Source Filmmaker Tip of the Day #76- using Killstreak Effect Particle Systems

[@MrMuselk]

Is it strange that I play your videos as background noise every night as I go to sleep... no? good. I dont even use SFM.

[@klashfire1293]

+Muselk haven't used SFM in a long while, still watch his vids and many other tutorials. but I think you've gone a bit overboard

[@Shijuu]

It's not strange.... It's amazing :3

[@-aaa-aaa]

+Muselk Amen.

[@facundoquaino1428]

+Muselk i knew it, you are insane!!!

[@meowtastic5382]

+Muselk its a musELK!

Source Filmmaker Tip of the Year

[@sfmcinematics]

One thing that might make particle placement easier is to grab the blue square in the middle of the helper and, while holding down shift, moving the particle over the place you want it go to. Holding down shift will automatically stick the transform or whatever bone you have selected to the surface of the model/wall/floor/whatever you want. For example, I would grab the blue square, hold down shift, and move the particle over the demo's eye. The bone will automatically be placed on the surface of his eye. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than moving one axis at a time. Glad to see you back, btw, sir!

[@JimerXLins]

Ya'll are far too kind, thank you! More videos coming. :)

[@meowtastic5382]

+Jimer Lins yayy! cant wait!

[@Metastudios]

I thought u were dead...

[@icyreknto2048]

How did u grab the effect? I can't seem to move mine :/

[@sacen3690]

You taught me how to use particle effects I luv u

[@MrMurrito]

More than a day? It's been a year man! Glad you're back.

[@halfblindcat]

Jimer, "Remap Control Point to Vector" is the way that TF2 regulates how are the particles emmited (how big, how transparent, etc) by the amount of kills you get with your killstreaks, I think. SFM in default strarts this particles in 0, so it appears like in-game when you have no kills (no effect). Oh, also, it's nice to see you back!

[@SimPiko]

+Xpanix just tested "killstreak_t7_lvl2" in particle editor, you can move 9th controlpoint in animationset between [0, 0, 0] and [1, 1, 1] to change particles color (so positioning that CP at [1, 0.5, 0] will give you orange, default position [0, 0, 0] isn't black, it's transparent)

[@lactatingcow6555]

I never lost hope in you coming back. I learned a lot from all your videos before and I always felt deep down you wouldn't leave for good on the note that it did end on :)

[@facundoquaino1428]

[@Caboozel]

Tip of the current day

[@meowtastic5382]

Is it possible to fit beards, such as the Cuban Bristle Crisis, to the face of a model so it doesn't clip through the face? i've had this issue for a wile now :(

[@IglooCrafter1]

I wish sfm could make it as easy as adding an unusual, guess were going back to the old days

[@RedZeee]

The Singularity effect can't be fixed by that unfortunetly... does anybody know how?

[@charlie_lee_rhee8866]

I think you would already know this, but the particle shows up in the viewport when you scroll out of the shot and back in again.

[@Baronpekugram]

i really like you talking voice :D

[@EternalRealm]

Can you do a tutorial on how to apply sheens onto a weapon? Thanks in advance :)

[@domenborstner6383]

Do u have to download these.killstreakers

[@kik8bg]

go to -00:01 or less time and then go to 00:00 or more to be fast

[@realzmt-productions4604]

Thank you I would have never figured out that the KS particle effects are in "class.pfc" rather than "killstreak.pfc" whoever made the decision to put them in "class.pfc" definately needs some discipline.

[@JadeInHeaven]

my particles folder is empty...

[@thefilmnour]

i missed greetings my friends so mach

[@klashfire1293]

Jimer, sorry, but you might have to start making your tutorials more advanced. Your previous and current audience has matured. we have watched your tutorials many times and learnt much more about SFM.

[@sak8266]

[@vuhai8262]

[@quazzap2815]

HE'S BACK!
