Grizzly Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hmmm, well, I can't say I'd like to request, seeing as I'm an SFMer myself and would rather practice than get someone else to do it for me, but I can give some tips. 1) Lighting: There are usually 3 different lights to a scene from my experience. I have no idea of their names so I'm gonna make them up. -The overlight: A volumetric light that mostly covers the whole screen, used to set the mood. Example: Clicky The purple light gives the image a mysterious mood. -The outline: A normal white light that is positioned somewhere between the back and side of the character. This is used to separate the character from the background, which can also be done using focal distance/aperture, but I'll get to that later. -The balance light: This is used in correlation with the outline, in that it makes sure there isn't too steep of a gradient between the outline and the rest of the character. 2) Focal Distance/Aperture: This is basically a blur for the background. What you want to do is create an animation set for your camera, done by right clicking in the animation set editor and clicking create animation set for existing elements, then clicking camera1. Then, click on it in the animation set editor and move the focal distance slider until it is inside the main focus of the picture, which is probably a character. Then adjust the aperture to wherever you want it. The more aperture, the more of a blur it is. Note that if there is more than one focus and they are different distances from the camera, it is wise to not use this. I can't think of any others at the moment, but these should help improve the overall outcome to your posters if you do it right ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt know about the "overlight", seems pretty cool! Im going to use 1) in the future, and I already knew about 2), but I've set aperture to 1/4 of the slider. Maybe its not enough?

(in the first request) Well, it's definitely there, but it's also slightly unnoticeable. In fact, I almost always shove it up to max, unless I want to be able to see something in the background but still use aperture as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Antique~ Doorhinge Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There you go! I sadly didnt figure out how to add killstreak sheens. If anyone knows how to add sheens, please tell me! This is a pretty detailed and straightforward guide for killstreaks. Be sure to remove the "remap control point to vector" for all the particle's children too or the color won't be accurate. Good luck and great work! :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Adding sheens involves editing the weapon files, and not only is extremely time consuming, but also very advanced, hence why you don't see many in SFMs. Hell, even I can't wrap my head around it, so I just stick to killstreakers instead. If you need to know about them, just add me or message me on the forums, although some are pretty weird with a purple light at the bottom, which no one has found a fix for yet.
