About Moviesandbox



Moviesandbox is an Open-Source graphical filmmaking tool in progress, formerly developed for the Unreal Tournament engine and now based on C++ and OpenGL.

It allows you to easily create your own characters, sets and poses and direct them in the way you imagine. It is also an open project, which means that all the code and tools are free and open for people to change or add to, and, where possible, licensed under the lesser GPL. Development started in early 2006.

Ein kleines Puppenspiel website live

Thursday, June 12, 2008


Just a heads up that the final Moviesandbox release for Unreal Tournament (and my last project with that game/engine) is now up for your viewing either on

vimeo

or on the

project website.

All of it is in HD and is played in realtime in-engine.

It is a live-puppetry performance that has been shown twice over the course of the last six months and i am currently converting it to the new moviesandbox format (which is a long and painful process). There's lots of material that describes how it was made and if you really feel like it, you can read a 40 page booklet describing the Why and How.

Let me know what you think!
