UDK Camera Tutorial

RogelioD · May 2012

Hello everyone! Wasn't sure where exactly to throw this but I figured this would be as good a place as any. I made this for one of the professors at Full Sail University who teaches the Portfolio Assembly class and knows very little about UDK. Until there is a further update, they will be using this tutorial to teach their students the basics on how to render out a video using the latest versions of UDK. I thought I'd post it here as well just in case anyone needs the help. Enjoy!

It's pretty well written the only thing that is missing is that you did not tell the reader that they should change the camera's movement from Relative to Initial Frame to World Frame. This way the end user can select the first key frame and move the camera any where they want to without having to have to make a new key frame each time that want to move the start position of the camera.

Good tip! I'll try to work that in there as an update. Much appreciated.

Hello,

I've been reading your tutorial. (thanks)
I got a camera sequence setup in matinee which works when I play it.
But when I use the record button to capture to avi or bmp its gets
stuck on the first frame. It won't render the whole sequence. Would you
herhaps know what the solution could be?

You, sir, win 1000000 internets for making a written tutorial instead of a video one. Much easier to follow and browse different parts of it quickly

Just wanted to bump this one as I was able to get a fixed camera up and running within minutes compared to the many poor YouTube tutorials that gloss over unnecessary set up of trigger boxes or PlayerStart positions, not to mention some code too! O_o

Xendance: Thats what I was going for- most of the times a well written tut can peat the pants off a bad video tut! Appreciate the feedback!

Grimmstrom: Thank you! Love to help!

whw: Thank you for the feedback, REALLY glad I could help!!!
