Good job you know the basics of posing a model (with possibly a rig) and lighting a scene with spotlights. I've just been honing my skills and learning the program inside and out from that point to now. Well, that was a mistake of which I quickly learned from. I was once like you, thinking I could pick up SFM in no time and make top notch stuff. You sound like the impatient type TBH, and this is somethign that takes time, effort and deciation.
#How to do stop motion animation how to
I may not be responding much, but I do read them frequently.Originally posted by ShakenCola:Not saying im a pro, but I know basic posing and lighting, i just need the button on how to make the next frame More extensive FAQ and guidelines for reporting bugs can be found here. There is also a video tutorial available, which can clear things up better. You can fix that by going to the settings through SMH's menu, and checking and unchecking "Don't animate physbones".Ī: I know my tutorial making skills are not that good, but if you have some patience to fiddle around with the tool, you get the hang of it and understand it better. Q: Ragdolls don't move when I playback my animation, but their shadows do?Ī: This issue is generally caused by desync of the "Don't animate physbones" setting. Otherwise, leave a comment below including the error you are getting. So if you are getting errors and you are not in sandbox mode, disable the addon. Check the tutorial to make sure you are typing the commands correctly.Īlso, SMH has only been tested on sandbox mode, and most likely doesn't work on other gamemodes. Most often you may forget the + sign in front of some commands. Q: Command x doesn't work, and I'm getting x errorĪ: First, make sure the command you use is correct. So if you select one entity, record frames, select another, record frames, both of these entities will be animated.Ī: If you have the faceposer tool open, it will override any facial changes made when you move between frames with SMH, so you need to unequip the faceposer tool to see the changes. All entities that have any recorded frames are animated automatically, when the playhead is moved or when smh_playback command is used. Q: Why can't I select more than one entity?Ī: In the new version, entities are selected for editing their frames. To do that, bring up SMH menu, and right click on the entity you want to record, which would highlight it with a green halo (Although highlighting doesn't always work, but it still should select the entity) Just press that subscribe button up there and play gmod.Ī: Generally this happens because you didn't select an entity to record the poses of. Load menu now has a function to spawn and offset position of saved entities Physics of props and ragdolls can be recorded in SMH with Physics Recorder It is possible to separate modifiers that record properties of entities into separate timelines, like faceposing and posing Frames are positioned in a timeline, very similar to 3D animation programs, which makes frame manipulation much more easier and fluid
Frames are now stored seperately for each entity, so they are not locked to all entities You can use it in any ragdoll posing situation to store different poses of your ragdolls
You can save all of your recorded frames, so you can come back to your project, change things, and render it again You can store ragdoll and prop positions into frames, so you don't have to make screenshots right away You can make linear transitions between two positions, and also ease them in and out It can save the state of ragdolls and props into frames and animate between them.
