If you're into making Gmod movies (machinima), third person is your friend.

It allows for much more dynamic and interesting camera shots.

Show Off Your Style

Spent hours customizing your character's appearance?

Third person lets you admire your hard work and show off your unique style to other players.

Advanced Techniques

Once you've mastered the basic V key switch, consider diving deeper.

Some mods offer more advanced camera controls and even over-the-shoulder perspectives.

These can really enhance your gameplay.

Console Commands

Switch to third person to get a better overview of your creation.

Then, when it inevitably explodes, watch your ragdoll fly through the air in glorious third-person detail!
