Then actually program all that into the game. That precess takes more then 2 mnths tyvm.

Sounds about right for a full length movie or even an old-school PS1 cutscene. Except those techniques have been improved with modern graphics hardware. Game cutscenes are made with in-house engine tools that manipulate pre-made animations. These animations are used along with the storyboard to create a real-time cutscene. There is no need to pre-render unless the cutscene is spectacularly over the system requirements.

Don't waste your time trying to talk sense to that brain-dead moron, she has absolutely no clue about how anything works outside of posting in this forum and acting like she knows stuff about a game she has never played.
