I'm with ya on this one...
I have never been able to get a recompiled map to work properly in SFM. It always says HDR is not enabled, even though I recompiled them with HDR enabled (checkbox ticked).
I too have tried multiple versions of Hammer, and also like you, none of them seem to be able to compile the map with HDR, at least to SFM's 'satisfaction'.

You cannot find a glue bottle?
Or the glue itself?

Thanks!! I did a search for it earlier, but it turned up 0 results...

I've had this software for a couple of years now, I recently had to "redo" my pc due to a virus and now I cannot find this software!!
It's not in my software list and I can't find it anywhere on Steam.., where did it go?

I'm filming a real person in front of a green screen and then keying them into the map, or atleast that's the plan... lol.

Hi all,
I had an idea, but I'm not sure how to do it, of if it's even possible so I will just ask:
Can Hammer Editor be used to make virtual sets for green screen?
EX. I want to place a live actor in fron of a green screen and then chromakey the actor into a map made in Hammer Editor, is this possible?

What I get from the software used in the video suggests that any two cameras should work, the only thing limiting the whole thing that might affect it would be, as Original Daniel put it, the "cheapness" of the cameras. To be honest, the idea of using two cameras does make a lot of sense as it allows for a better three-dimensional representation of the actor with which to align to the model.
As to the expense, I have found nothing in the video editing/production field that is used today is cheap. I own a video editing service and use Adobe Premiere CS5 for alot of the editing work and I can vouch for that statement, the Adobe Suite was definitely not cheap.

OUCH!! lol

Ok, watched the video you linked, if I understand it right, I have to use two cameras, if that's right then I have a bit of a problem, I only have one camera that I can plug directly into my computer. Looks like this idea is null until I can get another camera from somewhere. Thanks anyway.

I was wondering about possibly using mocap for some of it, just wasn't sure how to go about it.

That's the same conclusion I have come to, just gonna have to knuckle down and learn how to animate the "old-fashioned" way. lol
Ahh well, it's a good time to learn something new and I am a firm believer that the day you stop learning is the day you stop living, so what the hell? Let's get crackin and learn something!! lol
