed. That opens a lot of opportunities.

Some guys might remember my FC2 machinima project "Crater Island", which I have accomplished with the great help from Menace and Negrumir. In Cube 2, it would work similar if there are actual players, but way easier as there are two things: You can switch off the HUD entirely, you can switch between flying mode and actual walking in no time, and you don't need to open a chat window.

However, there are some problems: 1. Not enough player models 2. Names above all players and bots.

Well a machinima is a term used for a video game being used as the base for a storyline... That is to say, if I recorded footage of a battle and had it all planned out and acted in the game, that's a machinima. 

Also, Machinima is a website and youtube channel that used to show this kind of stuff, but has now degraded to showing tons of MW2, Black Ops, and Halo Montages, commentaries, and the like.

Yes... Machinima is a word consisting of cinema machine and animation, and stands for movies made with videogames.

Pretty much what Neg said, except that it doesn't necessarily have to have a story behind it. Tongue Could be just bits of a random shooting scene stuck together, and if it's well made then even stuff with no sense can be amusing to watch.

So what I've done here with Cube 2 is not my best work I can say, but my excuse for that is that it's relatively time consuming to create machinima montages with Cube - harder than I've expected it. It may be easier than with certain games like JC2 that's for sure, but kind of annoying still.

I didn't mean "Story" as in a Lord of the Rings novel... I just meant something other than a game preview, review, kill montage, gameplay commentary, etc...

(For some reason image embedding doesn't work)

Yeah, my photoshop skills got a bit rusty, and that's what I'm gonna do to get back into it: A new video project. After months of doing absolutely NOTHING on that basis.

In terms of creativity I was taking the offroad track literally, due to some reasons. Time to get back on.
