In discussion with Joanne and Michael I captured, compressed and sent a total of six separate clips to be included in the final presentation videos.
To capture the videos I used the following settings in Sandbox
Con_Restricted 0
r_displayinfo 0
r_nodrawnear 1
cl_hud 0
fixed_time_step 0.033333
capture_frames 1 (to start)
capture_frames 0 (to finish)
Whilst a deceptively simple task, it became very laborious with some clips having a turnaround from capture to upload of around 90 minutes. This was due mainly to the size of the environment and it's increasing use of system resources over time which led to many crashes and constant restarts. Misbehaving AI was another major problem with constant flowgraphing issues leading to many AI standing still or not behaving as desired during capture.
In the end I was able to send the completed environment back to my team who were able to assist in additional video and image capture as time constraints closed in.
All clips can be found in my MediaFire folder for this course.
Enjoy!
