Source® Choreography & In-Game Cinematics, part of the Noesis Interactive™ MOD Your World™ training series, allows you to Command Your World by adding emotion filled dialog and elaborate gameplay experiences to the worlds you build.

Explore Valves® dynamic FacePoser™ toolset to develop choreographed NPC sequences, including custom dialog, facial animation and blended gestures - each containing multiple actors, conditionals, and events. Various sequences are then connected and additional interactivity can be integrated via the powerful input/output response system in Hammer™ for endless possibilities. You can even harness the in-game camera to dictate how players can or should experience the action as it unfolds.

This guide is essential for anyone looking to create a single player campaign or add a cinematic experience to their mod. It also builds on techniques explored in other Noesis level design modules using practical examples typical in award-winning games such as Half-Life®2 and Portal®.
