[QUOTE=Damoman;47594098]Ahh, the classic sfm/gameplay commentary bait and switch.[/QUOTE]
It can work well when it's properly made. If it's clear it's a poster and the title isn't worded so vaguely you aren't sure, posters make great thumbnails.
The issue is most of these people don't really understand that concept, and opt for high fov posters and vague names which are easily confused with someone an sfm would look like.
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;47595513]He means having sfm posters in the thumbnail, with no actual sfm in the video .[/QUOTE]
is there something wrong with having a picture made in sfm be a thumbnail that represents in a way what is going on in the video
I mean, it's a 16 minute video and I don't remember MrPaladin being good at SFM, all he does is commentaries
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;47595513]He means having sfm posters in the thumbnail, with no actual sfm in the video .[/QUOTE]
You could say the same for about... 75% of content on YouTube? Since the ability to use custom thumbnails was extended to everyone, of course people are going to have something special instead of a still from the video.

Sigafoo save* also called wrangle/ranger save.
idk we got rocketjumping, trickstabbing, crouchjumping...

Rocketjumping is literally jumping with rockets. Crouchjumping is literally jumping and crouching. Trickstabbing is stupid and so are all the other names (matador stab, stairstab, etc).
What "Sigafoo save" should be called is "Using weapons right".
Yeah that's so much more streamlined and descriptive for such an important technique.
Usingweapongsright, why did we not think of that.

Missing my obvious sarcasm aside, why do you even need to give it a nickname? It's not a universally useful manipulation of physics like bunnyhopping or crouchjumping, it's literally "use one weapon, then use the other", any non-braindead Engineer would one day figure out that, woah, you can repair your sentry while the wrangler's shield is still up.
It's like on r/smashbros where people love to call combos "techs" even though that's not what they are: techs are given names because they're universal manipulation of some part of the game to give more options or to make play more enjoyable/competitive (wavedashing and l-cancelling in Smash, rocketjumping in TF2), hence the grouping "tech" which is short for technique, what they're doing (and what sigafoo did) is just a combo in the most literal sense. It's not some amazing new discovery, it's just using lemons to make lemonade.
Bunnyhopping isn't manipulation of physics, it's a technique that requires precise timing of keystrokes to execute, just like sigafoo save. You absolutely can't screw up to pull it off.
So I just got back into Gmod screenshotting.

Any Criticisms about it? I feel the posing for the engie is kinda off, maybe on the sniper too.
Also it's based on my Soldier set in TF2, minus the grey paint on hat and coat.

Manipulation of momentum and jump physics by pressing keys at the right time to consistently gain momentum.

It's okay, but I'd recommend experimenting with SFM if you don't use it already.
I have a toaster, SFM's FPS drops so I can't animate. I could pose, but FPS makes it kinda hard, and in the end I prefer Gmod posing for the moment.
At least until I upgrade eventually.

Lol you got jabbed in da butt.
It's late, but Gmod forgot to download medigun pose beams so I here's a WIP of another thing based on an item set for my classes.

Once again, criticism would be nice, I think the posing of the cape is kinda wonky.

A Medic and a Mini-sentry seem to be a strange pair.
How about giving him a patient or switching the Medigun to Syringe Gun?

It's WIP you dinguses :v:
He'll be healing off screen, the mini sentry is firing in the general direction of the enemy.
Or it will when I find someone to edit it for me since I suck at editing.

You just need the right addons, an idea of how the body should at least look when it's posed, and lots of patience.

Try turning his shoulder inward to lessen the tension on his arm and make his wrist look less like it's been snapped. Also, perhaps the cape would look more dynamic if the end flipped upward?

I tried with the shoulder but the posting of the medicgun is pretty whack, I think it would look kinda lame if I put the medigun up more to compensate the shoulder.

Do you disable ambient occlusion and progressive refinement in the render settings? Disabling those works wonders for FPS.

Right click on the viewport and then select render settings.
