The animation for this breaks upon reloading a session. It works fine on spawn, but as soon as you reload the session the animation is broken and wont work.

So cute. <3

can i port his gmod port to sfm?

sure

can i port this to gmod?

This model without fail will break your session if your not careful, Scaling it in any manner causes your session to be unstable and sometimes just having it in your session sometimes will just straight up break it. Shame as its the best water model out there. :/

IDK

@zerrek the dog

Look at the sequences for it, you'll find it there.

You say import the animation, is there an animation available or is it something you have to make yourself?

mate, The water sometimes disappears at some camera angles or when i come close to it. Whats up with that?

cheers

yeah, just stretch the curve out for the vertexanim bone

is there a way to slow down the animation?

It kept crashing the sfm application

thank you for this :)

more animation means more data per vertex; one new frame of animation is equal to essentially the position of every single vertex on the model. The size and constraints add up fast

Maybe instead of making a perfect loop you could just extend the animation for like... a really long time.

back again with the oCEAN MAN-

hi there

so after a day of coming back into my file, the oceans don't appear to be moving. I tried reloading the sequence. The animation shows up, just nothing happens. In the console though, I am getting errors like this:

Error: Material "models/colum/ocean/ocean" : proxy "invis" not found!
No such variable "$yellow" for material "models/colum/ocean/ocean"

Error: Material "models/colum/ocean/ocean" : proxy "YellowLevel" unable to initialize!
No such variable "$yellow" for material "models/colum/ocean/ocean"

Error: Material "models/colum/ocean/ocean" : proxy "Multiply" unable to initialize!


would you happen to know the root cause of this?

Toon Water... why do I have to be reminded of that late Midway racing game, "L.A. Rush" I swear the ocean water here looked just like that

ah silly me thank you

you gotta animate it via sequence or manually via the vertex anim bone

doesnt appear to be playing, as in when I spawn it and start the timeline it doesnt move

yes, blender source tools. You can find it very easy via google (valve dev wiki)

When he says 'BST' I believe he is referring to Blender Source Tools...

Can you please explain what BST you used is?

pretty helpgul. good job.

causes sfm to ctd for me. unsure why

Ocean man! Take me by the hand!

@Ms. Fortune You read my mind

ocean man
take me by the hand
take me to the land

cool right when I was in the market for an ocean scene for an animation im makin. just in time, thanks

add scale control to roottransform, via right clicking the animationset and going to utilities

is there a way to make it bigger, its tiny

even with the brightest colors the ocean tone is way too dark, any way to fix this?

its so small

YES

Awesome work, I'll definitly be using this

THANK YOU!

decent

ABOUT TIME!

Very useful!

Jotaro?

very cool. might have to try add my own sims to sfm some time

O C E A N M A N

Dankie baie.

i was researching about car crashes with that method, this one is really useful! thanks!

Nice

WOAH! FINALLY A GOOD ONE! :D
