# UMS

## Unreal Movie Studio

Created by [UnFramed Productions]

Coding by Stephen 'Nemesis' Deaver, Yoda and Hugh

### About UMS

Unreal Movie Studio is a tool for Unreal Tournament which allows you to make powerful cutscenes, and movies. It has a simple script system, which allows people to manipulate cameras, and characters, and tell a story your way.

Some features of UMS include:

1. Easy to use Director system - all the commands are laid out in front of you
2. Full control over cameras
3. Full control over pawns (actors) including rate of animations, and the ability to choose the animation
4. Full skin lip-sync (with UT's ability to have multiple skins, UMS is able to animate one of the skins for, say, mouth movement on the head)
5. Control over any triggerable event, including movers, explosions, breaking glass, and any other effect already part of UT, plus many other possible codable effects
6. The ability to easily load up another map (scene).
7. Animateable heads seperate from body, for model lip-synching
8. Full fade control
9. Easy to use credits
10. Full modularity, allowing for user-created modules to be added on

### Download UMS

You can download UMS from the [UMS downloads page]

Tarquin: would you like me to remove the non-subpage versions of the UM tutorials?

Hugh: That would be wonderful - I'd just e-mailed Mychaeel asking him how I could do it, but if you could, that would be great. Thanks

Tarquin: done.

NoFear MSL: Great work with the Tutorials!! I Like the Interpolations Tutorial!
by the way, Your linkt to the UMS homepage is Dead. Or the site has been moved!? Either wayt it doesn't work any more

Wormbo: It's also your link. Please change it if you can find a working link.

Ars-Magna: I found the new location of Unframed Productions. Seems someone stole their domain name.

Daid: MMMM... oops? We named our Paintball mod, Ultimate Survival, but we sorten it to UMS when we talk about it...[Ultimate Survival Site] Are there any plans for UnrealMovieStudio2003?

EntropicLqd: Uh - Isn't that called Matinee?

Daid: well, can't you do more with UnrealMovieStudio then with Matinee? I wouldn't know never looked into one of them.

Foxpaw: You can do "more" with UMS than with Matinee, however I don't know if that "more" is necessarily "more useful" or just plain "more." I think this was written for UT though, which didn't have Matinee. As a side-note, the Unreal Engine claims to have support for lip-sync stuff natively, but I don't think any of it has been defined in UnrealScript for UT2003.
