TGE Possible to have Pre-rendered Cinematics?

by Alex Strand · in General Discussion · 04/16/2008 (8:05 pm) · 2 replies

Hi, I'm thinking of buying TGE but I want to render my own cinematics in Carrara 6 because it has High-Quality render capabilities. I was wondering if I could animate a Cinematic in Carrara, Export it as a Video File (.Avi, .Mpg, .Mov, Etc) and import it into TGE as a Cinematic.

PS: Yeah, I know my name sounds dumb. But I thought it up while playing Halo 2.

Torque supports video playing using the Theora codec.

There is some scripting involved, (you have to tell the engine you want to play a movie, and where that movie file is), but it's not much work. The Theora codec to create the movies is available at the theora.org site.
