Composition, posing, lighting, editing - I can handle them given I’ve already done quite a handful of renders with SFM (and it’s something I’ve been doing with MMD since 2013). What I fear the most is the amount of lights I have to use. When I learned that I literally, and I mean LITERALLY, only need to use *_one_* soft lamp for the general lighting, I felt like jumping out of my skin and celebrating. I like humorous tutorials. I’ll keep this video open so I can follow it step-by-step (while constantly berating myself for doing yet another portrait render). Thanks man.
My time as a Gmodder may be over, but hopefully this tutorial will help a future generation of artists to come. Good luck everyone, keep that creativity alive, look for inspiration everywhere, anywhere and don't overthinl things too much just go and get at it!
mate, this looks complicated but fun at the same time, i'm done doing petty screenshots with default methods and i'm excited to try out this, thank you for the video!
This video legitimately guarantees the future of high quality source art. Really really useful, and good on you for recreating it. Oh yeah and btw what model did you use @ 15:22 ? thanks bud
Thank you for this tutorial! Up until now I've been making pretty shitty scenes using pre-existing maps and no post-editing whatsoever. A friend linked me this video and I think it's great for explaining the basics.
I dunno if you still read comments, but seriously man, I ADORE your work so much. I've played GMod for 1800 hours now and I'm nowhere near your level when it comes to GMod art, everything about these tutorial videos are amazing. The snarky sense of humor, the amazing tips that are straight to the point... I dream of someday making art as good as the one showcased in this video! Amazing job!
that spooky light spot on gm black messed up and entire city i was making for some arkwork it was the most noticable building in the front so i had to manually erase the lit parts in photoshop was not fun
I don't comment much or know if you still even read the comments here, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate your tutorial. The instructions on good settings and how to set it up are so clear and concise, following along was a breeze. And that advice about starting small to avoid burnout, was probably one of the best tips of this tutorial. Starting small means learning small, and I've obviously gotta start walking before I run. I also thought it would be much more time consuming to achieve similar results I'd always see on the Gmod community hub or on other art sites, but repetition makes for a good teacher as well. I'm obviously nowhere near the same level yet, only doing soft lamps on and off for about a month now, but your guide has been immensely helpful in getting closer, step by step - and I'm really noticing the changes. Sorry for the long read, but I did sincerely want to express my gratitude. Hope you're doing well man! 👍
Hey Ive been following your stuff for a while now and your old tutorial actually helped me get into the usage of light bounce, I fell out of practice and came back to try again. Ive run into an issue where light sprayer just isnt puting down points, i did a short google search and couldnt find anything but links back to here. I even looked for other comments with the issue but it seems im the only one having this happen. All i get in console is "Calculated 0 lights for light spray!" am i just missing something incredibly obvious?
I thought I remembered Olma much more salty, turned out the tutorial is way more useful than I remembered. One thingie tho. Did anyone *not* have the flashlight frustrum show up after the comman in console? Never works, whatever I do, for some reason. I hope this can be fixed. Other than this, a good vid, thanks a bunch.
Not sure if you are still active but im having some issues, one the lightbounce render keeps just rendering black even though i did the light spray thing, 2 when i did the ambience it just makes the render look deepfried and bright???
flashlightdrawfrustum doesn't work for some reason :( it says r_flashlightdrawfrustum = 1 . 000000 ( def. "0" ) client. Can you help? I looked for some help on discord but couldn't find any. I tried unbinding and rebinding and nothing happened. I'm kinda new to soft lamps and Gmod commands so sorry if this was an easy fix I didn't know about.
Sorry for the number of questions. When you said adjust the opacity of each light layer, is it mostly the lightbounce layer because adjusting them all below 100% would show the transparent background.
olmate what have you done to my son? i know you ran over my newborn yesterday on the highway. you and your goon squad did it to me. can i atleast get an explination to why??? turning you over to the police would be pointles......
Hi there, i don't know if you still need help, but you should do the following: Select the necessary addons (vplane, vtrace, soft lamps & scenic dispenser),copy their files, and place in your gmod addons folder. Usually, the path is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons".
At this point, it's lot less tedious if you learn about Blender; it's a lot like driving a car, sure it's difficult at first however you get used to it over time through repetition and the right tutorials
not enough people say this but thank you for teaching us how to properly light, a lot of boring nights have been saved by you and now i have a passion for scene building
hey i found another vid with it in the desc but the site it leads to is in russian since he is a russian yt channel ua-cam.com/video/vnzXhW9rHsQ/v-deo.html
Oh my lord. I am glad this dude said that thing about not having multiple lamps, because I did that and my thing didn't come out right when I was following a guide that was using multiple lamps at a time.
This already doesn't help! The addon got an update or something because nothing in this video I can see in the setting of the tool. I got to the document on Google Drive but that didn't help me either!
Came from nikethehuman. I knew about you before, but now - I'm interested again. Do you know how to make lighting in sfm like gmod? Because in sfm everything is too soft and sometimes sharpy and unrealistic.
Hey whenever I got to do my ambient layer I have to move and then when I get back into position and take the photo and then edit it the photo goes all weird. How do make it so it doesn't go all weird?
"Postersplit doesn't do anything useful". Well yes kinda. I found that if you put in 1 for it, then it will save your shot in four pieces depending on the the poster size you put in. So like it saves the 4 pieces your poster 2 shot. So no value for that. Maybe this was already discovered. But just informing it as a late note.
Dear Oilmate, I hope this comment finds you well. I am requesting to be unbanned from the discord server. I apoligize for my account getting hacked and it spamming scam links. It will not happen again. Kind regards
I want to thank you for this excellent video! After a month practicing each tool of this video y manage to create my first wallpaper and I love it, looking now for polishing my technique. Oh, and I love the way to explain
