    You can. I believe that the Game Mechanics Kit has tools to make in-game cutscenes easier, and you can use the Theora video playback system to play pre-rendered videos. Verve is designed specifically for in-game scenes.

    I would contact the developers of these products and check on their update status to ensure they are compatible with your version of T3D.

    You can do all of it yourself if you like. In-game scenes shouldn't be too hard in script - the exciting part will be programming smooth camera motion. Some of the old Plastic Tips can be integrated into T3D with a little elbow grease and they would help alot with this.

    Some creative scripting will help you make in-game cutscenes. Torque will even output a movie for you, if that is needed. For pre-rendered cutscenes just use a theora control for playback.
