Matinee: Creating Cinematics Intro to Matinee: Not much is being done in this part it just talks about some basics in Matinee and where its located. (Video) Shows a complete Cinematic before I start. The Matinee UI: This part is shows more in depth of the Matinee User Interface.

I added these (Picture) to make it move and there is also a video. ( There will be 2 Videos but on the first one it just shows me using the material editor as I said in the summary) Then in the other part of the video I am doing the same thing like I did with the grass except I will be adding it to the tree. It was the same process just like the grass. Creating Ambient Particles: Fog: For this part of the tutorial I am learning how to add Fog Ambient Particles for the scene i'm working on. (Pict...
