[torpid dock]

fair enough I be doin the same shit

[cerulean umbra]

i was supposed to finish some animations last few weeks

havent opened their files in a long time

[dry hamlet]

Raze 2 was such a good game

[native kelp]

it is

i still play it

[trail estuary]

@chrome briar looks cool, the painting though

😳

[chrome briar]

🙃

[trail estuary]

i like it still

[chrome briar]

It’s amazing how on time, I will turn 18 on April 26 and a position that interests me has opened up.

[trail estuary]

good for you man

[sick plinth]

You got this

[humble bramble]

Best of luck!

[tribal kernel]

Eh?

[halcyon sparrow]

He’s back

[glossy acorn]

that was a quick september

[tribal kernel]

I'm yet not "back from September"

[halcyon sparrow]

Daylight savings can really mess up time perception

[serene dew]

Hi yet not "back from September "
I'm David

Hahhaaaa... I did de funi

[halcyon sparrow]

This should be an automatic temp ban

[opaque raft]

sorry i took it, jk i dont have enough experience for that 💀

im just waiting for a viewmodel animator position to open up, then it peaks my interest

[glossy acorn]

i wanna do full body animation stuff

aint 18 yet tho

[viscid rose]

@uncut path So good zo vucking zood 🔥

[uncut path]

zhank zou vro zt zeans a zlot 🔥 🔥 ❤️ ⁉️ r

[plucky hound]

Honestly, I'd love for you to be on the team, your shit is awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[chrome briar]

Terrified 😋. But I don't understand anything about animations. I tried to animate something, but I realized it's not my thing.

I still enjoy the process of crafting something complex out of a simple cube.

[opaque raft]

almost 18 so if they had a spot open maybe id take it

[dry hamlet]

Good enough? I dont think It need anything else

[torpid dock]

there is always more to do

[dry hamlet]

True that, i dont want to overcomplicate the design though

[plucky leaf]

I think if you're messing with the design, that's enough detail you'll need

Anything more and it might be cluttered or unmemorable

[midnight talon]

The hair is kinda off with the perspective

Might try fixing that and you're set

[dry hamlet]

yeah, maybe its slightly more to the right when it shouldn't right?

[midnight talon]

the 2nd attempt went really well!

[chrome briar]

want to know how I got rid of problems with shading after Boolean operations in blender without normals and fixed geometry?

[torpid dock]

how did you break task manager

[chrome briar]

Plasticity is now my new love

[gleaming nimbus]

@opaque raft where did you learn to animate (or are you self taught)

[halcyon sparrow]

He’s simply goated

[gleaming nimbus]

nah im being deadass I wonder how he got so good

[pine geode]

@azure valve holy shit 💀

good art but

[halcyon sparrow]

He needs his signature to go to his field trip 🥰

[gleaming nimbus]

awesome, still in the blocking phase I assume?

[bronze field]

I want to put this model in my portfolio but I figured that I should animate it to show off the rig, so It's probably going to be bare bones besides animation

[gleaming nimbus]

epicz

keep ME and ME ONLY updated

watch your fucking language child

nice about me

[bronze field]

I surely will make an update here in time

[gleaming nimbus]

shut the up fuck before I get madz 👿

stop talking fart smeller

[chrome marsh]

#art-showcase message LOL

hmmm

wonder what that sign means

[midnight talon]

Hello fellow art people's. I am at hospital

[torpid dock]

#art-showcase message

you should consider investing in a 3D printer, it produces solid parts with higher detail

[torpid dock]

hoptal why :(

[midnight talon]

Blood draw

Nose started bleeding out of nowhere

[torpid dock]

tuff hope u aight

[halcyon sparrow]

How will this affect Lebrons legacy

( I hope everything goes well)

(Pls be safe)

[midnight talon]

Thank you guys

[wanton pendant]

Huh, where my kerfus go

[covert wigeon]

i wanna port all the new models from lethal but idk how :(

[torpid dock]

you'll need an asset ripper for unity

[midnight talon]

my newer ones arent that bad if you consider the fact that this was my first attempt

[midnight talon]

the tests came clear

[opaque raft]

self taught and a load of practice, i've been doing it for probably 3 years now, and have learned that no one will be good at animating for their first time, it will take some time just practice with different assets, models & environments until something comes out well, if it doesn't come out well scrap it and move on to the next, workflow also plays a large part in it, blocking out and getting timings right is key to having a clean animation. I'm still practicing on the timing part.

the kimber 1911 I sent honestly isnt the best, too much shake and too much snappy movement it just doesnt feel natural

[covert wigeon]

yeahhh

[gleaming nimbus]

Very cool, super goated for being self taught

[opaque raft]

ty ty

[midnight talon]

@opaque raftany way i could improve this?

[opaque raft]

I don't see much wrong with it, add more to it then ask me, because right now it looks great

[dry hamlet]

Bang bang

[potent sorrel]

#art-showcase message @opaque raft shit looks way better than "Hunt down the -Freeman- Refund"

[opaque raft]

game was garbage idk how me with less experience then actual professionals could make something that looks visually better then they did

[potent sorrel]

Their animations were better than actual gameplay

They should have made movie instead of game

[opaque raft]

would've been 10x better

[potent sorrel]

No wonder ppl call it
"Hunt down the Refund"

Instead of Freeman

I mean story was kinda of good but the fucking gameplay, bugs and literally dead space and design

[opaque raft]

poor pyrocynical first time voice acting a game and was super excited for it then got the biggest let down ever lol

I assume they probably put more of the budget into the story then the gameplay, that or they couldn't find any decent developers to actually work on it within their budget

[potent sorrel]

I wonder how much Blue nemesis made with literally no money given into project

Only as for storage in pc

Cuz 1 fucking hour would take somewhere 10-50gb

[opaque raft]

What game size? If so they probably compressed the fuck out of the files, visually ruining it

developers should really look into unreal 5's nanite, that shits actually incredible

[trail estuary]

im been trying to learn lua, so far so good, it seems its all about changing properties

any advice?

[midnight talon]

use while wait() do

don't use while true do

[opaque raft]

while loops can be pretty imperformant, but if it's in a pretty small capacity it's fine, just remember to have a way to break off the loops, and never put a while loop in a function that repeats

[midnight talon]

while true do is for infinite loops as far as i remember

[potent sorrel]

It was more likely 1080 or 2k resolution, as sfm can only take 4k resolution

[opaque raft]

When doing that make sure to add a wait() or else it'll crash and or cause an exhaustion time

[midnight talon]

^^

[opaque raft]

Yeah industry standard for a lot of games of it's stature is 2k res for textures, sometimes 4k for things that will be up close to the camera

[opaque raft]

You can use loops in a repeating function, if you do something like this:

local num = 10
local task1
function loop()
while wait(1) do
num -= 1
end
end

-- Put this inside of the repeated function
if task1 then
task.cancel(task1)
end
task1 = task.spawn(loop)

[pseudo forum]

Yes plasticity is an amazing tool

[opaque raft]

yes, 1000x yes

[chrome briar]

I'll show you when I get home

[opaque raft]

kk

[oak copper]

Many Thompsons

[chrome briar]

it is plasticity as a CAD system program that is capable of creating perfect shading

Yes, it makes a bad topology, but it can still be used as a high poly

[opaque raft]

ah ok sweet

[chrome briar]

I simply transferred this weapon from plasticity to a blender without changing anything

)

[opaque raft]

you can also use mesh machine, it lets you do stuff like edge offset which destroys faces and edges around an edge to allow you to bevel without overlapping geometry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyFDWviE5fE&ab_channel=PonteRyuurui like this

[chrome briar]

ha ha, mesh machine, old pain, then it’s better to work under a subdivision or bake normals

or use plasticity and not suffer

[opaque raft]

Mesh machine is for hard surface not subdivision, it's way too overpriced though for what it does

[chrome briar]

I heard from one guy that he is developing a cad system in blender

[opaque raft]

it'd be great if blender would just have these kinds of tools built into the software

[chrome briar]

You won’t be able to use this addon everywhere; in some places there will still be crutches

[chrome briar]

I will do what is on this video in plasticity in 5 seconds

done

[gleaming nimbus]

topology isn't that bad, if anything it's quite nice

[opaque raft]

i mean it isnt that hard to do anyway, just that ease of access and not having to pull everything into another program then reimport it

[chrome briar]

well, definitely not for game development, just right for baking

[gleaming nimbus]

true

[chrome briar]

I use bridge addons in blender))

[gleaming nimbus]

bridge addons? weird I've never heard of that

you mean looptools?

[chrome briar]

there are three bridges with plasticity with zbrush and substance painter

oh, read about the GoB and GoZ importer

[gleaming nimbus]

ait sounds good

ty

[chrome briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqnwRtWfDyo

[plucky bronze]

just too high poly to use anywhere but basically renders

[opaque raft]

bake it down in marmoset or substance painter

[gleaming nimbus]

marmoset?

[chrome briar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSfoNy6bNdA even marmoset has it

[gleaming nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/blood-gif-20829713

I feel like I don't know anything anymore what is marmoset

[opaque raft]

software for texturing and baking normals

[chrome briar]

yes, bake the textures either in a Marmoset or in a substance painter, but you can also in a blender, but sadomasochists do this

[opaque raft]

blender bakes look like dog shit

[gleaming nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/gotg-what-chris-pratt-starlord-guardians-of-the-galaxy-gif-11287925

[opaque raft]

takes 10-15 minutes for one bake and even then it's choppy and mid

[plucky bronze]

cap

yo settings and uv maps are mid

[opaque raft]

My uvs and settings are fine, blender bake times and capabilities is whats mid

blender is everything but a texture baking software and it shows, bakes take forever to setup and take even longer to render, results end up coming out looking like poo

[gleaming nimbus]

guys stop fighting that's gay

oh im late nvm

[halcyon sparrow]

Honestly this is the only reason I considered buying mesh machine

Then I realized if I was only gonna use one feature

Probably not worth allat money

[opaque raft]

Same here

[halcyon sparrow]

@plucky leaf I think the barrel of the gun is missing

[plucky leaf]

It shouldn't be

I'll check later though

[halcyon sparrow]

He is trying his best to be intimidating tho

[plucky leaf]

What are you trying to say?

[halcyon sparrow]

That the barrel is missing

I’m jus playing around not trying to be mean

[plucky leaf]

I found the mistake

[halcyon sparrow]

Nice

[plucky leaf]

The barrel is there, it's that the gun is clipping into the NTF model

[halcyon sparrow]

Ah

I see

[halcyon sparrow]

I honestly thought the barrel cage just looked like that ngl I didn’t notice the clipping 😭

[plucky leaf]

I can fix it but I'm too lazy to, so I'd rather move on to more posters

That's impressive

[gleaming nimbus]

LMAO

[plucky leaf]

#art-showcase message
That's pretty good for first animation

[potent sorrel]

Thanks, i will try to make them more smoother

17 second animation took me like 2-3 hours

Making scene and such

[chrome marsh]

if you want to improve it you could use blender and watch som tuts

but sfm is a good way to go too

[merry dirge]

Yeah!!

Maining sfm will not be detrimental at all

[plucky leaf]

Most people in the SL animation community use blender

Most models from the game have been ported and rigged for blender

[drifting idol]

@potent sorrel Not bad

Impressive

[trail estuary]

i dont understand why most people avoid using blender

[humble bramble]

Do they?

I like blender

[plucky leaf]

It's a bit difficult to use at first

[halcyon sparrow]

Blender is scary

[plucky leaf]

I had no clue what I was doing when I first booted it up

[halcyon sparrow]

You fool. You utter buffoon. You've forgotten the differently-angled stock on the 1923 military model.

Unless that's a different model of thompson, in which case, nvm lmao

Shiet I see 3 volumetrics on the right, but on the left uh 7?

[potent sorrel]

65 in total

[formal bluff]

christ

Your sfm must be at 5 fps

if not lower

[potent sorrel]

nah it was fine cuz i runned it at 720p first

then when rendering at 2k

[formal bluff]

You fit 65 lights in that one scene?

[potent sorrel]

yes

just disabling shadows

where its not needed

[formal bluff]

I guess you increased the shadowed lights limit

[potent sorrel]

nah

just disabled them

[formal bluff]

Oh you can increase the limit if you want to

[potent sorrel]

i hate when it comes to lightning

[midnight talon]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kiss-extasyxx-extase-gif-14555706225786948613

What are you doing?

[chrome briar]

trying to make a sci fi robot

[midnight talon]

noice

i cant model well but im currently doing whatever this is

[tired sparrow]

Pretty hard thing to start to model

Especially due to the barrel

[chrome briar]

no, hard surface is not that complicated, you just need practice and knowledge of the tools

For example, I discovered the possibility of complex hard surface modeling, something a blender cannot do

if you have problems with polygonal modeling, you can also try plasticity, and then just do retopology if necessary

sounds like I'm advertising plasticity)

[midnight talon]

topology is better than boolean in every single way

but boolean is sometimes needed too

and i tihnk i need boolean right now

unfortunately i do not know boolean

[tired sparrow]

It’s pretty hard

[chrome briar]

Boolean operations only require care, since after them you need to clean the mesh from unnecessary points and get rid of problems with shading

fortunately plasticity is free from such problems, there are others)))

[tired sparrow]

Yeah but

Is plasticity free

[midnight talon]

i think the hardest part of this was fixing the mishap i did like 54 saves ago

i had to remove the entire barrel and replace it

and then fix its faces

but t'is fixed now

[tired sparrow]

The barrel is too square rn

The indents I mean

[midnight talon]

yea im aware

im gonna shape it when i finish it fully since

i tried doing it earlier and it was Hell

[chrome briar]

are you doing it as a subdiv?

[midnight talon]

subdiv? like, subdividing it and then shaping it that way?

[chrome briar]

The subdivision surface on the gun is like this

[midnight talon]

i mean kinda yeah

im using topology

i just removed that cylinder that i added temporarily

looks like this without the cylinder

[chrome briar]

can i see the grid?

[chrome briar]

I think with so many ribs on the cylinder it will be difficult to manipulate with a subdivision

[midnight talon]

i could get around that by doing the same thing i did on the cylinder i guess

[chrome briar]

the most difficult thing is how you will connect the barrel to the gun itself

[midnight talon]

any advices on how to do this?

[chrome briar]

remove the barrel and add a cylinder with a low number of ribs, there should be an even number of them

always use an even number of everything in a subdivision grid

otherwise it won’t be possible to combine correctly with good shading

[midnight talon]

slight problem

the barrel is connected to the rest of the gun

[chrome briar]

show how it is connected only to the mesh, on a solid

[midnight talon]

basically the cylinder structure is separate

but the barrel is connected to the rest of the gun

[chrome briar]

so your trunk is not connected to the main part, it does not have a connected topology, you can simply press L in edit mode while looking at the trunk and do ctrl+p to divide into two meshes, and then do whatever you want with the trunk, sorry if it’s not clear, I’m talking through Google translator

[midnight talon]

oh okay

[chrome briar]

don't ask why she has a heart in her stomach))

[humble bramble]

Looks cool, what more of a reason do you need?

[chrome briar]

anatomical accuracy, but this is already a mistake, then it’s still a robot, so it doesn’t matter where the motor is, even on legs

why is there a groin hole.

[chrome briar]

there's no hole there, it's just not painted

[plucky hound]

I mean, there's games like Back 4 Blood and Payday 3 that, as Mikel said a while back, tried to "Copy the snappiness and shakiness of MW 2019 without the understandings of weight and timing that made the MW 2019 animations so good."

[grave knoll]

It's true, I said that

[opaque raft]

PD3 was terrible for starbreeze's animation reputation, and B4B's was just horrible, game studios need to put more budget into animations since they're seen by the player for 90% of the game, and take up 30% of the screen

[potent sorrel]

PD3 failed horribly
200 players in last 20 min

[opaque raft]

i had a lot of hope for it on release, the closed beta was great but as soon as it released it went to shit

at this point they might as well just shut down the servers until they finish the game lmao

[potent sorrel]

Pd2 was more successful and fun

[gleaming nimbus]

I love animations

they should add those to video games that would be rad

[potent sorrel]

best feeling

[plucky hound]

IKR? It was fun at first but it gets tiring not even being able to move the camera because doing so would create a moving image

SFM isn't that different compared to blender

In terms of purpose

[potent sorrel]

I mean u get more quality pics in blender than in sfm

[plucky leaf]

I guess so

I believe SFM has less features than Blender, since SFM was made for making posters and movies (Source Filmmaker) and Blender is sort of "do whatever you want" program

[tired sparrow]

try blender friend

trust me

its worth it...

[plucky leaf]

Why does my poster look so flat?

[plucky leaf]

It looks sorta better but it's still flat, anyone got any feedback about the lighting?

[grave knoll]

It doesn't seem like anyone is casting shadows?

[tired sparrow]

huh

yeah

where are the shadows

[plucky leaf]

That's something I found when messing around with the lights

Honestly, I don't know

The shadows should be there, and there's no setting I know of that I've turned off.

I thought it might've been the way I placed the lights but I don't know

I can't seem to get there to be shadowns

Alright, I've tried editing the shadow settings in the render settings menu but nothing seems to be working

Maybe it's just Eevee, idk.

[grave knoll]

Do you have "cast shadows" checked on the lights?

[plucky leaf]

Let me check

Yep, it's checked

[grave knoll]

odd

[plucky leaf]

In the lighting settings you mean?

[green ferry]

what kind person of me?

[grave knoll]

No, on the light object itself

[opaque raft]

When it first came out it was pretty lack luster tbh, about the same as pd3 was, but times have changed and people wanted a complete copy paste of pd2 with unreal engine and some new heists

[plucky leaf]

Yeah, shadows are on

[grave knoll]

odd

[plucky leaf]

I think it may just be eevee glitching out or something

[green ferry]

okay

[chrome briar]

look at the radius of the light sources, if it is too large, the shadows will be blurred or there will be none at all

and use cycles for rendering, it will improve the lighting quality

[plucky leaf]

My computer explodes when I use cycles

[chrome briar]

If you want I can render, the computer allows you to do this

[plucky leaf]

Nah, it's fine

[plucky leaf]

Alright, I'll check that, but I'm pretty sure the radius was relatively small

I'm using a spot light if that makes a difference

[chrome briar]

small radius

[plucky leaf]

Radius size here

[chrome briar]

big radius

[plucky leaf]

It makes no difference if I shrink it

[chrome briar]

I think the guy from Northwood was right, add contact shadows

[plucky leaf]

?

[plucky leaf]

It's on

I honestly think it might just be the way I placed the lights

Actually, my cycles render is loading and I can see that there are shadows in it

That's weird

[chrome briar]

can you give me the blend format and I'll take a look?

[plucky leaf]

file's taking a while to upload

All I know is that it's something wrong with eevee

[chrome briar]

Ok, are there so many textures and models?

There's always something wrong with Eevee

the new version of blender will include Eevee with ray tracing

[plucky leaf]

Dang

File's halfway done

Nevermind

[chrome briar]

will it fit on discord?

[plucky leaf]

It gave up

I think it would but idk

I don't care much anyway, the cycles render is nearly done and it seems to include the shadows so i'll stick with that

[chrome briar]

compositing would be worth adding

[plucky leaf]

Ok my computer's dying here's the half-render

[chrome briar]

With all due respect, the visualization is terrible, the rendering is terrible, can you still give me the file?

[plucky leaf]

Dang.

That's nice.

[chrome briar]

OK then

[trail estuary]

bro just use eevee

[plucky leaf]

The shadows aren't working

I'm just gonna stick to 2d art

[potent sorrel]

Who is BEST Blender and SFM user by ya opinion? Just be strongly honest

[chrome marsh]

the best users from these apps?

uh

scpWyatt, CookielordThe3rd, Jordan Productions of SFM

BM and Windop of blender

POOKAV is new to sfm but his animations are fire

[potent sorrel]

Yeah from this server

Forgor to mention it that i meant ppl from here

[potent sorrel]

Checked POOKAV, he's been doing sfm for years, dont think he's new to it

[warped iron]

I’m honoured

[halcyon sparrow]

Honoured

[potent sorrel]

Windop is truly best blender user from here considering he won art of the year in game

true

[potent sorrel]

There arent many sfm users either, only i know are Wood and delectable meal

[tired sparrow]

ME!

ME!

[gleaming nimbus]

im the best blender animator evr!!!!!!!!!

[midnight talon]

me asf 🔥

(i have 54 hours on blender)

[potent sorrel]

Tru satisfaction as sfm user is when blender users like ur art

[potent sorrel]

102 hours on sfm

[gleaming nimbus]

18671 hours on gmod 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[dire goblet]

I use sfm but I get why a lot of people don’t use it, especially for scp

[potent sorrel]

Yeah cuz no facial bones

But i try to get ideas where facial isn't needed much

[dire goblet]

Also because scp models just suck

Or more specifically people can’t port to save their lives

[potent sorrel]

I just do from gmod to sfm

[gleaming nimbus]

The scp models are not professionally rigged, so many convenient features are just missing :(

[dire goblet]

I’m more talking blender to sfm

[gleaming nimbus]

might re-rig em when I learn more about advanced rigging

[potent sorrel]

Their texture overall looks shit

Blender atleast makes them look clean

Sfm is just
Scp sl model straight into sfm with no fixes at all

[dire goblet]

And half the time there’s something wrong with the model

For example, a pack of human models had a fucked up rig on the arms

A 939 model had its spines as an entirely separate model for some reason

[gleaming nimbus]

sfm is almost 10 yers old with no updates, but not sure how blender could magically improve textures, unless there is an importing issue for sfm

[potent sorrel]

Only fixed models i have seen are black mesa models

[pine geode]

I used SFM for a good bit but moved on to Blender after a while

It took a few tries for me to not just give up on Blender and go back because Blender's UI is very intimidating

I also barley use any of it which helps

[gleaming nimbus]

took me like 30 hours to get use to everything lol, new ui is very scare

[potent sorrel]

Took me 60 hours on sfm realize how tf u turn on volumetric light lmao

[gleaming nimbus]

documentation my boy, it's a life saver

and a time saver

[dire goblet]

As an sfm user with almost 2.5k hours

I implore you to not use sfm

Learn blender if possible

[potent sorrel]

only reason i learn sfm is cuz i watched a lot of sfm animations as kid and wanted to learn it also

[gleaming nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-jumpy-gif-20153297

[potent sorrel]

this one is my best so far, in my opinion ofc

[gleaming nimbus]

you should light the subjects a wee bit more tho, other than that it's pretty good

[bronze field]

[potent sorrel]

#art-showcase message how do you make "laggy" animation?

[bronze field]

animate on 2's

every second frame or so

depending on framerate

[dire goblet]

I placed a new key frame every 2 frames, sometimes for 4 6 or even 8 if I want emphasis on a pose

Then I set the key frames to stepped tangents which gives it that choppy feel

(I animated at 30 fps btw)

[gleaming nimbus]

It's also good to have more impact frames in the animation as a way to emphasize an action, rather than to animate it normally

[gleaming nimbus]

oh you beat me to it ;-;

[dire goblet]

My fault gangington

Fun fact though:

The eyes are not animated in stepped tangents

They’re animated normally

[gleaming nimbus]

ooo never thought of animating parts separately like that, will consider for now on

[dire goblet]

It actually came down to a technical issue with the face controls on the model but I think it kinda works in a weird way

[plucky leaf]

💀

if it isn't as eye catching as the others then notice the difference between your thumbnail and the others

[tribal kernel]

K, so I'm here (a fucking gain) to just know why do YOU guys (this server on discord) hate the things that I do,*** now I do know what I have done for the last year or so, and have went a bit silent, thou I'm a bit of a hype SL chatter box fan, so I don't know***, so I'll be just here (this message) and I'll responded after everyone has made a point or two why you guys hate my content, cause I think its interesting (no suspicion at all, do even go there, its strict business) So, what's up with you guys hating?

[halcyon sparrow]

How do I copy message links on mobile

[halcyon sparrow]

Literally no one has talked about you in a hot minute you’re fighting some imaginary statements

But I’m not gonna say anything else cuz I don’t wanna yap in art discussion like that

[cerulean umbra]

the yap is strong with this one

[tribal kernel]

Thats understandable

[halcyon sparrow]

Why are you #3 096 hater

[tribal kernel]

096 sucks i suppose

[cerulean umbra]

1 and 2 is streamlin and granoula

[halcyon sparrow]

Are you hating on thr scp itself or the in game 096

[cerulean umbra]

ingame 096

[halcyon sparrow]

Oh ok

👍

[potent sorrel]

I kinda dont remember anyone having complaints about u in art discussion channel

[drifting idol]

nobody has talked about you at all

literally nobody

ur fighting imaginary messages or smth

like in the past 3 weeks nobody has spat your name out

[potent sorrel]

Maybe he switched servers or sum

Wouldnt be that aggressive towards him tbh

[drifting idol]

im not being agressive its just that he puts out these "Why do you guys hate me" messages on like a 3 week basis

[halcyon sparrow]

It’s been 13 days yeah

[pine geode]

he DOES do it a lot

[drifting idol]

and also mr n, its not about we hate your content, its about how you put these 5 paragraph essay messages, asking us "Why do you hate me" or "What did i do wrong" It's just about how everytime you pop in here you yap and yap with these bold ass messages asking us why we hate you

we dont hate your content bro, your art is sick

its just the way you been acting

[pine geode]

I think a lot of his stuff is pretty cool

but yeah very random rambles

[potent sorrel]

Which is better looking?
Left side has more dust particles and a bit more smoke while right side has a little dust particles and smoke only at Mtf's side

[drifting idol]

2

[chrome marsh]

no one hates ur content its just (in my opinion) not good

[glossy acorn]

we don't really hate "you", we dislike how you act to the feedback we give to you, aswell as you flood the art channels with random shit other than art or similar work, eg the "IS NORTHWOOD SHUTTING DOWN SL?!?!?!/1/1/" incident 💀

its basically we dislike how you act

also texture work

[vocal roost]

looks cool

[vocal roost]

u use #art-showcase to put random cryptic teasers instead of actual art a lot of the time + u act very self centred

[trail estuary]

the first thing i see when i step out of a train

[tribal kernel]

So conclusion, do I just shut up talking on discord all together and mute my rambles about everything? Is that it?

[drifting idol]

nobody said that but ok

[formal bluff]

Ngl it looks like his eyes are covered with lasers

[bronze field]

I need to add variation to the run part, if you have any cool ideas what can be happening around him to make the character less repetitive during the run, Im all ears

for sure I gotta make the background something more than basic shapes and lights, but it's just an placeholder for now

[pine geode]

could add objects in the way that it shoves and flings to get through

maybe make it kind of bump walls or something and cause damage

[halcyon sparrow]

Make him crawl on the ceiling

[bronze field]

yeah I wanna make some general mayhem, but I gotta figure out what exactly should be happening

[pine geode]

spinning red alarm lights could be cool and uhh

it could trip up at some point(s) and like go on all fours for a few seconds to add variety to its animation

might wanna add bends in the halls, perhaps a door like midway through that it breaks through and continues running

it should also probably swallow the arm it was eating at some point, or just spit it out when it sees a new victim

thats all the ideas I can think of!

[bronze field]

alrighty

thanks for your thoughts

[potent sorrel]

Lmfaoooo

[opaque raft]

it has pixels

[potent sorrel]

Sfm

[potent sorrel]

I just have no idea how tf u make shaking from fear effect

And i fucked everything up cuz of blurr i set on a bit too much and close

[opaque raft]

try to imitate it yourself, kind of put yourself in 049's place and try to recreate the shake with your own hands and try to recreate it into an animation. I sometimes do it with my viewmodel animations where i'll use some of my airsoft guns as reference.

[potent sorrel]

Everytime i place someone in position, i try them myself for it to look more anatomical accurate but fuck sake from what i made fear effect looks like he's having some seizure

Maybe i should just put 1key frame away and move only a little

[opaque raft]

😂 try different approaches, you could add a bit more rotation then position since when you shake you're hands mostly twist and move slightly left to right

Also try adding some stuff to his upper torso and head so it feels more natural

[potent sorrel]

@chrome briar i swear if ur art doesnt get 20 flames I'd be so mad

Days spend working on it for nothing

Im still confused how mines got 18 flames

Now i have a GREAT idea for art (which in gonna fail fatally)

[chrome briar]

I have never received 20 flames before))

[glossy acorn]

https://i.gyazo.com/f51805141d4882220bfe45dfe5d12244.mp4

[chrome briar]

why in vain, I don’t work for likes, I satisfy the need for creativity

[potent sorrel]

Highest i have ever gotten is 18 flames

2 left before 20 flames

[chrome briar]

this depends on many factors, including at what point in time the work was submitted

[potent sorrel]

I do it cuz it feels good when ppl like ur art and also cuz i have a lot of idea in head and i just want to "unleash" it, maybe it can also lead others making art abt scp

[potent sorrel]

Mines tood 2-3 days to hit 18

[chrome briar]

it’s not such a tough job to really admire it, I know a dude who makes really cool robots, although he uses kitbashes and ready-made alphas

[gleaming nimbus]

@glossy acorn omg can't believe you made hl2 in roblox!!!!

[opaque raft]

quick renders (rendered them in substance painter thats why they look so dark and janky)

[gleaming nimbus]

oh forgot this wasn't showcase, looks awesome, love how you did the button especially

[opaque raft]

ty ty, i only posted it here because it's still kind of wip

[gleaming nimbus]

fair, tho could pass for a final piece

super good

[glossy acorn]

i believe that is what i have made, made hl2 in dynablocks

[potent sorrel]

2 of my arts are on main page of scp sl artwork

popular this week

[azure valve]

Is here anyone who use SFM?

I can't find scp sl map

[potent sorrel]

you need to download the models themselves not the map

if u do the map it will show an big fat error cuz of HDR and to fix it it takes a million year

also the sl map in sfm is outdated one

not the new

Deserved fr fr

[chrome briar]

There are still 5 days left to wait, and then the chances decrease sharply

[azure valve]

The latest map of scpsl was present in Garry's mod.

But I failed to transfer them to the sfm.

[opaque raft]

ur work is phenomenal hope you get accepted man

[gleaming nimbus]

💪

[dire goblet]

It’s too big to transfer

I tried it myself it takes up too much space for sfm to load it in

[azure valve]

It's really sad.

I also tried to get only the parts I wanted using Hammer editor

but it was a very difficult task for me

;-;

[dire goblet]

I think I was able to load in each zone separately and that worked but I can’t remember

By even then the sl map clearly wasn’t designed for sfm so it doesn’t look the best

[azure valve]

I guess it's just the way to use the old map

[potent sorrel]

@azure valve @dire goblet just download models

[dire goblet]

I can’t find any map models

Not on the workshop, da, sfm lab, etc

[chrome briar]

you can ask Windop for models

[potent sorrel]

You need external software that extracts all models

Once u extracted need to place them in usermod or custom folder

[trail estuary]

no need workshop, need blender

[potent sorrel]

No need blender, need models

[dire goblet]

That’s for blender silly

[dire goblet]

I think I have the maps anyway so it’s fine

I’ll check but I think I do

Oh shit

Wasn’t I supposed to send you the mask scenebuild pack for sfm?

[potent sorrel]

Yes

[dire goblet]

My fault gangington

Ill send it when i get home

[trail estuary]

eh sfm has too many limitations

[azure valve]

real

[potent sorrel]

Prompts can remove them tbh

[trail estuary]

can you do fluid simulation in sfm?

[halcyon sparrow]

Use blender gang

[bronze field]

Blender gang be like: BRRRRRRRRRRERRRRRRRRRDRR....

https://tenor.com/view/smoothie-blending-strawberry-gif-8883016

[dire goblet]

Not all of them

Prompts and scripts can’t change the fact that it’s a 32 bit software

As such it has a hard memory limit that can’t be altered

I use mem reduct to reduce memory usage but it can only do so much

[potent sorrel]

According to animations I've seen as a kid

Yes

[dire goblet]

There’s certain particle effects for it but they’re extremely clunky

Literally no reason to not use blender

[halcyon sparrow]

Just learn the blender way

[halcyon sparrow]

What is this man making

Strawberry smoothie

[trail estuary]

no

wrong

[potent sorrel]

Animation with this music would go gard

[trail estuary]

copyrighted

🔥

[potent sorrel]

Wait, im dumb, what does exactly copyright mean, like i cant pretend its mine or cant use it?

[gusty trout]

yea, copyright is like pretending its yours.

[potent sorrel]

Im not gonna pretend its mine, its not like i could do the same

I will just simply use it for animation

[trail estuary]

i get pennies from my videos, and if i use good music, it gets copyrighted and i earn zero

🤑

[humble bramble]

Sounds like youtube

[potent sorrel]

Bruhh

Not like i can get money from animations i make lmfao

Low quality shit fr

https://tenor.com/view/doom-slayer-gif-26381601

Even failed to make fire particles on my art i showrd in art showcase

[dire goblet]

Solution: make all of your own music

[potent sorrel]

Step 1: learn to make them

[midnight talon]

i use capcut as a professional editing software

please do not bully me

#art-showcase message

heres something i cooked wit h it

[potent sorrel]

I made particles in sfm

[dire goblet]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/obgzlhcxisnz1bb/The_Mask's_scenebuild_pack_all_in_one.7z/file

heres the mask scenebuild thing

15 GB of models

[tall wasp]

normal blender fluid simulations are bad
