Need to add a few sound effects in there, the silence is driving me nuts.
I made a reenactment of the album cover for "Abbey Road" by the Beatles. It's a very early WIP; between "Half-Life 2 in 2002" and "Left 4 Dead 2 in 2009" levels of WIP. The most complete aspect is probably the band members' poses, which are very close to what I copied them from. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613898718355045092/8327213467994FF2FFB242A0ECC4F77B3AA86A3F/[/t] As you can see, it's very empty and dull compared to the actual album cover: [t]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c1hA-1HsKW0/UWRWJSmJaGI/AAAAAAAAcgY/BdQyiWXpgQc/s1600/Abbey+Road+Cover.jpeg[/t] Working on more will be a stretch, because I don't have most of the resources to finish it. Firstly, I don't have most of the cars that are on the road; only the wrecked Half-Life 2 cars. Secondly, the Beatles had a lot of extra facial hair and TF2 models won't look good on HL2 characters. Thirdly, I don't have a wide enough variety of clothing. The suit pack I'm using has only two groups, whereas the Garry's Mod pack has, like, seven. I would've posed this in Garry's Mod, which would've been far easier, but a bug causes dynamic lighting to crash the game, so I can't really use it. Let me know what you think, and if I should continue working on this.

[QUOTE=BART!;41641256] -older wip video- Well, work in progress still :v: Any feedback is cool![/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPArZdFzFns[/media] New stuff, added some sound effects, music, also tweaked some things. If you ask, DoF is 256 Samples, Motion Blur 8 Samples and AO of course, render time 4 hours.
[QUOTE=BART!;41651363] If you ask, DoF is 256 Samples, Motion Blur 8 Samples and AO of course, render time 4 hours.[/QUOTE] Why is your DoF so high and your Motion Blur so low?
[QUOTE=T3X Comet;41653260]Why is your DoF so high and your Motion Blur so low?[/QUOTE] There's not enough high speed motion. I mean, there isn't too much action going on, and I really like the way 256 samples look :v:

I like the lighting too, you get a nice feedback from the created shadows.

SNEAK PEEK OF STUFF TO COME [video=youtube;d_69GrSJhDA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_69GrSJhDA&feature=youtu.be[/video]
I've created a new website using Weebly, where I have collected info about my SFM creations (especially about Black Rose): [URL="http://petripu.weebly.com/"]http://petripu.weebly.com/[/URL] (I've also created two new soundtracks and a comic for BR.) I'm a little worried about the font I have used, which is quite cartoony and I'm not sure if it's "reader-friendly".
How do you guys feel about this? [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULib0X_sNdg[/MEDIA]
[QUOTE='[yournamehere];41715962']How do you guys feel about this? [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULib0X_sNdg[/MEDIA][/QUOTE] I like what i see.
i decided it's time for a small visual reference for those of you who have difficulties getting the outcome you want. first off, we have this basic scene here with rough ao bake and loose dof [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2i5k3z5.jpg[/IMG] now all you really need to do for a picture is make sure it: ♣fits the rule of thirds* *divide each horizon into 3 parts-- the floor, midsection, and sky ♣bring in depth of field a bit* *just enough so it doesn't get that wonky rounded effect on the scene ♣add the "finishing touches" to your frame* *make the beer mug lean realistically as if it were full, pose fingers, volumetric skylight, etc [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tck5HSe.jpg[/IMG] ...and voila! you have an instant better-looking version of your once-bland frame! good luck buddies
[IMG]http://puu.sh/3Ut8F.jpg[/IMG] I have no idea what just happened here!
working on this, I even built a sheet in photoshop where I draw every shot before animating, it's the first time I animate in sfm, how does it look?. [video=youtube;LIAJfsSfBd0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIAJfsSfBd0[/video]
I'd advise lowering the field of view. Dunno if I'm right, but try mat_specular 0 in the console to get rid of the weird flashy lights that you've probably seen around the map.
Tried my hand at some (premade) lighting, minor editing of (premade) animations, (using a guide) SSAO, and muzzle flashes (not SFM at all). [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBPA9YvjvPU[/media] This is for a project I am planning. In the actual thing, I WILL do my own animation, the premade was just so I could make something for the main characters (that hasn't been finished either).
I need some help on my little idea I have in my head. [url]http://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Zg7cZKNOOB8DWFw_l-keqyiH_5IY8WMKa5GN07-3ZKg/viewform[/url] I know kind of what I want to do with this but not who is in the video, hahaha! :zoid:
I'm going to make a SFM short based upon this song :D [video=youtube;L4Gx5ieI1mU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4Gx5ieI1mU[/video] I already have a basic layout in SFM.
If you take the 's' out of https, tags will work.
