[SFM] HLVRAI - There's Nothing There

I had this idea in my head for months. I love HLVR AI and I decided to make a quick animation on it in one day.

The scene where Coomer was floating in the void with the skeleton was really fucking cool, makes me think how Benrey and his skeleton army were already aware of them being in a videogame and Coomer was just hit with that realization. Awesome stuff!

[@ScruffyGamerAnimations]

Thanks!

[@KalebTheDuck]

that would explain why the skele-bros, and benrey are trying to kill him every chance they get, because they were all aware of them being in a game from the very beginning, ever since he stopped gordon for his passport, he knew all along, and that would also explain coomer trying to kill him, because as soon as he figured out he was in a game, he needed to escape.

[@OneGamerCat]

that could also explain the "a world in your dreams", dr coomer knew that he was in a video game, but he realized that gordon was the main character, and he was trying to escape to the real world

[@Terlinilia]

Benrey clearly knew from the start. He was the first one we've seen straight up teleporting and using items that weren't within the confines of HL1.

[@theabyss310]

I love how genuinely horrified Coomer looks when he sees outside of the map

[@JudeOhHecc]

There is no outside to the mortal world. Nothing. Nothing is where you can’t see. How would you feel?

[@technicolorgodship2242]

benrey chasing alyx in the bg is fucking amazing

[@ScruffyGamerAnimations]

Was hoping someone would notice xD

[@blancarodriguez9171]

Saw that too

[@THATGuy5654]

The bit with Coomer and the skeleton has no right being so cinematic.

[@Space_Pencil]

How the HELL do you get so much expression out of the OG Half-Life models?! Its incredible!

[@ScruffyGamerAnimations]

Honestly, I'm still questioning myself about that. But I just tried to keep natural movements, and I moved their mouths up and down not based on how they're talking, but the volume of their voices, so it resembles classic half life.

[@Space_Pencil]

@@ScruffyGamerAnimations Ah, I see. I hadn't even noticed the volume-based movement, so congrats to you on that attention to detail!

I’m surprised we haven’t seen more SFM like this of HLVRAI

[@mushroomhead3619]

Shortly after this scene Gordon went to the All Dogs Go To Heaven universe and died.

[@cblake4111]

Gordon, do you know that everything we see *are the only things that exist?*

[@officialtoddhoward69]

I enjoy that the whole bit of Dr. Coomer is that he's essentially an NPC that broke out of its usual scripting and slowly becomes sentient, and in this moment realizes it's merely a digital character and thus grows fully aware

[@anamusingidiot2565]

This is fucking brilliant, the combination of what looks like the actual scientist idle pose(s) and subtle, detailed addons like Coomer looking down, just, [italian chef sucking fingers] muah.

[@ScruffyGamerAnimations]

Yeah, I'm still surprised at how expressive I made these old models

[@anamusingidiot2565]

if the whole series was animated like this i would pay millions to see it

[@FucksGaleprofessionally69]

Not even silent hill scared me as much as this singular fucking moment did. I genuinely got goosebumps when I first watched the HLVRAI playlist cuz it came so out of left field. The implications of it all, literally the lore behind HLVRAI is so fucking cool, like what happens to Coomer, Bubby and the rest once the series ends, like for good. Does Benrey know? Did they have lives before? That's why I fucking go nuts over the fanfics exploring the concept of what ifs and what was before Gordon's character got loaded in. Literally could go on and on about it for hours

[@shill2920]

I like how benry is always talking about PlayStation plus because its funny but think of the implications, hes an NPC, inside a game, taking the role of the outside player, who downloads and plays games. The other AI are self aware at most, with knowledge that they're in a game, but benry? He's a higher being.

[@Grimm_Child1]

The fact that wayne uses the Undertale genocide music makes the scene so much more terrifying..

[@Lokrongl]

Wow this is super good! Talk about an UNDERATED ANIMATOR! SFM is HARD (havent tried lol). Love the new perspective from Coomer

[@ScruffyGamerAnimations]

[@Corium1]

Bubby just dead pan "damn" is fucking hilarious

[@chinoyomaji288]

Bro such a nihilistic moment. Giving up cuz there's "nothing there" and followed up with an empty question of "what do we do..." knowing theres nothing you can do. Lmao i miss this series

[@half-blindentity9846]

When I first watch this, when Dr. Cooper said there was nothing there I genuinely had chills go down my spine because the change of tone was so sudden

[@toainsully]

Not to mention that the Fallen Child theme from Undertale was playing

[@theshadowworld2239]

Unfortunately, regarding this… *THERE'S NOTHING THERE.*

[@the3fe245]

Why are you underrated

[@opaiescents]

oh this is SO good i'm astounded!!! also i love that you included the snark throw after gordon says "like... no land?"

[@BobafromPoland]

The scariest part is that he's actually correct

[@robins7730]

This scene is even more horrifying after playing Lobotomy Corporation

[@JJSnake]

The existential realization of their circumstances is conveyed really well... and it's funny too. gj.

[@jendouglas9781]

This is why I find going outside the map in video games scary, it's all just one massive void.

[@kasyndri]

that "damn" from bubby fucked me up good, well done

[@Gwestytears]

I always imagined the superlegs just growing super long and letting him walk over the mountains, I forgot he could just jump

[@DaGamingCore]

Ok but how did you get the skeleton and coomer's noclip fly so accurate in SFM, amazing job

[@aaa439101]

I think there's some animations ported to SFM i think. i have no idea i never owned SFM i do not have it i only have left 4 dead 2.

[@Lon3lyShadow]

Thanks to youtube algorithms for showing me this video

[@URnightmares162]

The background, you didn't had to do the effort of the scenes in the background but you did. Also the sliding Benrey at the end is the best one.

[@KaylaJoyGunn]

Wow the voice acting in this was so good. Along with everything else, the animation, the Easter eggs, the timing.. Good job man.

[@mr.krinkle8173]

it's a half-life series in vr. check it out.

i cant believe im just seeing this now! i love this so much, it dances the line between drama and comedy just as well as the source material. i love how expressive you managed to get these models. i love the short first person cut, too.

i have a question! how did you import all of the original half life 1 maps into sfm i really want to do that now

I imported half life source assets into sfm. There are guides for that. You need to recompile the maps in sfm's hammer. The maps will most likely have missing textures in hammer, but it will look fine in sfm when opened
