Re: [Submod] Movie Events + Campaign Intro Video Mod

I saw something the other day while comparing the Shogun II + Rome II + Attila event message scripts which gave me an idea that might make it possible). But I can technically do those kind of cinematic-rendered videos, especially the defeated environment one - that looks super easy to do since it just looks like a baked ncloth animation (i.e. the flag) surrounded by static 3D objects + some particles from the game along with fixed lighting and a camera matinee (with varying amounts of motion / proximity blur depending on shutter speed / focal proximity values etc) following a specified route.
The harder scenes to do for the movies will be the ones requiring completely new interior 3D art and character animations (however, once RMV2 can export animations, my workload will be a lot less - all of the cinematic animations they used for the trailers are actually in the game's files (e.g. Senators sitting down, angry Senators, General triumph, General walking up stairs, cheering Citizens, ambushing soldiers etc)). Here's a blockout I've just started for an upcoming interior scene I'll be using for a Roman-related movie.
