I use the Ring to make movies, like a self contained movie set. It's PERFECT for that. And yes, I agree, there are some things that we cannot do yet that need to be implemented, but there is still alot you can do.
Here is my original post with the movie links:
I have been working on a lil movie using only the Ryzom Ring for a week or so, off and on.
It came out pretty good, minus all the editing and camera errors. Oh well, they'll get better, if I make more.
The Ring is awesome for movies. If you had a few players to act as actors, you could do almost anything.
