A True True Friend [Part 2 - SFM/MLP Comparison]

_______Copied from original video description_______

It's finally here! "A True,True Friend" taken from the season 3 finale, re-created entirely in Source FIlmmaker. This time it's a lot more literal compared to "Smile! Smile! Smile!"

We started working on this a short while after I put my first Pony video out which was re-creating the Smile song.

At the time, this was the most requested song to do next. I really didn't plan to do another one because of the time and effort needed, but then I got a message from Discopears (Lucas Sabatka) offering to create more of the buildings in a similar style to Sugar Cube Corner if I ever wanted to create another such video. Of course I had to accept and work eventually began. Turns out he did a lot more work than I could have ever imagined and created nearly every single building and prop seen in the cartoon during this song.

So... an absolutely huge thanks to Lucas for sticking through to the end. Without his work this wouldn't have happened AND you guys probably wouldn't have all of these AWESOME and free to use scene building props to use in your own creations! Give the following page a visit, give it a read (particularly the About Me section!), leave a comment and a thanks for his hard work!

to tears, just to tears, Lord, how long ago it was five six years ago, the last time I saw it Such nostalgia, the author has great respect

[pegasister]

I's amazing how accurate things like this are, with only a few changes.

[Warhorse]

Perfect. Everything to me seemed very spot on. I loved how you incorporated the 2D squirrel and mouse into the 3D environment lol, I got a kick out of that. Awesome work man!

[lulashlyn]

You really worked down to the details you even got all the right ponies in the background good job

This is literally the best 3d animation on my little pony i have ever seen 😀

[SweetnessSucker]

God I freaking love this, you did so amazing! I want to rewatch the whole series again because of you!

[WretchedAutomaton]

I did not think about this until now and I don't know why I haven't noticed, but I probably now know exactly why you made the comparison video yourself :^)

[gamergachakitten]

Bro this song is so nostalgic for me 😭😭😭❤❤❤

[twifightsparkill]

I just sort of watch this thing over and over, slack jawed, ogling all the little nuances and details you were able to capture from the original.

Then I smile. Wide. Because it's awesome.

[Tall_Order]

This is amazing. It has the correct background ponies and everything. :)

[sanderb-t]
