<BR>
So you<6F>ve finished a scene and wish to make an avi of it.<BR>
You will need a program like Adobe Premiere or After effects.<BR>
Anox can render out a targa sequence for you. 30 screenshots a second. DO YOU HAVE THE HARD DRIVE SPACE!?!?!?
<P>
Remember that your screen resolution determines how Large the screenshot render is.<BR>
I render them at out gl_mode 4 which becomes a 720x480 screenshot, which is TV standard. Each screen will be about 1.4 megs.
<P>
Gl_mode 4 makes 640x400 at .9 megs.
<P>
So load up your map that the scene is in.<BR>
Exec trailer.cfg<BR>
U & I toggles between drawing text and NOT drawing text.<BR>
Type your command<BR>
ui_playscene render_this_scene<BR>
and when it starts, hit <20>j<EFBFBD><BR>
and step back and watch your hard drive fill up.<BR>
Hit <20>k<EFBFBD> when it is done.
<P>
Picture is done.
<P>
The Travico has had some success running windows media recorder, then running Anox and then running the scene, capturing the audio in real time.
<P>
Now run premiere and import the targa (.tga) sequence. Now bring in the audio file and sync it up. Render out an .avi.
<P>
Wonderful thing!

Tutorial 38: Making a level ambient<BR>
Load up anox, run map bricksb.<BR>
All those ships flying around are on long-winded level ambient that repeats itself.<BR>
Check out the Travico Magic show in map secmach.
<P>
They are just scenes with no cameras.
<P>
The only Rule is, that the model nodes start and end at exactly the same node, so that when it repeats itself, there isn<73>t a glitch.
<P>
Newscript<BR>
Newent=ob_automap;floor=0<BR>
Have it start moving around for ten seconds then comes to rest at the exact node it start out in.<BR>
Save the script<BR>
Now bring down the console<BR>
Ui_loopambient automap_ambient_test
<P>
Does it look good?
<P>
In APE the first switch is usually the autoload switch. It sets music, level ambient lighting, some special variable and LEVEL AMBIENTS!
