[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;29692798]What about multiple cameras?
If you are asking if we can use multiple cameras, it would be a bit poor if we couldn't.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Are you allowed to switch between several cameras as scenes in a way?[/QUOTE]
That was indeed what I was asking. The rule notice about the camera moving got me a bit confused.

- Absolutely no player movement (Excluding NPCS)
- Must be through a camera view (Does not have to be moving on a rail system, though it's recommended)
I.E Anything through a camera is fine.

also: - Absolutely no player movement (Excluding NPCS)
no player movement excluding npc's (so in other words No Player Characters)
how can that be player movement in the first place? :v:
And I was more confused by the fact that you can also have multiple cameras instead of one moving thats what got me thinking that you are perhaps not allowed to have multiple cameras.

I have multiple moving cameras, and multiple static ones. A film has hundreds of camera shots, not just one. Also, you need to be able to focus on different parts of action, something you cannot do with one moving camera.
I just watched a video of the crytek engine, it looked really easy to make an amazing map, with the real time lighting updates and not having to compile a full map for an hour but instead jump right in and have a look at it. I'm really impressed with what Valve have created with Hammer, I mean its really not an impressive piece of software right now is it?
....What?
I read that through three times and have yet to make out any meaning. Read your posts before you post them.

You mean like what unreal engine has been doing for years?
I am however unsure as to what this has to do with a cinematic competition.

Hammer is terrible compared to other map editors, its way behind and I'm impressed what valve can do with so little.

It's designed for a purpose. It's meant to be a simple to use editor, and that's a hard thing to accomplish. It's not designed for anyone to use except valve and the mappers for the engine. I respect them for that.
If you want to make a game, use unreal ed, as they will give you what you want. Valve will give you what you need.

Ah good point, also wrong thread.

Hammer is only like this because Valve are using BSP, lightmapping and precompiled visibility. Wait a few (or a lot of) years and they'll surely update everything to what we had 5 years ago.

You can have NPCs and Multiple cameras
Alright, so I think I know what to do.. It might not be worth winning, but better than nothing at least :v:

It's also the most efficient engine on the market, hell my friend just beat the HL2 campaign on his shitty computer and he crashed when playing Super Meat Boy.
Oi Judges: What are your PC specs? So I know if I can use 4096x512 texture or not.
Just go for it, not your fault if they lag to high heaven.

Actually it would be completely his fault :v:
I have a pretty shitty PC, but I can run most source games pretty well
Pentium 4 3ghz
Nvidia 9500gt
4gb Ram
Windows 7
My specs, they are funny

But most Source games don't use textures higher than 1024x1024.
On an unrelated note, my backspace key has decided to nor work.
My PC is to an alright standard.

Love it when that happens

Unless anyone wants to [I]convince[/I] me wrong
This sounds fun, although I've never done any camera work in Hammer. I might give it a try.
My set so far:

Would bots in Counter-Strike: Source be considered usable for characters?

Are you serious? Oh, you are. Uh, maybe?
I'm scrapping my idea. I'll come up with something else.
Also, if any judges can't run a specific entry because it runs too slow or something I could use my computer for it: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13781308/Speccy.jpg[/url]

As long as they're npcs
It's just occurred to me that I completely misread the rules, so snip.
