Cutscene support in Ogre?

Post by qaz1 »

Can Ogre play intros and cutscenes in my game? By cutscenes I mean pre-rendered ones: image sequences of tga's, png's etc. rendered from MAX or Maya; I don't mean in-game cutscenes.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do this. There is a ffmpeg based plugin to render videos. For simple image scenes (like GTA 4 loading screen) you could use overlays or define a special state (Advanced Ogre Framework)

I'm afraid the simple one for playing GTA intros won't do. I need to be able to play serious things, like the cutscenes in Blizzard games (Diablo 1,2, Starcraft etc.) but only as cutscenes; I don't need a full media player engine.
Any other examples of free libraries/plugins, with source, for Ogre or not, that do the same thing?
