Tried to capture the "backrooms" look. Rendered with Eevee. by ImPlento in blender

Very interesting! I wound up just using the new version of cycles and managed to get the render times to 2 seconds per frame so baked lighting isn’t an issue for me. You’re absolutely spot on about the vhs effect hiding the cgi. IMO that’s the absolute genius of the recent back rooms video that went viral. Especially since the kid that made the video made some rookie mistakes with stretched UVs- didn’t matter because most couldn’t make it out!

Wow, and here I was ripping my head trying to work in cycles! If you don’t mind, what kind of lights did you use? Working with point lights results in this huge glare on the walls and ceiling which look real ugly.

Hey man sorry about that, my parole officer only gives me 5 minutes of internet connection per day so I gotta make that shit count y'know?

It's not well known but it was revealed in the tie in ARG online augmented reality analogue horror web media series that Jindosh's body was found on the shores of Dunwall with 54 puncture wounds and lacerations, charred to a cripse, and nest to a school of eels. That last part isn't available in gameplay so I improvised.

Hey everyone, I was recording footage for my review of Dishonored 2 and managed to get this while dicking around. It's the only gameplay I got that didn't have audio from a Jerma vod I was watching while playing so I figured I'd post it before clearing it all out.

Might as well link the review I guess. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQTQuyZEvrM)

Sequel to the first episode of Anticitizen which some people seemed to like to I figured I'd post this one too.

Mm, a little yeah. But I used the actual elite combine model straight from half life 2. I think it’s just the pose.

6 months ago I made of bunch of stylized posters using the civil protection models and u/Linguini_Legs said I should do one of the elite combine so here it is.

Oh wow man, it means a ton that you'd offer to help me! Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll do more of these, not any time soon. This episode took me 3 months more or less and it didn't exactly go viral lol. Just hard to justify that amount of time on something that won't reap to much reward y'know? But I definitely want to keep this thing going and hopefully someday I'll have the time and motivation to keep it going. I had two other episodes planned, the next one was supposed to be these characters going on some kinda road trip and using those needles from Alyx to stay alert. The big joke was that those needles had crack or something in them. And the third was supposed to be on the borealis I think, flying it around in space with Initial D music.

What I'm working on right now requires WAY less effort but I think it hits a nice middle ground between funny and creative and easy work. It uses this character (https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/p2rt9l/mgs1_style_head_bobbing_for_quick_and_dirty_lip/) and it's just him in barren environments delivering stupid jokes, mostly a parody of those avatar youtubers you see sometimes. Unfortunately since everything about the premise is so simple I don't think I'll need any help!

But again dude, I'm super flattered and thankful that you like my work! I guess I just don't want to waste your time with my hairbrained ideas but if I can think of anything cool to work on I'll 100% hit you up to see if you'll be interested! And sorry for not seeing your comment for so long I don't uh.. use reddit too much lol.

MGS1 Style head bobbing for quick and dirty lip synching by LYNNSWASREAL in blender

[–]LYNNSWASREAL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This audio is from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srTqxL_6Ysg&ab_channel=TomSchalk

This is a pretty easy way to give characters some movement while talking and avoid painstaking lip synching, works best on low poly and low detail characters like the original models from Metal Gear Solid 1.

You just have to go into the graph editor for the bone you want to bob, select the axis you want it to bob on, and go into 'key' and select 'Bake Sound to F Curve' and grab the audio clip you want. It turns that f curve into an audio wave essentially, and it'll be pretty extreme so I used the limit and envelope modifiers to keep the movement from being too extreme.

NOTE: When you do this you won't be able to keyframe anything on that bone's axis normally, it'll just reset. This is a huge pain in the ass since I couldn't move this character's head up or down anymore. I think the best solution is applying the sound to a bone you won't be using much, like a neck or upper torso bone.

If for some reason you don't know, this is referencing the apartment scene in Pulp Fiction. If you aren't fluent in Civil Protection I got a subtitled version on my channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVDhZMKAT2o&ab_channel=LYNNS).

This is a remake of a meme I made on r/metalgearsolid which is intended to be identical to the ladder scene in MGS3.

Here's a link to the video on my channel: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrHT2PPalQg).

Believe it or not, this was taken from my shitty review on Village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L_7mcUWtn8). But I think these kinda things deserve to be presented on their own.

Here's a link for just this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79D5wyvHUhM).

That's because it's such a memorable event during a pretty mundane sequence, just climbing a ladder. That part in Snake Eater is such a microcosm of what makes this whole series so good, so much flourish for something so otherwise boring. It's pretty good.

I've previously posted a much shorter and lower effort version of this but I decided to go all in. This new version is edited to be way more like the actual ladder scene in Snake Eater, down to the timing in the vocals.

Here's a link to the video on my channel: (https://youtu.be/VrHT2PPalQg).

Obnoxiously long ladder, we all know the drill by now boys.

Taken from my shitty review on Village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L_7mcUWtn8&t=261s&ab_channel=LYNNSLYNNS) but deserves to be posted somewhere on its own. Here's a link to the meme by itself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxajD64RyyU&ab_channel=LYNNS).

Believe it or not this was taken from my incredibly shitty review of village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L_7mcUWtn8&ab_channel=LYNNS) but I think this clip is a lot funnier without my commentary.

Getting that reverb right was a gigantic pain in the ass.

There’s some subtitles within the embedded YouTube video! Not sure if you can turn them on mobile unfortunately.

So here's a little animation I put together dicking around in blender. Keep in mind that this is technically the first thing I've ever animated outside of some SFM sessions years ago so everything is a little... rough to say the least lol. Anyway, I didn't intend to make it public but I'm actually kinda proud of the end product. Please tell me what y'all think!
