gmod movie making tips
« on: January 07, 2012, 11:26:54 AM »
I'm working on a project in school about the Bay of Pigs invasion and I wanted to make a short video of it for about 2 mins. It's mostly gonna be about the beach landing. Does anyone have any tips of making the video like with npcs, weapons, stuff, etc.?

npc control is a pretty helpful tool for getting npcs to walk and if needed talk

Thanks, was trying to find this earlier.

I can record demos but if I try to do startmovie, it comes up as a black screen when I watch it.

Also, my fraps isn't working for some reason, I think it's not detecting gmod... :/

Oh well, back to old fashioned stop motion.

Or use source recorder - if it doesn't crash for you like it sometimes does for me / others - built in.
