Ok, there are two ways to zoom in really close.
1: Lock the camera on a target
--use trigger - Camera Set Camera Field Distance to 600.
--If this is too close, up it to 700, and if it's too far, lower it to 500.

2: The second way is how I did it in Insaniteus Cinematics.
--I placed the unit in WE exactly where he would be at in-game at that exact moment.
--I moved the WE screen around (Using Ctrl right mouse drag and mouse wheel) until I got a good close-up on the target unit.
--I then went to Camera palette and hit "New Camera" and a new camera was made looking at exactly what I was looking at.
The problem with method 2 is that you have to know exactly where a unit will be at the time to use it. This isn't a problem in a cinematic map, but in a real map it could be trouble.

Sorry, but I'm busy with Rise of Nekrix, Skinning Draco's DBZ Mod, AND the UMS Campaign (you know, I don't think we've even named it yet lol).

You should be able to make a good flick without me. Have fun!

Ok. First off, Orzokiki, how many posts have you put on this thread? 20? I'm impressed Insaniteus; it looks like you've got some fans :)

The skins for you campaign are looking good, btw.

Oh, and changing the angle of attack to really high starts flipping the camera around.

"Draco's DBZ Mod", eh? Actually it's more like an rpg/map type thing, but hey, you never know. ;)

Later.

Well Insaniteus, you certainly get around It's cool to see more of your work. And yes everyone, we are doing a campaign at UMS Maps and it's gonna ROK! Hehe, ok, bad pun but seriosuly it's gonna be good. Go to www.forums.umsmaps.com to check it out.

And Insaniteus, you put any of those weird-*** DBZ transformations thingamabobbers in our campaign movies you're a dead man :gsmile: DBZ ain't everyone's style (nor mine.) Just a refresher.

Update: Working on the Shaman Skin. I personally think that the Shaman is one of the most badass models in War3, and I'm making him the leader of the Orcs in RoN. since he's gonna be so important, I'm working very hard on making this guy look like a fitting warchief. I've also been Skinning for other projects as well (like Draco's DBZ). The sad part is that I'm moving VERY slowly on RoN. Oh well, I'll get back to working on it once I'm done with UMS.

From now on Insaniteus you should probably jsut e-mail those files to me or Scio. We can put them up on our FTPs for you so you don't have to stick them over here for all these nasty little grubbers to steal:mtk:

If we aren't letting our own community listen to the voice actor's clips then we're not letting you either :bgrun:

Don't feel bad, it's nothing personal. Just some required secrecy.
