A TF2 horror project
#1
So I recently had an idea for a TF2 zombie film and I'm going to start making it on GMOD on monday. (It's the only thing I can make since the update fucked everything up.)

Anywho I started practicing with source film maker (a new movie making tool on steam in which you can make almost anything as sexy as what valve makes. The perfect tool for fake trailers that lead to Rick Rolls... actually that gives me an idea.)

Anywho I (with little help from tutorials which were over an hour long) made the poster for the film on SFM just to try it out.

anywho here is the end result

The program isn't easy to pick up, but once you do pick it up it's fun and simple to use. I'd say it's much easier to pose, spawn and animate things than in Garry's mod. Though can it beat Garry's mod?

For filming yes... yes I believe this can, only because this is something that is expanding and Gmod no longer has the advantage of having a massive library of mods and addons which can have a massive cast of characters and worlds available at your finger tips.

However, don't forget that Gmod is also a game and will always be used as a game. The fact that people still play Gmod 9 shows that it's fun in some shape or form and therefore it's community will most likely live on. Even if the game isn't used for film making anymore.

Well its a pretty good picture but it seems a little too dark. Its not even dark in an atmospheric way just dark. Maybe add some lighting behind or under the team I dont know...
Also the clipping on the heavy is there but not too annoying.
One of the spies eyes is looking at his nose and looks kinda weird.

Apart from that its good. (Screw you i felt like criticizing things)

Its sad that Gmod is more of a sandbox game than a sandbox tool now. I miss my 2gb folder of addons and all the little settings I had.
Oh well I always have gayday

The map is very dark, it's one of it's main criticisms as it's the night time version of 2fort. Yeah though it could do with more lighting.

The heavy was the first one I posed, and I didn't noticed the clipping thing until after it rendered. It was annoying though to see it when I could no longer do much about it.

Yeah I hadn't gotten round to face posing yet... that will be my next thing. I'm just lucky that most of them look like they are about to be attacked by wombles.

I didn't think I'd get away with the pyro...

Well here's the update, christ this thing is easy as shit to update... I mean really easy! Everything loads exactly where I left it and it took less than 3 minutes to fix and re-render everything.

I had a problem where everything went green, for anyone brave enough to try SFM you can fix this by... "mat_specular 0 and thene use the buildcubemaps command" I would like to thank http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/sh...?t=2821989 for that piece of golden advice!

So anywho time for a fun bit the "behind the scenes" thing.

1. The spy's arm is actually a separate model holding his cigarette case it is also animated.
2. The arms aren't actually from zombies, they are the .mdl files of dismembered tf2 characters.
3. A few update weapons features (no extra ones though since I don't really care about them.)
4. Erm... it takes up 400,000 CPU to look at this picture for 12 seconds.

Yo hangy link fail!

Though it's in the gallery, I looked and it's improved for the most part, except for the spy's eye.

This looks interesting I'll keep up to date with it.

*edit* no failure was made, my pc just didn't load the image for some reason. Serves me right for using cheap interwebznetmachines.

HA! That's what you get for trying to be smart Tongue

Ok I'll work on faceposing and perfecting fingers later. Also I didn't just mean the Pyro's fingers, his facial expression is a little messed up. I mean look at his nose!

Well the engie still has two small problems.
First being his fingers on the button thing are bent.
Second is that it looks like his dick is holding its own weapon

Yeah his fingers on the pistol look a little weird too.
