Your voice ain't bad. You'll get used to it. I as well kinda thought that my voice was weird

[@BorMachine]

Want me to make more tutorials? Post in the comments what you'd like to see!

[@RedMoreBlue]

You missed one thing... About buying the orange box... Everyone maybe cant buy it so there is an alternate fix to missing textures and stuff ingame! You just have to get the CSS, HL2E1, HL2E2 content addon! You can just google it or search for it on youtube. That content addon helped me out alot! So i thought to let you know... Maybe add in the description or whatever...

[@thomasclarke2460]

[@clockknight13]

Some advice- for the huge uncompressed files, I like to use handbrake. It should be free, and it can compress/ convert videos into smaller formats, while keeping the quality, and the settings are modifiable. Thanks for the video, and keep making great stuff!

[@whatev2uER]

i cant use gcfscape in vegas pro 14, any help?

[@liamhewton6989]

Thanks so much Bormachine. im starting a youtube channel later this year and i wanted to have some gmod animations as part of the channel but i was overwhelmed by how difficult it seemed but this video is really compact and well made.

[@BorMachine]

Thanks :) good luck with your channel mate

[@liamhewton6989]

Abdulwahab Jag i likely wont be doing it on this account but i will make it a related channel. Looking forward to see ya there!

[@liamhewton6989]

[@xeromachinimas]

In my opinion, OBS is the best recording software.

[@vyzi3781]

Technically yes but Streamlabs OBS works the same is more optimized and You don't need a $10k PC to get some funny 20FPS

[@Ness56608]

Yeah i agree to

[@greenboib74]

Well if u fix the freezing and choppy then obs is the best

[@LolZtrike]

OBS is very lag

[@AmplifiedGamerEXTRA]

obs is something you can use if you have a good cpu, gpu (graphics card), ssd/harddrive, and 16gb of ram

[@SHARTICUS]

nevermind that this helped me a lot for gmod, this was a fantastic tutorial in general. Quick, straight to the point. It was obvious you did some planning with this. You turned a potential 30 minute video into a 16 minute video. Thank you.

[@BorMachine]

Glad you liked it, maybe I will do some more tutorials in the future :)

[@SHARTICUS]

BorMachine Yes, you should

[@F4zzycz]

i like the fact that he just out of nowhere said a slur and dosent care about it (i should feel offended cause the slur is techniclly towards me, but i find it quite funny)

[@ThomasSkymusic]

Well thanks buddy, I was getting interrested by gmod animation, and when I finished watching the video, I felt like you did an great job at explaining all of that and I couldn't do anything more than just "like the video". So wanted to let you know that you helped at least one guy understand how it works. I'm greatfull for what you have done. Thanks buddy ♥

[@BorMachine]

Thomas HOARAU Glad it helped you and thanks for the kind feedback :)

[@armandsavots4345]

Dude, thank you sooo much. I've been wanting to get in to gmod animation for a long time but i never knew how to do it. You explained everything in much detail and i understood everything. Thanks so so much. Liked and Subscribed

[@BedroQuendoTV]

Idk what it is but this video really satisfies me, with this nice and cute editing, voice, explaining everything detailed, yeeee boiiiiiiiii keep it on, you rlly helped me :D

[@xpumpkins8951]

how do you edit the character voice to say specific words that are not included in the game files? for example, heavy saying "oh shit medic is a noob" ..the lines that are not included in the game files, how do you edit them to say other words?

[@user-kf6vv2qq1h]

Yep. Little tutorial on sound editing will be useful.

[@BorMachine]

well it's just editing parts of existing voice lines together. Maybe I will cover this in the next episode :)

[@stapmoshun]

audacity and smooth splicing.

[@xpumpkins8951]

alrite then, i'll be waiting for the tutorials :)

I wish I wish with all my heart these free downloads don't tear my computer apart

[@smitty462]

i just get my TF2 voice lines from the TF2 wiki...

[@Jammer439y8]

Question, would you consider getting the voice lines from the wiki a better alternative, is it easier to do?

[@smitty462]

@@Jammer439y8 i used to do it bc i was too lazy to unpack tf2's vpk files plus on the wiki you could actually see the particular line you wanted so i thought it was easier

[@Xplainn93]

@@Jammer439y8 You can either do that, or take the sounds from the Source Filmmaker folder in your steamapps... well, folder.

[@CyberneticSheep]

i know this is like old and stuff, but dude, thank you very much. i got a new pc last year and now i decided to start animating stuff like this, i did a little test, and its great, but damn this take lot of time. i feel like editing and doing the timing right is the thing that really bother me the most, but after all i had a great time. thank you so much dude you are my hero. (i also dont speak english so sorry for mistakes)

[@boomboom6410]

It's freaky how the last video I watched before this wasn't related to this at all but it used the same background music. I know it's a common song but still...

Where has this been all my life? :D oh wait..

[@strangebones2000]

Your English is better than some people who only speak English. Great job!

You made Heavy say stupid. Nice work! But am I the only one who wishes you made him say "Pootis"? xD

[@delycan4912]

That ragdoll driver tip really helped me

[@funkymango5091]

(ASSUMING YOU HAVE SOURCE FILMMAKER) Another way to find all voice lines from TF2 is to go to your Source Filmmaker directory, then game/tf/sound and every sound within TF2 is there

[@engineer_from_team_fortress_2]

Team fortress 2 voice lines you can download from tf2 wiki, that's easier to search what you need.

[@bongibot1104]

Thank you BorMachine. I started making a video but now I just need to edit it. This would've been nice when I started but at least now the next one will be better.

[@trollge594]

This is what I use: obs studio for recording, garrys mod for animation , and wav pad video editor for editing and myinstants for sounds

[@mattymatt1283]

Still going on the tutorial, just one question, i have a mac, does any of the applications​ work on mac?

[@derpysquid3966]

The Ragdoll driving a car thing doesn't work anymore Anyone knows how to fix this?

The best Tutorial for gmod is yours bro thx alot!

Oh my god thank you for the info if i can make actual good gmod vids like u i van become an animator like you!

Vegas is now by Magix, the Magix Vegas is a nice tool.

[@ArwichGmodVids]

Now, this is a great tutorial.

[@LostElsen]

I really thought you are russian Good tutorial! Although i'd like more animation tips, little tricks and features than trivia

[@tomasriquelmeg]

each time i put lamps while "+mat_depthbias_shadowmap 0.00001" "+mat_slopescaledepthbias_shadowmap 2" "+r_projectedtexture_filter 0.05" "+r_flashlightdepthres 16384" is on lua panics and crashes

[@DAVID4GAMER]

2018 Just remembering how ridiculously ussefull was this video to me among others.

[@AboAbdulable]

Great Bor, but I also recommend Stop Motion screenshots with FRAPS instead of the camera tool, I don't know about you but the tool just makes gmod so laggy and freezy that I prefer smooth FRAPS screenshots.

[@brisksoda]

A very very very helpful video man! Now I can make my “Garry’s Mod Random Moments videos better!

[@user-qe1tl2mf2f]

If you have an NVIDIA graphics card use GeForce experience it’s the best software it records at 1080p 60fps

[@hogiepogie4]

You need more subscribers. This video is amazing and all of your channel is amazing!

[@l0nkzorld0]

I really love how this videos title and outcome really relate to me lol

[@sentrysappingspy9293]

[@jozinek876]

BorMachine, you're German? WOAH, DAS IST SEHR KOOL!!!! And this is really helpful

[@dolarhyde]

Sehr gut video. I really needed a detailed video. Hope you have upcoming vids soon!

[@TennaLP]

hätte niemals gedacht das du deutsch bist xD echt gute englische Aussprache! Ach ja und danke für das Video!

[@Spuds2]

Best good tutorial ever

[@antonrockoboac8711]

you can record with obs its free and you can separate the game audio as a separate file and you voice too and it saves videos to a more reasonable size

[@someguy4258]

or for tf2 you can go into sfm cause they have sound files there

[@JunkSplash]

I recommend OBS it will require a beefy pc and it's for advanced users but still it's free :)

[@urmommy5]

If you don't want to buy fraps, Electa live screen recorder is a free alternative.

[@leonardkunze2289]

Now brain got melted

[@GG_twiggy]

DAMN! not even 30 seconds in and we already got the F slur. Das crazy

[@TheEvilMii]

Hey BorMachine, just a suggestion, but maybe you can record the making of your Gmod videos and then post those after you upload the finished video. I think that would be pretty cool!

[@Virtualexe]

Hey bormachine, I've some issues with too dark rendered videos and it's really annoying. The settings you gave, do you think that'll help? Maybe you experienced that problem too.

[@BorMachine]

You render to .mp4 right? Try rendering in .wmv like I showed in the video. If you still wanna use mp4 however, you have to apply a "ComputerRGB to StudioRGB" levels effect.

[@Virtualexe]

Ok gonna try that, thanks!

[@useless9771]

why can't i mount team fortress 2 in GMOD even if i have the game. It just Shows a folder with a minus.

[@Sprenner]

Hey bro, you forgot something which took me hours to fix XDD since I never do this type of stuff. Atleast, for me the normal 'Weld Smart' settings 'Auto Freeze' was unchecked, so when I'd weld it all together the ragdoll position would fall apart, but you need it checked, so when you weld it together, its still in its posed position, and then you can unweld it.

[@cranegamingtv8769]

Wow! I Love Your Voice, Sounds Like A News Reporter :D

[@OldCouches]

I use paint.net for image editing, windows movie maker for editing, and fraps free version, and yet my animations are better then most on youtube, AND THEY ARN'T EVEN THAT GOOD

[@BorMachine]

+Chügs Well if you take the time you dont need the best software to make good videos. That's why time is the most important thing :)

[@OldCouches]

Yeah it takes about 2-6 hours to make a 30 second clip

[@freezeblast4563]

Can u do a video on how to make ragdolls drive cars in some gmod animations

[@Blakekun123]

BorMachine please help. I was doing the ragdoll in a car thing but every time i smart weld, it unfreezes the ragdoll!

[@sonicbfdiag7050]

note: L4D and L4D2 are also source

[@michaellascek4558]

I think you should make another one of these but make it with only free software

[@CrimsonCascade]

actually there is a REALLY helpful player model in workshop that does wonders with keeping the user out of viewing sight

[@voidsludge1254]

What is it?

[@Hoovyspenser]

It seems when I use the launch options, the game will be stuck in loading screen but I can hear myself walking or anything in-game. I did remove the options afterwards but I'm still blind to the loading screen unless I set Shadows to 'Medium' or 'Low' as setting it to 'High' will cause the problem but it's still bad for me because I can no longer produce (grainy) dynamic shadows. I don't think removing the options is simply going to undo the settings so if anyone who is reading this and wants high quality dynamic shadows, you might run the risk of sacrificing your dynamic shadows or the playability of the game.

[@Hoovyspenser]

Or maybe I'm an idiot and just need to wait for the loading screen to disappear even if the actual game is loaded.

[@unkownoflife5959]

Could anyone help me on this problem. When I'm implementing my screenshots into sony vegas (set at 0.04 (2 frames (s)) all at once they instantly go super fast and I'm not sure how to fix this.

[@ThePoonaman]

[@thom14777]

wow what a useful tutorial thanks I just hope I can actually put it to good use

[@freezeblast4563]

Whenever I weld a ragdoll and make it drive after u do the smart weld and press r the heavy ragdoll isn't a statue anymore

[@BorMachine]

+Freezeblast 456 Are you using the statue tool from the "resurrected tools" from my workshop link?

[@freezeblast4563]

BorMachine yea but it says whenever you press r it becomes a ragdoll but when you did it it was still a statue

[@stapmoshun]

thank you, bormachine. youre so kind to make a tutorial for us noobs. thanks

[@waraxe14]

Thx man im gonna try to do more GMOD videos but im busy AF ;)

[@thicc_vic]

[@SwagLQ]

Its funny how things can change very quickly lol.

[@F7CK8UD]

Hey BorMachine! Was wondering what other addons you use to make life easier because you said use statue and i cant seem to find that anywhere, along with easy weld. Help?

[@BorMachine]

easy weld is included in my workshop collection (link is in the description). I will also add the statue tool (even though I thought that's a standard tool)

[@F7CK8UD]

Thanks so much! I was going to go to the workshop tools link but it seemed to be a link to this video, lol. Thanks for your time/response, means a lot!

[@BorMachine]

ShawDog I fixed it now. To get the statue tool, download the "Resurrected Tools - Gmod 12"

[@F7CK8UD]

SWEET!!! Thanks man, I appreciate it! I'm downloading it right now. Again thanks so much for your time.

[@distortedmusic4life788]

your startup command making my gmod take too long to load i even took it out of start menu command and still take too long to load plz how do i fix

[@stormvault5837]

When I use weld smart on ragdoll it will only select the freaking car and not both, I have no idea on how it allowed u to select both at once, I swear I feel like the game deos not want me to film any ragdolls while in the car
