Source engine movies

[herbster]

yes, this isnt the place to discuss things of this nature but if someone could tell me how to add a thread to the mods section, i would greatly appreciate it.

anyway, i was wondering if anyone would be interested in perhaps aiding me and a pal in making source-engine movies when they release that power to us, as my group currently knows nothing about modding of any kind. Basically we also want to know what people think of the idea of source engine movies. or if anyone has any ideas for source ... movies i.e. nothing too complex or long.

What did you have in mind for a movie?

 

[herbster]

[Pauly]

herbster, what Hell is going on here?

 

[Zakat]

movies done using the source engine..? Meh, why not simply make it in Maya or some shit

 

[Murray_H]

I think he is referring to machinima, talk to Pendragon, he's got a mod team in this area

 

[Zakat]

Oh... okay... But that technology is the Source Engine right..? Wouldn't the movies have to be mods for HL2 then? That'd give the movies system requirements.

 

[Zakat]

I'm slow today btw, sorry.

 

[ComradeBadger]

And why the hell isn't this in the Editing section? (possibly help wanted and offered)

Oh, and you can't post in 'Mod News' becuase funnily enough, it's for Mod NEWS

Anyway, no worries, just think before posting next time

yeah making it in maya might take a little longer dude, like 1 yr or more.
