.

It's been a while for me but this taught me the first time and I did get it working,

you still in drive? that got me confused most of the time.

let see if I can remember this.

1. Load the demo
2. Jump to time frame you want to the point you want smooth (using ticks)
3. click 'drive'
4. click 'smooth'
4. click 'reload'
5. Enter start and end tick (make start tick 100 tick before you want to smooth)
6. click 'select'
7. click 'show original' then 'pause' as quick as you can
8. Make same tick on both demo playback and demo smooth
9. By using left mouse button and movement keys position the first camera (for enhanced positioning lower playback percentage)
10. click 'make key'
11. forward both smooth and play back tick and make sure they are the same
12. position next camera and click 'make key'
13. repeat 11-12 until you are finished with camera placements
14. enter 10 in edge tick this then click 'edge'>'both'
15. click process 'spline angles' click text box then 'spline origina'l then 'smooth select angle' and 'smooth select orginal'
16. click 'save' then 'ok'
17. load filename_smooth
18. jump tick to start of smooth
19. click 'drive'
20. click 'smooth'
21. done 5-8
22. now position you self where you want the camera to look at ( camera is the green box)
23. ensure tick are the same and click 'make target'
24. move tick forward and make next look point
25. repeat until finished
25. enter in 'edge tick' 10 then 'edge'> 'both'
26. 'process'> 'look at points' then click text box then 'process'> 'look at spline points'
27. click 'save' and 'ok'
28. load filename_smooth_smooth jump to start of smooth and record

hope this helps. demo smooth in hl2dm is buggy so it not so straight forward as css. If demo does not smooth from the original try again.

I bet you didn't know I'm doing the ewR vid right now with footage of yours.


Mind blown

Yeah I knew you had avi's and I really did contemplate a way to get them from you, but I got enough grain to go around from my old dusty demos, I'm going to be set.

Right on hombre.
