Machinima Solutions
Machinima is the art of filmmaking using 3D environments in real time. It is a relatively new genre of filmmaking that combines the skills of a film maker and a 3D designer or game creator. It is a very cost effective way of creating films and provides the director greater creative control.
Blink 3D is particularly well suited to the creation of Machinima and has:
- Multiple cameras and views
- Multi-user with avatars
- Depth of field
- Motion blur
- Particle systems
- 3D Sound
- Post processing effects
- No license costs
- Behaviors can be used to add animation avoiding the need to write code.
- Easy camera positioning and animated movement
To create a Machinima movie, the Director records either scripted or live action directly from the virtual world using a product such as Fraps, switching cameras and adding in effects as needed. The live action can be archived by remote users controlling their avatars in the 3D environment, triggering animated moves such as shaking the head or laughing. The resulting takes are then assembled in to a movie using normal digital file editing techniques.
