Spider,

1. Particles - These are built-in. You define how you want the particle-emitter to behave by scripting a few particle datablocks and then you place them via the built-in editing tools.

2.Pathed Cameras - Pathed cameras are placed with the tools and controlled by scripts that you will have to write.

3. Movies - You can create a movie of your game using a third-party tool like FRAPS (or any other AVI recording software).

Hope that helps!

Thanks alot for your fast response ,

In this time i don't want to make movie for my game.

i just want to make reel for my game .. for example i wish to make the below sequense:

1- Let's say i made a box and something written on one side of the box.

2- Controlling the camera to move around that box and zoom in close to the text .

3-The movie end when the camera is close enough to show the text.

The question is ...

Can i write a script to make auto run demo (reel) for someting like above ?
or is there any ready made script (template) which can be use to control the camera oin a path .?

i really wish to create TV reels using this powerful engine to make things just like here : www.scene.org

But iu'm not a programmer ... how possible to do this please .

Thanks again
