We know that the latest over all saxxy award winners are a group of several people who work together in areas of their own expertise such as: The model maker, map maker, animator.etc.

I'm interested in figuring out how people just group up with other people but hopefully without it having to come down to money but more like building up to a career with each other. Helping each other with SFM projects to put on their YouTube channels.

from my experience with the bip_simple it pretty much does that with any character model you just got to be careful how you position the elbows I guess. But I can't think of anyway that could be fixed.

So, you want people to make models for you in blender, in exchange for you teaching them SFM? Or do you want people to add only textures to your models, in exchange for you teaching them SFM? For a giant wall of text is sure doesn't say a whole lot.

Thanks for pointing that part out. To answer your question: It's more of I do most of the work on Blender and someone helps me with the gapes I struggle to fill, because some objects I have stenceled on but some objects I can't seam to work out how to texture paint, make something colourable, or shiney. Heck I had Pte Jack and Astute to help me fix last minute bugs with that safe dial I published on the workshop.

As for SFM animating profesionally to some degree is all I struggle with. I know how to: lock objects, re-adjust speed of animation, reverse animation manually, Editing the colour of particals aswell as copying them, improvising with making an object that you don't have, custom overlay and sounds the list goes on.

To sum it up, We help each other out with what we struggle with, unless we want to work on projects togeather both SFM &/or blender. I write a lot because I have a writer's habit with out realizing it.

I apologize in advance for giving a lot to read here but details are important to me also sorry if this thread is in the wrong sub forum\category. Here's the thing I know lots about source filmmaker and I'm fairly good at it. Here's a facebook link of a Friday the 13th game suggestion clip I made to give an example: https://www.facebook.com/dean.murphy.7161/videos/1021778197966731/?pnref=story

Bare in mind however when I made those clips I felt a little rushed so I'm a little better than that given enough time. In the video's description I left more links to other suggestions I made to the game that the creators of the game enjoyed. One other thing you could if you want contact me on facebook if you can, just don't send me a friend request on it. I’ve been given messages from people not on my friends list so I think it’s possible. Otherwise I would like to keep any contact on steam.

Getting back to the subject and like I said I know lots about SFM [Except anything to do with using the console and many more] however I lack too much knowledge about a 3D software called 'Blender' as all I'm good at is Making the model, UV mapping it, putting bones and shape keys in it and just about able to write the QC. The skills I struggle a bit with is: Giving a texture\material & possibly other skills I don't know how to address.

I'm not interested in learning everything about Blender just the process of making the model & porting it into Source filmmaker. The models that will be worked on will start as small and basic as 'clips' but will get complex as flamethrower and human models. [Some] of the models even when finished and are ready to submit to SFM workshop I have reasons that I want to delay their submission for a long while which I'll say why to whomever takes this offer.

The basis of this offer could either be temporary or permanent, if permanent it would be more of just working on each other's projects than so much as teaching. And If people want to, it could be a group of people help work with my projects in exchange for my knowledge of source filmmaker. When and if someone chooses to take up on this offer please tell me how you want the basis of it to work.

Over all agreement: There's no money involved with this offer just a simple scratch my back I'll scratch yours. Models I want to port in Source filmmaker I promise to credit them for their help with the model [Might want to let me know if you want to be credited].
Any questions about this offer go ahead and ask. I don’t know everything about SFM so I’d imagine people asking what I know, just if you’re going to ask about that address what your struggles are as detailed as you can. By taking up on this offer then you agree to everything I mentioned however if this is a tricky offer I’ll see what strings I can pull to make it fair between us, no guarantee. Thanks for reading.
