Want to make a movie. Is there some way to use the Eve game engine to make movies. I am aware the Clear Sky (bloody brilliant btw) was made with Eve but it took 2 years. I also assume it was difficult using it in such a way. Is there any way ccp could release a version of the client specifically for this purpose? And/or I am interested in any software that would allow for the personal models to be made and animated easily. If you have any suggestion for this I would love to hear them. I think it would do tons for the player rp community to be able to actually make their stories into small movies for eve. Myself I have a few ideas and as long as I dont have to learn to write computer code I am willing to invest some time into this effort. Anyway, would love to hear feedback on this from other players and ccp. Thansk.

Tbh, I think it might be worth waiting for Ambulation before making ingame movies with walking around and stuff.. I can imagine that what took most of the time was recreating stations, ships and such in HL2, rather than the spaceship footage.

I'm pretty sure that you can legally export the models to a 3D modeling program of choice as long as you give proper credit and don't try and sell anything with it. You actually gain a lot of creative freedom by not being tied to the game engine itself. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

What I want is the name of the piece of software that synched the lip/mouth movements with the voice. You can't posibly make me believe that it was done with 3D Studio or whatever a frame at a time. If you turn down the sound, you can almost lip read them. It would take years alone to synch all that dialogue so smoothly.
It is done so often in cutscenes of modern games that there must be a program purposely written to do it.

As other people have said, you can get all of the models into a 3rd party program. I'm not sure if you can reproduce the engine flares or guns, but those look crappy anyway IMO so you could reproduce it yourself.
Most of Clear Skies was made in HL2...obviously until ambulation you won't be able to do animations with people in EVE.

Someday, EVE may look like this. |
