Potato is yum

At this point I’m going to have to make this a weekly thing because this software is actually making me so mad that I might end up writing a whole hate post every week just for source film maker. So basically I started doing my project yet again and as expected I get a memory crash and have to figure out a way to shorten the recorded segment which I end up managing to do. Once I record the shortened segment I go playback and realize a bunch of textures are missing. Well, alright.

So, I exit the program and try to reload the save since that’s how I almost always fix the textures and then it memory crashes yet again for a second time. Whew okay this is still within acceptable levels of jank. It is SFM. I rerecord the segment I want and start to playback and for some reason one of the bones is frozen. The lighting is all doubled. The sounds are screwed up? Okay. That’s weird. So what did I do now. Well apparently I recorded using the wrong view model so the whole thing is just off.

That one is on me I guess. Still though, mildly aggravating. I redo my recording for the 3rd time and finally it all appears to be great. Time to export movie. Aaaaaaaand after like three minutes my computer blue screens. What. Why? Ah, something something drivers poop. Ugh. Okay an hour later after figuring out whatever that mess was I somehow managed to get a third of the scene I had planned finished. But now I need to record the other two thirds because I chopped it up to fit within the memory limit.

Ugh. Pain. Well, it’s not like any other software could do better. I guess you don’t need to make a good product if you just make the best product your consumers can access. I’m so screwed.
