New screenshots

I have the intro cinematics nearly done

---------------------------------------------------

C17 complete with new front-side engine effects, pilots and cockpit instruments.

---------------------------------------------------

Cinematic using AI instead of Animobjects (requires lots of flowgraphs and trackview integration)
The AI are on a moving plane (Well rotating back and forth), they aim and fire at a moving target.

Umm, those two don't live very long though.

This is very nice!:P i tried your movie tut, but i didnt go so well <,<
i cant wait untill u upload it :D

I didn't know it was possible to stand inside a moving plane on Crysis.

The plane is slowly pitching and rolling, but not actually moving through the air.
Combined with moving particles it makes for a very convincing effect.
The plane is also a RigidBody, I am not sure if that makes a large difference or not.

Currently the scene needs some tweaking for performance. The scene currently has AI, Trackview, lots of physics, sounds, particles, etc... all moving at once so currently the FPS on high drops to 15fps.

Of course I had the last part of the cutscene done last night at 3am...but forgot to save before the editor crashed. X(

how did you get nomad to rise his hand ???????

(in one of those screens)

from what i see your work looks really thourough and a lot of attention paid to it, as well as a map that looks awesome !! I can only wish you the best to continue it and finish it to the must of your capacities, i cant wait to have a chance to play this baby !!

The same way Crytek did it.
I placed a AnimObject of nomad without a head under the camera and applied an animation.
("Blinded" is the animation)

The Animobject is carefully animated to follow along with the camera.

ah,

ok

edit-- I see that Crytek did also make their levels as you did with satellite images (open up one of the maps and move up and look towards the level) :tongue:
ps sorry if someone posted this already

cant wait to play this map dud =b

I must say this looks absolutely fantastic and am really looking forward to eventually playing it.

Also many thanks for sharing your skills with us via the tutorials, it's very much appreciated...

HUGE!
I have the introduction cut-scene pretty much complete!

There are still lines to be recorded and timing that needs to be tweaked.
The video is on stage6 now.

[STAGE6]tutorials/zapwizard/2042473_How to capture great in-game video.divx[/STAGE6]

I also I made a video of my vaporizing man script:
[STAGE6]wip/zapwizard/2042464_Castaway Preview - Vaporize.divx[/STAGE6]
Again timing and lines are NOT what they will be in the game, it is proof of concept for the script. (/edit flowgraph) I will post the script later when I get home.

I also have scripts for the energy power-up (then down) which was VERY tough. And a cool damaged nano-suit script that limits your abilities until you get repaired.

There is still lots to be done however, the facility interior, several more (much less complex) cutscenes, etc... etc...

fuc*ing awesome! this is GREAT! Im looking forward!
btw the lights in the cabin shouldnt they be off? :tongue:

I'm really looking forward to this map! Also cause i watched your tuts, without them, well... I think i'd still be sitting ducks out here.

script???

you mean flowgraph

I think scripting is also determening the amount of health,speed,ammo etc. I'm not sure though.
