Cambot
The Cambot tool was a project for Georgia Tech faculty member Mark Riedl. It was also our senior design project. The original Cambot system was a tool designed to use artificial intelligence to automatically generate machinima films. Machinima – a term combining "machine" and "cinema" – is the technique of using video games or other off-the-shelf computer graphics packages to create movies. Technology has advanced to the point where artificially intelligent systems that can automatically render a movie script in a 3D environment from a given script. As said before, the program was already a prototype AI system for automated avatar and camera control in a 3D environment. The issue was that this system required both programming knowledge as well as cinemagraphic knowledge in order for it to be useful.
