Thanks for all the feedback everyone, its been lovely to read and watch!
An updated Freeplay was indeed used for this video - both it and the video were developed side-by-side throughout. Either one would've been completed faster without me doing the other, but neither would be as good without the other. I had hoped to have the new Freeplay ready-to-go in time with the video's release, but I have been making some last minute changes to try and smooth off some of the rough edges (as any issues I found that didn't impact my progress with the video were often ignored) and finish converting my changelog into a decent bit of documentation on the changes (it will just be a plaintext file for now, as it would take much longer to properly incorporate everything into the html file I normally use). My aim now is to get it finalised and uploaded within the next few days.
Cheers!
Absolutely crazy. I've also been trying this kind of edit for a time now and adjusting the mouse is just pure pain. Good job.
You probably will document it with the release but, is 8:42 a feature or video crop animation? It was not possible to move cam while retaining the original vehicle speed as far as I know.
Also is it possible to add camera stop slowdown for smoothness? Every cam movement so far were too sharp. It would've been much cooler to have it. Even managing it with parameter input would be killer.
