A special device was created that captured video of the actors' faces while they spoke their lines, as Cyan did not want to lose the warmth and feeling provided by using a live actor.
The models for End of Ages 's characters were instead computer-generated. Myst V: End of Ages was developed so that players could freely navigate Ages rendered in real time, which meant that the digital insertion of characters into the settings was not feasible. For the next game, Myst IV: Revelation, Ubisoft allowed players to move the game camera and interact with the video while it was playing through the use of the ALIVE game engine. Myst III: Exile 's developers filmed all the scenes using standard definition cameras, which producer Dan Irish looked back on as a mistake by not using high definition video cameras, the video did not look crisp at high resolutions. Later Myst titles improved on the integration of live action sequences in the prerendered environments of the games. Rand Miller reprised the role of Atrus due to fan expectation, even though he hated acting.
For the first time, Cyan directed the live action actors for Riven 's scenes the designers, including Richard Vander Wende, were apprehensive about how the characters would fit in the finished product. Villagers scurry away as the player approaches, and major characters such as Gehn and a rebel band known as the Moiety address the player and give or take items away from him or her. As a result, Cyan added more characters to the sequel, Riven. The Ages of Myst were occasionally seen as lonely by players and reviewers. Due to a limited amount of time and money, Myst 's creators, Rand and Robyn Miller, took on roles in the game themselves. The actors were filmed on a bluescreen, then added to the pre-rendered backgrounds via chroma key. When the first game in the franchise, Myst, was created, all the characters were created from footage of live actors. Dissenting reviewers considered Myst 's acting melodramatic and overwrought. Reviewers found that the live action characters increased immersion, while the digital body language and spoken conviction in End of Ages endeared the characters to the player. The characters of Myst have been generally praised in each installment. For Myst V: End of Ages, a different approach was taken: a special camera recorded actors' faces and mapped the video onto digital models. The first Myst titles used pre-rendered graphics, and digitally inserted footage of live actors into the backgrounds.
MYST EXCILE SERIES
Other characters introduced in the series include Gehn, Atrus' power-hungry father Saavedro, a traumatized victim of Atrus' sons and Esher, a member of an old civilization whose motives for helping the player are ambiguous. The inhabitants of Myst include the explorer Atrus, a writer of many linking books, and his wife Catherine and their children. While the player, referred to as a Stranger, remains faceless and unnamed, Myst and its sequels introduce a variety of non-player characters. Myst was a commercial and critical success upon release and spawned four sequels- Riven, Exile, Revelation and End of Ages- as well as several spinoffs and adaptations. The player is transported to Myst Island and must unravel the world's puzzles in order to return home. The book is no ordinary volume it is a linking book, which serves as a portal to the world it describes. The Myst series of adventure computer games deals with the events following the player's discovery of a mysterious book describing an island known as Myst. Live action footage of actors (top) was combined with prerendered backgrounds to create a finished composite (bottom) in Myst III: Exile.
