[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ffv7W4zFB38[/media] Seeing as SFM is my first real entry into animation, I would like to think that I did a fairly good job on this video, considering I'm not really experienced in the slightest. Some things I'm curious about is what people think about the lighting. Because I used no lights in this video. It seems like the only benefit I would get from them would be casting shadows, however I did not want to take the time to implement this and try to make it work with the color correction I had already put in place. Also the rain got pretty odd when adding DoF and motion blur, add grain on top of that and its almost not even noticeable... Also a word of warning to those looking to use grain in their videos...use with caution. The file size is around ten times larger when grain is added in my experience(using an x264 encoder)
How did you get 1080p? I assume you just rendered at 720p and upscaled in an external program.
[QUOTE=Smashman;36824963]How did you get 1080p? I assume you just rendered at 720p and upscaled in an external program.[/QUOTE] If you launch with " -sfm_resolution 1080 -w 1920 -h 1080 " then you can render with 1080p. Nice video OP, the atmosphere fits the song very well.
How did you do the rain effect? Good vid.
[QUOTE=ExtraPickles;36832198]How did you do the rain effect? Good vid.[/QUOTE] Search for a SourceMod called "Themes" inside of it is a particle effect that contains weather effects. Just put that in the particles folder in usermod and you're good to go.
Got it, thanks.
