I figured it would be good to have a thread exclusively for posters in OSFM.

Please tag anything that could be considered NSFW.

Since the current Steam Community doesn't allow image tagging, just post the direct link below. Here's some of my older posters to start it off:

The Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library[www.sound-ideas.com] is a great library for cartoony sounds, if you're willing to pay the amount for it.

You'll need: the cloaking scripts[dl.dropbox.com] (I'm not sure who the originals were made by, but the fix was made by Doc_Ock_Rokc)

Warning: This only works on the TF2 Models.

Step 1: Load up your, two, desired TF2 Models. Make sure they line up with each other.

Step 2: Apply the setup_cloaking script, along with either the setup_cloaking_blue, or setup_cloaking_red (depends on the skin you've chosen)

Step 3: Open the cloak tab in your animation set and fully cloak the head of one of your models, and the body of the other.

Step 4: If you're going to use IK rigs, add the biped_simple rig now. If you're going to use FK simply lock the "body" section of the model of which you are using their body, to to the body section of the model of which you are using their head. Apply the "Playhead" procedural to the locked bones. The same applies if you are using IK rigs, with the exception of the fact you are locking the "RigBody" sections to each other.

Step 5: If you completed step 4 correctly, when you move the bones of the model of which you are using their body, the other models head should correspond with its movements.

The final result should look something like this.[puu.sh]

This method isn't perfect. The face must be posed using the animation-set of the original head model, and shadows don't work correctly, but it's easier than creating separate models. I hope that this tutorial helped you.

Try verifying your game cache, if you haven't already.

The HL2 Civilians models are FAC, not HWM, because of this their facial animations are limited. However, by showing hidden controls you can get more than the smile/blink..etc...

There was a small update today, and I believe it fixed the problem. It did for me at least.

The trailers seems interesting; despite some of he wonky animations and camera work. Although I felt it was missing dialogue. Mixing both SFM & Garry's Mod is pretty risky though; and 2 hours long? The project seems intriguing though and i'd like to see more of it. :)

I'd love to be a part of this. :)

Many tutorials already exist for adding HDR to maps. Here's a good one by Jimer Lins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qWKo0Fd6Oc
