What are the advantages of Machinima?
Machinima provides: the real-time recording of human/scripted performances and events – akin to shooting film; eliminates the rendering process. the creative flexibility of artistic assets moved over time akin to animation; allows total control over visual representation of characters, events, etc. an interactive environment provides a space where characters can interact and real-world physics can be reproduced. Hardware driven playback is resolution independent. Because Machinima can be shot live or scripted in real-time, it’s much faster to produce than traditional CGI animation. A live action director should feel right at home and an animation director will be able to direct without having to rely on key frames. Multiple takes can be made in real-time or just a few takes while the rest is adjusted in post, dependent on the director’s style. Additionally, instead of rendering frames of animation or video streams, some Machinima is recorded at the data level only capturing positions,
