We were basically working on a cinematics environment for Max (and later on possibly, Maya) that allowed you to do ALL of your cinematics (one or more cutscenes) for a level in Max, then you would export the cinematics scene to a text file which a tool I'm working on would then parse and perform operations to fix your scenario tag with needed data (ie, object placements, camera points, etc) also autogenerate the entire script for all of your cinematic scene and a few other nitty gritty details needed, but the idea is that it's ALL streamlined.
We had tons of things planned for allowing you to define what events took place during one cutscene (besides moving the camera). Things like, starting a sound, changing the position of a device, perform many operations on objects (ie, damanging, killing, etc), the list goes on and on.
The best part of it? Everything was done in one environment: Max. No going back and forth in max and sapien. Not only that, but it would have worked for Halo 2 (xbox\vista) and Stubbs the zombie too (and Halo 3 later on down the road).
But like say, the person who was helping me on the Max end went AWOL and I'm loosing hope in seeing this project accomplished anytime soon since I don't know maxscript and only have Maya :/. When I had this idea way back when, I tried getting TheGhost to halp but hes too busy doing...things >_>.
