Think this is worth looking into?

I've always wanted to make my own cinematic. I've learned how to add and animate a cinematic camera using scripts, but do you think it would be worth trying to figure out how to do it completely custom and not just use the game's prebuilt camera animations.

just curious if it would be worth it to anyone or is it something that no one really cares about.

To make animated camera you can use jmad, but we need a jmad injector 0_0

Camera with jmad makes things much more easyer anyway, so i'd wait for the jmad injector, let's hope it come out one day, tssss

i think i phrased the question wrong. I know how to add the camera and make it work. I have done it on coagulation. I was wondering if it would be worth trying to modify the jmad like in the tut that turk wrote.

Its not worth it, wait for the jmad injector u'll save some time and be more accurate with the camera, since u'll import sbsp mesh on 3DS and objects then you just animation the camera and it injects all the stuff you don't even need to understand it it works...

If you do jmad raw editing by hex it will be a pain, i guess it works with coords, time from coord to coord or vectors so it's just a waste of time to research that when you know a jmad injector, is, SUPPOSED, to come out, yeah i don't know, it'd be good to have some news about that jmad injector too.
