• [Idea/suggestion] Blood pools, spatter in SFM
    4 replies, posted
Hey guys! I heard that there's no easy way to add blood pools or spatter to your movies so I had an idea, and I'd be very greatful if somebody does it. Since there's no way to add blood decals like in Garry's mod, I got an idea to create a few 2-D .mdl transparent panels, with a blood texture on it. Like this we can add them to our movies like a normal animation set for a model, without having to mess around in hammer editor with map. I'd be very greatful if somebody did that! I'm sorry if this thread was already created, the search is disabled for me for some reason. :( Thanks!
The problem I see with this method, is you wont be able to have the actual blood animated like you can with a particles or decals. You can move the whole model around, but you can't for instance make the pool of blood slowly ooze out of a dead body. Unless you take the time to animate the model itself before compilation using some sort of liquid physics, but this is a lengthy and painful process. However, this does sound like a temporary fix to the problem mentioned above. In my opinion it would be worth creating the models until some better way comes along. EDIT: Search is unavailable for me as well, although I'm not sure why.

Besides animating spatter wouldn't be so important since it happens almost instantaneously, but with pools - yeah that would be the problem.
