\nBecause Machinima technic involves a game engine, every thing happens in real time – no rendering!. Since you are using the games assets – characters, props and sets – no modelling and texturing!. The characters for the animation can be customised in the Avatar creators of the game.\u00c2\u00a0Animation gets done in an instant and at very very low cost.<\/p>\n
Machinima before it became what it is now, started off as gamers recording their victories in a game to show their friends. It then evolved to making short creative, funny animated sequences with voice and music. Some gaming companies encouraged machinima of their games by contests and showcasing them on their website.
