The rare instance that GMod trumps SFM.

Turns out chaos is better on GMod...which...if you ever have gone on a srs bsns roleplay server should have come natural.

*Shudder* Oh all those little babies...

I have to agree. I guess Gmod is better for insanity, while SFM is better for the more "serious" stuff.

It just feels weird to hear the Gmod sounds coming from relatively smooth animations.

There's an easy way to do Source Filmmaker like Garry's Mod. Just don't use the side bars that allow the animations to be smooth. It can't do that 'Throwing them with the physics gun' effect of Gmod, though.

This is like watching someone reinterpret a Picasso by using realistic and anatomaically-correct characters and painting. It might look more real, but it just doesn't have the same quirky charm that made it so great in the first place.

That's right, I just compared a GMod video to a classic work of art. Deal with it.

-Someone posts something witty
-Everyone else tries to say something witty

Indeed I did good sir. I thought it'd be appropriate that I reposted in this repost the best comment from the original post thus reinforcing the vicious cycle of repost.
Even though the comment looks exactly the same, because I'm posting it in the new comment maker it is now new again.
To be honest I thought would have picked up on it straight away.

Even so, credit should go where credit is due, and I believe I am credited towards stating the existence of such a cycle, thus a callback to the original post at the very least would be more sufficient to starting a cycle of the vicious cycle of Halolz. *Ahem*

I'm flattered that you remembered my comment, but with all due respect, gentlemen do not plagiarize.

I apologize good sir a hyperlink to original comment would have been appropriate. In my attempt at irony I not have taken the most 'respectful' course of action. Please do not mistake my comment as an attempt to copy yours but merely an attempt to highlight the vicious cycle of halolz reposting.

As StompyChar already said, chaotic videos are better with Gmod.
So Team Fabulous would be very...lackluster methinks with SFM.

Now I see the difference between GMod and SFM.

GMod is for something ridiculous and chaotic.
SFM is for something that looks professional and smooth.

So there are pros and cons on both sides and proving SFM cannot replace GMod in every way.

It's a damn good effort, but we know by now that adding realism doesn't make everything better.

You're using a frame from the wrong scene. The scene you intended to use is the one with him in a black suit and tie.

This scene is the one that says "Badass Motherfucker" on it.

VyseRogueKing 103p · 660 weeks ago

Doc which would you rather do?

A) Animate 4 1/2 minutes entirely by hand? or

B) Animate 4 1/2 minutes using something substantial to work off of.

It should be noted that B) took 130 hours (and creator was still unhappy with it but had to release it) while A) will take an indefinite amount of time reaching insane levels of dedication just to match 130 hours with mo cap. Don't hate someone for the tools they use when it comes out much cleaner. The whole point of the video wasn't really the animation anyway. It was more of the joke using the animation as a medium.

Another thing, my school seems to say this a lot but here it is "If Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, or even Van Gogh had access to our tools that we use today. Odds are they would use them." May or may not be true but I could honestly see Leonardo sitting at a computer working on his stuff, even if that might look a little funny. XP

I don't care what you all say. As sure as that's honest butter, there's no way GMod could be better than Source Film Maker for making a video.
