Back then, cinematic-quality rendering required computer farms to slowly bake every frame. Back then, cinematic-quality rendering required computer farms to slowly bake every frame overnight—a painstaking process. Six years ago, real-time ray tracing was seen as a pipe dream. Check them out below: Video.

In those applications, animation is edited as Bezier curves and many times happens naturally as a result of modifiers such as IK (Inverse Kinematics). This means that animation data can take a large amount of memory and disk, specially animation that comes from mocap or animation used for cinematics.

We must understand (and preferably help create and document) the game as a whole: from core mechanics to level design to cinematics, and everything in between. Brainstorming, writing, editing, and workshopping text! We need to understand, at least at a high level, all of its features. This is a clip of the Heider-Simmel animation.

This can be ideal for cinematics who have been looking for a way to fully automate in game camera systems. As of yet, there is no distributed baking. This basically means you can only bake lightmaps using a single machine. You can even change the edit and color grading.

Unsupported features will not be visible when editing materials. Unsupported features will not be visible when editing environments. Use baked lightmaps instead. Key editing in inspector. New track type: Animation (play animations of sub-animation player, allowing complex cinematics). GIProbes of course don't work.
