Doing gmod animations

[kratijun]

Hey guys. So i need your help and motivation. I love gmod animations and stop motion videos, and i really wanna do my own. But i dont know, my motivation goes away when i think about hard scenes like punching away a door or something. How should i do that, that is too heavy to do. I dont really know. Can you guys give me some tips or motivation maybe? I really wanna learn it, but after 10 minutes of trying i've got angry and played something else.

ive never animated, id just look at stop motion videos
you move a character ever so slightly, take a screenshot, and move it more, do it again
but if you wanna do something like a door being punched down, id say use this:

and a playermodel of the ragdoll you want so it looks like idk
heavy is punching a door down to get his sandvich

oh yea, there are addons ahah, just didn't thought about it, like i got tired everytime something wont work out. i guess i will try it again tomorrow when i have more energy and motivation. i mean it doesn't have to be a "sfm-masterpiece" animation work. the style of kitty0706 inspires me very much tho. simple and funny

use the stop motion helper tool from the workshop
