I've tried digging information out of people who are experienced in creating this stuff for a way to determine steam awards, but it seems like everyone has a different guesstimate on how long something like this would take/how difficult it is. So I'm rolling with an easy setup for this round.
Using whatever source engine software you deem necessary, craft a pony movie. Feel free to use any Garry's Mod models you want, as long as it includes the pony ones in some way.
THE RULES
1.) Due to the nature of Garry's mod, I'm assuming some explosions and pony pieces are inevitable, but try to keep the senseless gore and "cupcakes" crossovers to a minimum. 2.) No blatant sexual themes, keep it R rated at the maximum.
3.) The Great and Powerful Trixie still needs a model!
THE REQUIREMENTS
1.) Must be at least 50 seconds long not including the credits2.) Must include a pony model of some type.
3.) Must be uploaded to Youtube or some other Streaming spot (Don't send me download links!)
THE REWARDS
1.) I'll do a vote of all entries when the time comes. The top 2 will each receive 10 dollar steam games of your choice (I'm assuming you all have Steam if you are using source) 2.) Channel views/subscriptions duh!
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
All submissions should be sent to Sethisto@gmail.com, in this format:1.) Subject line of email: GARRYS MOD
2.) Body of email:All entries are due on August 21st at 11:59 PM (2 Weeks from now)
- Title of Video
- Youtube Link
If you have any questions, feel free to toss me an email!
If you need Garys Mod pony models, hit up this thread!

YOU SPELLED GARRY WRONG AHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteThis will be interesting. A Gary's mod pony movie. Should be fun to watch the entries.
ReplyDeletewoops :3
ReplyDeleteSounds like a challenge!
ReplyDelete*Shudders at cupcakes reference*
ReplyDeleteIf somepony did that... ugh, I would absolutely hate life.
2.) No blatant sexual themes, keep it R rated at the maximum.
ReplyDeleteI read that part as keep it R rated at a minimum....Whats wrong with me...
Oooh, this could be fun. Not my thing exactly, but I'm sure there are some Bronies out there who will have a lot of fun doing this. Make'em epic!
ReplyDeleteSeth... its 4:05 in the morning here... i cant get to sleep and i had an idea for a gmod video..... i fucking love you man.
ReplyDeleteAlso can it be Still images with voice acting?

"Hey Seth! Catch!" She tosses a hoof-written letter at the screen, but nothing happens. "Oh..."
ReplyDeleteSadly for me, I can't enter this contest at all because the earliest I can get myself a good laptop to use Gmod on is exactly one day after the deadline (my 18th birthday (mid-life crisis ahoy)) anyhoo, best of luck to everyone who enters. If you want some inspirations then I suggest looking up some famous Gmodders on youtube and watching a few of thier videos, I personally reccomend RubberFruit and Oulapplayer.
ReplyDelete3D ponies? not sure if i want...i love my Old School 2D
ReplyDeleteChallenge Accepted.. will start 2morrow.
ReplyDeleteIm so tempted to start a gmod server in honor of this event
ReplyDeleteSeth, I am dissapoint.
ReplyDeleteIt needs to be a PG-13 rating, Maximum.
LETS DO THIS!
ReplyDeleteI foresee some seriously crazy stuff from this contest.
ReplyDeleteTHIS ISN'T LABELED AS "NO FANFICTION"!!! I ALMOST DIDN'T GET TO SEE THIS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should add that, y'know
>10 dollar steam games
ReplyDeleteSure are generous, Seth.
Disclaimer:The above post was a joke.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I can't even compete in this one. -_-
ReplyDeleteI love gmod and am saddened by the lack of pony content. This will surely make some more pony mods and videos!
ReplyDelete50 seconds? damn. I don't think I've seen a gmod pony video thats over 50 seconds yet. Also 10 dollar steam cards? I think the raffles have better prizes. lol. just as someone to do commisions or something for the winners. Your Sethisto damnit. I'm sure artists would love to do that. throw your weight around dude
ReplyDeleteummm how do you get the mod to do this...
ReplyDeleteYou should totally put all of the best ones you can find into an idiots of Garrys mod esque video with a bunch of the pony vids combined into one video although that would be hard due to getting the rights from everybody but it would be awesome if it's possible And if the contributors don't mind
ReplyDeleteDERPY VS THIWLIGHT!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN BRONIES!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a test thing, I'll probably run a bigger one with better rewards in the future.
ReplyDeleteChallenge Accepted B|
ReplyDelete@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteGah! Seth, you just folded like a pack of cards! Don't do that!
Gee, I'm sincerely sorry you don't like the FREE prizes that Seth is GIVING AWAY FOR FREE. I'm sure that he would get better FREE PRIZES HE IS GIVING TO YOU if he wasn't so busy SPENDING HIS PRECIOUS TIME RUNNING A SPECIAL EVENT FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF YOU UNGRATEFUL LOUTS.
Some people's children, I tell ya...
Oh boy. I can't wait to try and get the game to properly render videos again. Hopefully it'll work this time.
ReplyDelete@sunburst
ReplyDeleteThere are various ways. Easiest way is to just record the stuff in FRAPs. Another way that won't cost you money or require third party programs is to record the stuff as a demo and convert the demos to videos, though it's a bit more complicated.
Read through this for more details:

Give me more work why dont you...
ReplyDeleteAww yeah! Finnaly, something I can participate in.
ReplyDeleteAre gifs okay? w/ gifs I presume you could do stuff similar to claymation.
ReplyDelete@HungrymaN Dude I'm doing Reskins of the current pony models.
ReplyDeleteIve done Velvet Calamity and butterscotchSundae
Some guys hexing them for me but he also did a bunch of BG ponies like carrot top Lyra Roseluck etc... i dont know if hes released them yet.
@D4SHTH3R4INB0W
ReplyDeleteLucky... I wish I was good at skinning. I can animate, but can't skin D:
Challenge Accepted :D
ReplyDeleteWell, considering some plans, I'll be lucky if Curing the Insomnia Part 2 gets done before the deadline.
ReplyDeleteCHALLENGE ACCEPTED
ReplyDeleteDERPY N' PYRO MAIL BUDDIES GOOOOOOOOOO
RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.NET
ReplyDeleteNever made a Gmod video though, will surely be fun though.
FINALLY Equestria Daily gets around to addressing Gmod.
ReplyDeleteafter this contest is over, we still need standard Gmod video posts like with PMV's, Music's, YTP's, etc.
@Danne2 all you need is youtube VTFedit and a decent editing program...
ReplyDelete@D4SHTH3R4INB0W
ReplyDeleteI mean, I know how to edit textures, I just suck at that kind of stuff. I have Gimp and everything I would need, it all comes down to how well I can do it.
:U I'm starting to wish I used Gmod a bit more.

This video over here is cool and funny:

@BluR
ReplyDeleteToo bad 69Starmix96 isn't a brony. Otherwise, he'd win in 10 seconds flat.
Woohoo! Definately competing in this one.
ReplyDeleteI'd consider trying my hand at this, were it not for the fact I know nothing about working with the Source engine.
ReplyDeleteOh man....i finally have a reason to make an epic video using the Pony models, rather than the random, pointless shit i always make. LOL
ReplyDeleteBeen playing Garry's mod for 3 years and heck I'll give a shot to make a vid! :)
ReplyDeleteMan, been too long since I've done GMod stuff... uhhh, quick completely unrelated question, anyone know of any downloadable muffin/cupcake models?

Does it have to be 50 secs only or could you go under that time?
ReplyDeleteRule #3 needs to GTFO. I hope they never make a Trixie model.
ReplyDelete"1.) Must be at least 50 seconds long not including the credits"
ReplyDeleteI'm not even a third done with mine and it's already 4 minutes long :\
@ShadowBX
ReplyDelete"at least 50 seconds long"
That means has to be 50 seconds or longer.
OH LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't follow fanfics so I don't know what's being written. My video is "My Little Pony Stargate is Magic" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2KZBXcEwPk) and I just discovered there's a fanfic "Stargate Equestria..." Ah well. From the plot description I read, it's 100% different, so I'm fine.
@Danne2 Not bad, it seemed to drag on/meander a bit but full marks tech wise.
ReplyDeleteAlso, yeah, what you've done has no resemblance to SGE aside from it involving a Stargate, so you're gold.
@SSGTPaingod
ReplyDeleteYeah, I spent a good while deciding if I should only use one of the 2 flying segments.
I tried having other things go on while the gate was dialing, but it just wouldn't work out, filming wise.
I'm debating make a series out of this though. I have a whole script for a second one written, but I'm not working on it right now. I'm speedrunning Portal in (20 minutes) on livestream :D
CONFOUND THESE PONY RAGDOLLS.
ReplyDeletethey drive me to drink! Seriously, they spaz out so much.
I'm looking forward to it... :D
ReplyDeleteYes, i am looking forward to these submissions
ReplyDeleteIm Ready for Contest! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0vR8hRqI8A
ReplyDeleteAaaaaand done. Finally. Damn those ragdolls are hard to handle, especially when under motion...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvtBxHSgxeg
I'm cooking something up, but I just can't make it long enough. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteSadly, since I have no enof time I donn tink I can kome up with mine. Well, I think it's more time to hone skills :D

ReplyDeleteno its spelled right i love garys mod i wish i had it i play it at my friends house i like to use the puls ray gun and disinagrat stuff or the hax tool i hope i get it for chrismas
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDelete... There... is NO amount of irony that could be condensed into this one post. If we were talking goldy, plutoniumy or tungsteny, but irony aint dense enough. Though you obviously are.
... I apologise, that was a low... like you IQ, DAMMIT BRAIN!
Argh! Wish i had found this earlier, i had already had an idea, but no reason to make it, or the time.
ReplyDeleteAn update to TF2 made gmod unlaunchable :(
ReplyDeleteGarry said he's sent a fix to valve but steam isn't downloading it yet
Thank you Valve(for fucking it up yesterday night with that Source update) and Garry(for fixing Valve's fuck up... but fucking up the ragdolls in the process), you couldn't pick a better moment to fuck up GMod.
ReplyDelete>:( half way thought making my video and suddenly gmod decides to go poo brains. i'll never finish the video now :'( i bet garry found out about this contest and decided to fake gmod breaking just to mess with us. i mean i don't even have tf2 (laptop too slow to play so i deleted it) and mine still broke! im getting suspicious now.
ReplyDelete(same anonymous that posted at 8:13 that didn't have tf2.) he sent out the new, NEW patch to valve to fix everything... supposedly maybe if i can get it early enough i may possibly have enough time to make my video... i hope...
ReplyDeleteGood luck, mate. What actually broke in GMod besides it not starting (saw that happen last night)
ReplyDeleteGod damnit these ponies models are so hard to work with ¬¬ but i shall make a good video!
ReplyDeleteI dont even-
