The begining

I saw the machinima movie made by using 3d online game engine for the first time in collab class in 2008. I was impressed with Machinima using online game. Even though the visual quality of it is bad compared to other game engine such as Cry ,Half life, and Unreal , it have many merits.online game provide easy interface to users and also give flexibility to manipulate character and animation. However, I also found some problems with it. It was difficult to shoot a film in certain area where many users are connected due to latency and we should find a location to take a shoot because there are some limitations for making props and building environment to users who do not have land in online. When I have doubts about using online game engine for making a movie, I got email about another 3d online game engine,which is realXtend, from jenny who was teacher in collab. So I made my first machinima using this game engine for mini thesis. On june,I tried to study this game engine more and found some possibilities to apply next prototype.
