I love how gmod handles physics and I love goofing off! And in a game made for goofing off I spend most of my time testing how exactly the physics work. Mostly just by screwing around and doing something, then seeing what happens.
Messing around with simple elastics is one of my favorite things to do! I have made some videos on what kind of patterns elastics can make. Complete with a simple tutorial.
Be sure to watch in full HD for best quality!

It's not your normal "contraption" but us contraption people see gmod in a completely different way than say gamemode or machinima and other people see it. We see it as a way to mess around like a child playing with marbles.
Also on a request I made a Gmod animated background of the videos. It doesn't use any extra resources loading because it's just a .vtf file.

wow that blew my mind .
no trolling intended .
i havent seen the tutorial yet, so whatever you used as like ropes or w/e you should change the width to 0 .
Very well done, I like.
that's pretty awesome
wow this is so much cooler than the normal stuff we have on here. this isn't a contraption: this is art
Oh wow, I was tripping out watching those
Wicked amazing. I don't think I can comprehend what you'll find next.
This is simplicity at its finest. Forget Wiremod, this is amazing.
who the hell is going around the forums rating every post dumb
This should be in the videos section, this is art! Wonderful choice of music as well.

I would really like a dupe, but first going to do it myself (Well, Maybe I fail)
Thats fucking epic.
Amazing, the most original thing I've seen in here in a while.

After watch the tut, it looks like what I made with adball and ropes xC
It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in Gmod.
whoa it could be like a distraction mechanism for getaways =O I'm sorry I can't stop staring

Stole my comment >:C
Epic.
Best contraption I have ever seen for garrys mod!
I
Love
YOU
fuck
I tried this and works exactly in the video, but I made each one weigh 1,000 and elastic 15000. It always makes a ring or a sphere though, even when I stringed 6 of those 14 cube sets together, it made a giant white sphere after like 30 minutes =O
oh by the way I didn't watch the tut yet I guess that would have helped a teeny bit
This was rather awesome.
Trying this now :p
Need to get a dark map though, flatgrass wont be nearly as impressive
Update:
My trails dont seem to work properly, its as though the trail is a rope between invisible points and the can. rather than leaving a trail, it just follows it as though youd used a rop with that texture :(
use gm_buttes night
The colors really makes me think about Daft Punk. And if something makes me think about Daft Punk then it's awesome.
Agree me.
k
Trails aere working fine online. and i came buckets when i managed to get one that seemed to mimic electron orbit
Holy shit! It's like an acid trip! Without the acid!
Fuck yes!
Holy Shit.
This is awesome.
