[JakeGordonTV]

Thanks soooo much! I'm trying to get into gmod machinimas and this really helped. Just two questions. How do you do the wheel+Camera? and where is the NPC camera?

[gordonfreemannr2]

@JakeGordonTV The "wheel+camera" is just a camera welded onto a wheel so when you spin it the camera orbits around it. And the NPC camera should be available for download at garrysmod(dot)org

[TheAtomicGlow]

[gordonfreemannr2]

[WalkerSoilder]

thanks

[EliteProducti0n]

By the way. How do you disabel the health meter and ammunition meter?

[gordonfreemannr2]

In the console, type cl_drawhud 0

;)

[haVoksRP]

cl_drawhud 0 and 1 to put it back but sv cheats has to be on turn on sv_cheats 1 is to turn on 0 for off

[EliteProducti0n]

Hey I need some help.

What movie and editor program should i use?

[gordonfreemannr2]

Hi! Well I used Adobe after effects cs3 for this video. But since it's pretty hard to get, I don't know what else you should use. Search the internet and you should find some freeware or something. Sorry that's all I can do.

[haVoksRP]

sony vegas watch my tutorials

[vegard125]

nothing type record "tutorial" and then it gets on the camera,then type stop in console to stop it, and cl_drawhud 0 to dont show hp and ammo stuff

[ElmosDeathTime]

you could just get catmul cameras but that would be cheating XD

[Kheperan]

how do i attach a camera on the npc?

[gir184]

NPC camera

:P download it

[Kheperan]

i found that out a long time ago thnx though

[Matasume]

Thank You Dude, you have been in much help for me :) <3

[gordonfreemannr2]

hey no problem ;)

[Matasume]

Oh, thank you.

I tought you are spawning a guy, and move hes feet every frame or something like that.

Thank you for the help.

But, how can i make hes face like, Open and close.. or, My mouth open and close why i have a camera?

[gordonfreemannr2]

well there are 2 ways to do this.

1. (This way is the easiest if the character is standing still) You place out a camera (optional but will give you the same point of view through the frames). Then you use your ''face poser'' tool. you find it by holding down Q. Then you change your characters (ONLY WORKS ON RAGDOLLS!) face expression. Then you activate your camera and take a screenshot. Now change his face again and go back into the camera. Repeat until satisfied.

[gordonfreemannr2]

2. (This one is far more advanced but will give a more pro look). You use the faceposer PROGRAM in the source sdk. If you do not know how to use that check out Katana314 here on youtube (just copy the name and paste it in the search bar). He's got some gr8 tutorials about Faceposing with faceposer in source sdk. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions ;)

[Matasume]

One thing i wanna know.

Im gonna make a machinima, but how can i make my man run etc? and record him like that? i mean, make him sit on a chair, and make him move hes head etc, while recording, without showing the cursor, and removing the health thingy. If you made a tutorial abotu that, it would be helpfull

[gordonfreemannr2]

so you just want to know how to remove the health thing and the cursor? In console type cl_drawhud to remove the hud (health) and crosshair 0 to remove the crosshair ( atleast I think it was crosshair 0. If not look around ). I hope that helped. feel free to reply more questions. ps. I didn't really get this part:

''but how can i make my man run etc?''.. I mean, you just place out a camera and use yourself as the man running. Or ask a friend to act.

[ReacticFlyer]
