How to Import CS2 Demos into S2FM and Create POVs and Cinematics for Montages / Edits

[@Rocklan]

For those of you who would like to import your CS2 demos into Blender, I have just dropped a tutorial covering exactly that!! Check it out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXvHl4OqqrGHaLs

[@BroknYeti]

Timing on this video is crazy. currently editing a cinematic shot rn and couldn't get pov footage in hlae without it be jumpy. you came in clutch like you always do. much love bro keep up the amazing work

[@Rocklan]

Thank you !!

[@BroknYeti]

gotta do other 3d software's. Your keeping the fragmovies alive @@Rocklan

[@BroknYeti]

Do you know how to change the skybox im having a hard time finding it @@Rocklan

[@zhx-mx9dm]

Awesome! But where is my smoke? :)

[@n0teroblox]

how do you get your cs2 demo's to work properly, mine the weapon animation is SO bugged. The weapon/knife keeps shifting itself from the hand ruins the entire demo

[@slurken26]

6:43 you can press SHIFT + F2 to start the demoui without console

[@csgems]

Awesome! Thank you for being swift about a tutorial covering this topic we are alot out there anxious to try out the new tools for CS2 editing. As a person in your niche audience, i love the way you convey the information straight and to the point. You surely know who you are talking to. Thank you P.S. When you mentioned getting this into blender, my mind exploded. I would love to see a tutorial on that.

[@Rocklan]

Hey thank you so much!

[@csgems]

@@Rocklan Awesome! Can't wait to get into that! Thank you.

[@totobs1]

great tut! making a video about taking animations from s2fm to blender would be great!

[@Rocklan]

thank you! I just posted a tutorial to export from s2fm to blender! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXvHl4OqqrGHaLs

[@totobs1]

​@@RocklanI bet it'll be good. Ty very much!

[@Cullo]

Just a quick question, how would one get the skins used in the demo, into the recorded playback? I'm stuck with just the base default skins. Also my AWP in the demo, wont show the scope when ADS.

[@kyrosane]

Did you find the answer? I am facing the same issues

[@Cullo]

@@kyrosane I did! or, rather, Rocklan did! if you import the demos into the other option with the HLAE method all the skins load perfectly, including operator. It just is a little less user friendly when making your points for the cinematic.

[@kyrosane]

@@Cullo i think hlae can get you vac banned? As it injects commands to the game

[@eldariusupov1245]

Awesome work! Really liked your other tutorials on cs2. Looking forward to see how to import demo to blender!

[@Rocklan]

Hey thanks! I just posted the blender tutorial - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXvHl4OqqrGHaLs

[@mOtuTMProductions]

man i'm loving these tutorial series of yours!! can you please make a tutorial on making cs2 animations on sfm like the one's we see in 3D fragmovies?

[@Felipeggwp]

friend, thank you very much, I'm marathoning your videos and learning a lot, thank you and congratulations for the content

[@SamcrafterFilms]

Subbed. Has anyone figured out how to make the skins appear?

[@ggwang7495]

Your video was fantastic! I hope you can make a tutorial on how to create CS character animations using S2FM. I would be very grateful!

[@cookiesdll]

Question: Is there a way in SFM to change the map? For example, changing Dust 2 to Dust 2 Night, whilst keeping the demo?

[@ScooTGetsClips]

Does anyone have a fix for "unable to extract addons from file" whenever you try to load a demo in S2FM?

[@RPX4S]

help me bro Filmmaker Can't see smoke

[@Pycsor1K]

Thanks for this Rocklan it will come in very handy

[@Rocklan]

No problem :)

[@bentcs]

Is it possible to also record the red death notices?

[@akiockist]

Thanks for your time and effort !

[@Rocklan]

Youre welcome :)

[@justtenor61]

hello thx for tutorials again, i have problem that smokes doesnt appear in sfm and i couldnt find how to do it

[@yugiohjoe_]

One question, is there a way to include glove / knife / weapon skins when recording the demo? I notice it deletes all weapon skins and makes the gloves black. Great vid though, thanks!

[@unknownanimal5418]

Did you find the solution ?

[@druid7734]

which one do u prefer for editing cs demos, premier, blender or SFM

[@boiant42]

Would you mind explaining why you edit with image sequences instead of video files? I just wanted to know if theres any sort of benefits of doing it one way or the other. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@Minijuz]

With image sequence you lose a lot less quality instead of video file

[@thomastakeshita4979]

congrats on 66.6k subs

[@W200me]

Do you know how to change lightning? When i'm trying to use camera settings like "maplightscale" or "timeofday" nothing happens.. Would be nice to make some dark cinematics with nice spit lights etc.

[@dozedtigers]

Any way to fix the glove textures and the viewmodel animations? Hella jittery and misaligned

[@mradriiiian]

After I try to load the demo my cs2 and S2FM window crashes, only the console remains. The demo loads a few seconds but it never finishes Edit: I needed to reset my windows anyway and that worked for me. I don't know what it was tough.

[@CS2LOVERs]

please upload the 3rd person cinematic recording method I am so desperate . Thank you.

[@sleezcs]

i cannot render it as a movie.. just comes out to black screen with sound whatever i do, and sometimes it doesn't even save a file anywhere?

[@RizosKonstantinos]

That was fire dude

[@Rocklan]

Thanks :)

[@bentcs]

It was not finding the demo for me. what worked was press (CTRL + Right mouse) copy as path and paste it behind playdemo

[@bentcs]

How to record in high fps?

[@OzairA.Gaming]

It seems much charmndr's video link is wrong in the description.

[@Rocklan]

thanks for pointing it out, just fixed it

[@shinji_mood]

for some reason it cant load my demo. Doy oyu happen to know what may cause this? found a reddit thread but tips didint work

[@theNicesify]

how can i use custom maps from the workshop or my own (compiled) ? Is there a way ?

[@Rocklan]

If you right click on the viewport of an empty project there’s an option along the lines of set map and from that menu I think you can select a workshop map file instead

[@ScooTGetsClips]

Whenever I try to load my demo I get a message saying "unable to extract addons from file" How do I fix this?

[@phiality9070]

the issue is it NEVER records the parts that you want it to record, even if you wait for the countdown

[@michealscott111]

Thank you so much brother, but i have a question, how can we record these demos in slow motion, should i record the game in slow motion? ( I have tried changing the timescale but it didnt worked, never goes under 1 )

[@ExiteGraphics]

How to stop source filmmaker crashing?

[@LianLi-gl8jj]

Can i ask you for what is the best editing software in your opinion kind sir ?

[@Rocklan]

I think premiere pro with after effects is the best. But if you’re looking for a free software then you can’t go wrong with davinci resolve

[@TruongNguyen-ld1jk]

Can't saw smoke. :( help plss😥

[@jkeemmTv]

I'm doing an edit on my friends deagle ace but I cant find any info on how to change weapon & glove skin to the skins I want to put, anyone know where I can find info or know how to change it in s2fm?

[@nicoyad]

It's not really related but I wanted to ask is there a way to get greenscreen models from demos? I know there was a way in csgo with hlae but is there a way with cs2?

[@kenanchiu]

Does anyone know how to make smokes appear in s2fm?

[@leonard_roy]
