JakeMirac thx

[@randytda4463]

Nice

[@danielgarza5698]

how do you take the picture?

[@JakeMirac]

@late night productions select camera tool and press mouse1 or alternative version, press f12!

[@metro6926]

did you rename your face posing things or is that a workshop mod????

[@theopdr.6114]

The "Advanced Camera" addon helps a lot since you could tweak it's FOV in real time,so no more going back and forth when it comes to setting up the angle and what can only be seen in the scene :D

[@JakeMirac]

Yeah, I actually have that addon and it's super helpful!

[@theopdr.6114]

@@JakeMirac tbh with you,SMH seems like a more useful animation tool as you can keyframe a pose and tweak it when you have made a mistake.Basically wont give you the painful "restarting the whole scene" work again.

[@JakeMirac]

@@theopdr.6114 Yeah, smh is very useful but I personally don't use it, because i don't know how to use it and I like to animate the way I animate now

[@theopdr.6114]

@@JakeMirac oof,alrighty my dude. You do you and keep up the good work :D

[@danielszilagyi9112]

This is probably the easyiest gmod animation tutorial I ever seen. I Love it! There are many tools that you can use, but its all based on stop motion, just like every cartoon. And you can make it even better, if you make more frames. This is not just the easiest, but its olso a great way to make animations. Great job:D!

[@JakeMirac]

Thank you for your comment! Also there is some limits for animations framerates. In my opinion, with original stop motion style 30 fps is propably better looking than for example 60 fps. You can test different framerates while making your animations and choose framerate which has the best results!

[@danielszilagyi9112]

@@JakeMirac Ahhh:3. Thank you for the tip. And I searched to some videos like this, just to can start my youtube channel. I mean... its still just a plan, but at this time, I started to dowland Vegas Pro 17! So I could start. This was a huge dream to me. Garry's nod tf2 videos is a part of my childhood! But my plans are wanna be more serious than those videos. I wanna create a tf2 universe where the community creates the world. For example: there are free to play, gibus wearing scouts or othets. But there would be youtubers and animation creaters. And community made gamemodes that gonna get a story. For another example: I would like to create a while story, to the slender fortress game mode, and olso for freak fortress. This is my dream. But before everything, I will probably do a couple of tests. Wait a minite, why Am I telling so much information... whatever. I think I will add you in steam, and than we could talk. I will check out your other videos;) you peobably have more!

[@crayoncheese802]

I don't understand how to make poses with the physgun, I stand pose the character, and I can't give it a pose neither with the physgun nor the ragdoll mover (sorry for bad english) Edit: if I move an arm for example it falls because of gravity, how do I make it stand still?
