I get people asking me how to make a Cinematic Final Smash since I usually decline their request... So what I decided to do is to make a Tutorial Thread on how to make one... Though this won't be much of a tutorial about how to make a Cinematic Final Smash, rather, call it tips on how to make a Cinematic Final Smash. You'll need BrawlBox, and PSA to make these...
Events Used
Event ArrangementYou'll most likely be using the events multiple times, in fact it may get to the point where you don't even know which goes where... to use as an example, here's Gunslinger Samus' New Final Smash.
As you can see, I've placed a Normal Camera Event right before a
new Camera Closeup Event. There's a good reason why you need to do that. Let's say for example you used 5 different Camera Closeup Events, and never placed any Normal Camera Events before them. When it reaches the Normal Camera event at the end of the Final Smash, the camera won't go back to normal, and it would just stay in that position. Peach's Normal Final Smash uses 2 Camera Closeup Events, and it used a Normal Camera Event right before the 2nd one. So I would do the same. Though there are some cases where the camera goes back to normal right after an animation ends.
Camera TargetYou may encounter some things when making your Cinematic Final Smash, and one of those things is where the camera is aimed at. The camera will be aimed at the Characters Pivot Point (Where the RotX Bone would be). But I found that the camera is attached to the TransN Bone. So Camera Closeups that get really close can get rather... uncomfortable... But that aside, you can get around it in 2 ways.
1). Scale the TransN Bone so that your target view is where the RotX Bone would be. (Marth's Cinematic Final Smash uses this example)
2). Translate the RotY Bone to do the same thing as the 1st one. (Gunslinger Samus' old Final Smash uses this example)
By doing this, you can get the view you want! Just make sure that when you animate, it doesn't
look like you scaled/translated select bones. Zoom Times with the value of 0 can help make that transition.
Left and RightWhen making your Cinematic Final Smash, you may notice that it looks good facing one direction, but very weird in the other. To fix this problem, you need to have something like this set up...
Basically, copy what you have in one direction, and paste into the other direction.
The only difference from the 2 sides is the Y Rotation Parameter of each Camera Closeup Event. If it was a positive number before, make it a negative number. And Vice Versa. However, there are some cases where what you animated looks better on one side. You can make the Camera Closeup Events totally different if you want. It's up to you.
If there are more concerns, I'll add on to this...
