like i said it in the video only the default models have those bars unfortunately. it takes a profound amount of effort to make those features in models so most people that port them dont add those.
@AidanTES DO NOT use scroll wheel. that changes the lens and makes it look as if you're looking through a scope and stretches the character. id stick to 35-55 for lens'.
i have a fix. You probably have alot of sfm models. Just uninstall all the models and keep the main model you are going to use for the thumbnail. Now you shouldn't be able to see the error anymore.
ILLUSIONZ usually it takes about 30 minutes or so, but like anything else, the more time you spend on it the better it usually gets. Some of my best thumbnails on my channel took 2 or so hours.
Never had that issue. You might not be selecting the main folder where everything is kept. if you are i would recommend forum searching. since ive never had that issue i cannot help.
I am having a problem on the map it has a border so I can’t use the whole map just a cropped section, also when I zoom out my character I can only see a smudge of it because of the light.
WhosCali what happens if you get rid of that time line thing ( if yo didn't know what I was talking about i mean 2:11......) ya so what happens if you click that tiny little X under settings....cuz i pressed that and i don't have a time line any more and i've tried to uninstall it and reinstall it and i've got no result. P.S CAN YO REPLY ASAP.
I've never had that happen, but I would say go to the view tab at the top and see if there is a timeline option. There might also be a workspace reset option somewhere in the settings or view tab. Let me know if you've found a fix.
Hey man.You really helped me improve my channel.I just started and dont know much,but your video helped a lot.I can really see a difference in my thumbnails.Thumbs up :D
like i said it in the video only the default models have those bars unfortunately. it takes a profound amount of effort to make those features in models so most people that port them dont add those.
for me it wont zoom out instead the camera like moves backwards but it changes the depth or something like if try and move sideways my guy gets really stretched out plz help sorry if you dont understand thats kinda confusing but basically how do i zoom out cause im just holding down left mouse and using scroll wheel but there must be a different way nvm i figuredit out
But you didn’t show us how to use it... all you showed us was how to set it up and add light. Not how to zoom in/out or do anything to do with moving parts of the body?
I might, if I do it will be a week or two because of the other videos I have planned. I would recommend looking up photoshop tutorials in general or look up other speed arts. If they aren’t tutorials it’ll usually show the entire process because it’s a speed art. You’ll just have to make sure the video is slowed down to see because they won’t be covering it. That’ll also make it harder to learn because it will be visual not audible.
I do! There should be a little window in the bottom right corner near the view window & it’ll have “Intensity” & a bar you & lower or raise. If you can’t figure it out just let me know!
For the rendering & stuff it all just depends on how patient you are. The program shouldn’t be that hard to run. If you plan on running multiple programs & don’t want the program to have potential issues like crashing, I’d recommend upgrading or adding RAM!
@@onlyshiver when I switched from the light camera to the work camera it zoomed back in like it was at the start. When you did the same thing it stayed where it was. Anyways, I don't think it really matter because I can just zoom out again. I was only complaining because my mouse scroller thing is messed up.
1) my lighting in my models won’t work properly, ether it’s my model or it’s the program. 2) cannot edit the bodyparts 3) can’t do anything in this video 😐
You’re not in the correct editing mode. If your timeline is purple make sure you switch. Look at my screen during the speed art. Right above the top of the timeline on the top left, select the middle out of the 3 options.
make sure you open the right file & you didn’t click something off or on in the import model box. Also some models come with wireframe models to allow you to edit so don’t open those. You might have 2 Ghoul Trooper files & one might not be the model you want.
But what if we don’t have a computer? I’m not that wealthy so I can’t afford a computer. I just edit my clips on Share Factory on my PlayStation. Any tips on how to make a thumbnail on console? I don’t have any!!!
There is no way that I know of. I would recommend finding a computer from a library or friend and using that. Also, I sell thumbnails if you really want them but can't make them!
Hey Cali, nice video! Though, when i press Load Map, it says that i don't have any bsp. files and whenever i search a file up (whiteroom, black void, box), nothing pops up. I don't know how to download a bsp files as whenever I do, they don't come up in my maps. Please help dude!
I cant have the screen with all the things. I accedently deleted it all. How do I put it back on the normal way? I reinstalled it and it also do not work.
I can’t see the whole avatar. It only shows the knee up and the waist down. What did I do wrong? I also can’t zoom in and out. I can disable the lighting but I still can’t zoom in or out or move the character around.
if you used the scroll wheel you might have scrolled and made the lens distance too high or low. make sure you dont mess with that. also, you might be in a mode you cant edit in. make sure your timeline isnt purple. if it is make it green, you can see which timeline i have selected above the timeline in my video where the 3 symbols above the timeline are.

How do u delete the green screen like photoshop has magic wand
this was the first 3d tutorial i ever watched
it is way too light help
Then just edit it in photoshop to your liking
adjust the brightness in the tab next to where the light is located
@ 6:27 you have an option that i dont have which is the dot that you use to resize the character. How can i make that show up?
Right click on the character model in the layers/models menu & go to “Utilities” then “Add Scale Controls”
But you didn’t show us how to use it... all you showed us was how to set it up and add light. Not how to zoom in/out or do anything to do with moving parts of the body?
This wasn’t a posing tutorial. I’ll be doing one of those in the upcoming week or 2.
thanks but i find it hard to move the camera around and every time i hold left click down to move it, it just flashes black and stuff
alt left click helps, and alt middle mouse moves the camera left and right and up and down so you don't have to move it
