Source Film Maker DoF test

[epicpieho]

@TheSwina23 use virtualdub and the rendering page on source film maker. That should clear the confusion

[snipperbes]

The migration of the Scouts to the Great Dispenser Fields. Or something.

[TheSwinia23]

i got a problem.

when i render a video its make a avi or wav file but theres no video only sound. Any ideas?

[TheDKer]

@TheSwinia23 That's kinda wierd. I've only heard the opposite. My suggestion would be to render sound and video seperately. So first render AVI/TGA, i prefer TGA but i don't know why. Then render sound afterwards.

[TheSwinia23]

@TheDKer tga? but i would then glu a video from photos

[someoddball]

one question, when i go to download SFM it always downloads to limewire. o_O.

is that supposed to happen or am i just a noob.....uh... more of a noob? just wondering, because it keeps saying stuff like, "This may cause your computer to self-destruct"....ok not like that, but you know.

[TheDKer]

@someoddball It's probably because you've set torrents to open in Limewire by default. Just open it with uTorrent instead.

[TVFORMEATUTUBE]

One more question if i were to use that code and it was burry would i render it without dof settings?

[TheDKer]

@TVFORMEATUTUBE You mean blurry right? It's because the thing you wanna film have to be in focus. SFM simulates a real camera, so if it's not in focus, it's blurry.

To get it in focus, select the engine preview window, hold "F", and move your mouse forwards and backwards.

If the thing you're trying to film is moving, you have a problem using that method though, so if you wanna make the focal point follow your target, you'll have to use the animation set editor, but just learn the basics first.

[TVFORMEATUTUBE]

O THANK YOU SO MUCH I SUBBED :D!

[TheDKer]

@TVFORMEATUTUBE No problem, and thanks!

[TVFORMEATUTUBE]

How Did you get DOF so good when i set mine to the fullest it doesnt show any blur! PLZ REPLY

[TheDKer]

@TVFORMEATUTUBE Sorry, forgot your comment :)

The most simple way to do it is to write r_sfmfulcrumdof 1 into the console. You might have to enable sv_cheats but i don't know.

Another more advanced way where you can control the amount of DoF is through the animation set editor, but for starters, just use r_sfmfulcrumdof 1

Would have been funny if the sniper took out the last scout

[unknownmercenaries]

When i render my SFM videos, the sound is messed up. I can hear the world noises clearly but the Guns, What the charectors say, building sounds, health kits beeing used. Its all messed up. is there a fix for this?

[papermarioTTYD12345]

@unknownmercenaries

stop posting that on every video

ive been seeing it everywhere

[unknownmercenaries]

@papermarioTTYD12345 well i was lost at the time, and i wanted help, I got it figured out because that was posted a month ago. Check out the channel: Neilb96

My new account :D

[Maxaxle]

Oooohhh, nice!

[EdgeHeadFUHaters]

This is the result of when a Scout hear's "Building a Dispenser!"

[wyattcon11]

I wish i had a sentry...

[simahasas]

soooo much scout! and i hate scouts...

[naixoa]

Sorry t'bother you again DK, but do you know how to remove guns from view mid-taunt? For example you record a medic taunting with the medigun equipped, the gun stays floating in mid-air whilst you watch it back. How on earth do you get rid of it? :O

Feel free to ignore!

[TheDKer]

@naixoa When you push that red button to start recording and that window pops up, untick "Record World".

[naixoa]

@TheDKer I'll try that, thanks very much again :D keep up the good work!

[naixoa]

Noice!

If anyone can help: Whenever I try to export something in SFM it just doesn't do anything at all D: no idea why and can't find any answers!

[TheDKer]

@naixoa Be sure to stretch that blue thing in the timeline to the beginning. That fixes it for me, and you can't render for more than 59,9999 seconds.

If you don't understand i have a picture to illustrate, but i can't send you PM's.

[naixoa]

@TheDKer Holy crap mate you are a genius! Thanks so much, it works!

+1million cool points to you! Hehe :D

[nlMightyMe]

scouts appear from outta nowhere

[caboose6789]

i love dof :D

[240Gromit]

Ze camera has bad eye-sight

[MuldoonVersusRaptors]

That sentry is gonna be really confused.

[Tonyant26]

ZERGL-- I mean SCOUT RUSH!

[Wubblemeister]

omgz rush

[meatsticks367]

how do you get it to not skip after you're done exporting it?

[TheDKer]

@meatsticks367 what

[meatsticks367]

well, whenever i export it, the video lags, and there is a break in sound, you know what I mean....

[CounterNerd]

Hey,just wondering,when i make my videos, a big part of the video just disappears (possibly when i export it) Why is this?

[TheDKer]

@CounterNerd Does the end cut-off, is it the beginning, or is it in the middle of it?

[CounterNerd]

end,always the end,like for instance,the only video i have uploaded right now,has been cut off like from the half to the end,so it's really much longer than 15 seconds.

[TheDKer]

@CounterNerd Well ofc, be sure that you've actually set it to render all you want in the Export menu. Do you export as TGA's or an AVI file?

[CounterNerd]

AVI

oh and btw,what is 'start time' and 'end time'?

[TheDKer]

Try exporting as TGA instead and then put the files together with VirtualDub afterwards. The start and endtime is what you set it to.

[CounterNerd]

Roger that,thank you good sir ;) i already got VirtualDub downloaded luckily :D

[CounterNerd]

@TheDKer

Just tried it,wounded up with about 100 files,how do i put 'em together? if you'd like to help me

[TheDKer]

@CounterNerd Drag the first picture into VirtualDub, or open the picture using VirtualDub, and it'll import all the pictures. Then go to file and save as AVI for best quality.

[afnoporo21]

Wish more people knew this 3 word console command... Their videos would look so much nicer.

[TheDKer]

@afnoporo21 This is not a console command

[afnoporo21]

Feild Of View.

Type in console.

FOV #

Vwalla.

[GustavoMorph22]

@afnoporo21 It's no Field of View, It's Depth of Field.

Voilá.

[afnoporo21]

I have been DEFEATED!!!!!!!!!
