MovieCube Preview Version:
Create your own Machinima movies in Sandbox thanks to the hardwork of Offtools! MovieCube is a very powerful tool that lets you create scripts for models to follow. Check out this video by a GoBologna, a High School student who is demonstrating scripted waypoint paths he created with only a few minutes of tinkering.
