I just went through the first 3 tutorials on the YouTube channel and everything I see just amazes me more. The ability to cut through shots and add/change things on a whim is just amazing. Film editors would KILL for this kind of power.
Just gives such a great perspective on the range of things people can do with SFM. From emotional to hilarious with the same assets, all telling different stories.
I'm more excited for SFM right now than I am for any other upcoming video game. This is going to be so good.
So-far I made an ubered medic speaking Gabe s tf2 commentary, doing the vertical swim animation with a camera pan from his feet to his head. Not the kind of progress I was looking for but then again never messed with video editing or modeling/posing/etc.
@Shadowdare - Keep in mind that Source Filmmaker is still in beta. Waxinator himself haas stated that it took a decent amount of work to get that rigged up, and they've still for some improvements to make to imported custom models. Eyes down't work at all, for instance.
If I can ever get an invite, and they get custom models fully functioning, I would LOVE to record a normal TF2 match, and then rig it to have the pony models doing stuff in the background. Double points if i can actually make it look like the ponies themselves are playing the game.
July 10, 2012 - Valve, creator of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the open beta release of Source Filmmaker (SFM), for free, to everyone.
The SFM is a storytelling tool Valve developed inside the Source Engine to create all its animated short films, including those in the "Meet the Team" series of Team Fortress 2 shorts. The SFM condenses the production pipeline of an animation studio down onto a single gaming PC. To help the community get started, the SFM includes all assets from Team Fortress 2 along with assets from two of the "Meet the Team" short films.
To see the newest and top-rated work being done by the community in the SFM, please visit www.steamcommunity.com/sfm.
For more information and to download the SFM, please visit www.sourcefilmmaker.com
Nuts to that 'put shit on meet the heavy's head' shit everyone's doing - this guy is pumping out tons of stuff with SFM. Mostly just voice and facial posing and recreating scenes, but it's enjoyable.
Check out 'Danger, Hi Greg!' I suppose he must have used an earlier version of SFM
