At Valve:
"Hey guys, so we spent years making this high-end film maker, what shall we do with it?"
"Give it away for free, and while we are at it we are gonna make several videos about it."

Gotta love Valve.

[MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I don't understand how VALVe could let Bay Raitt and the former WETA guys go. They were among the best animators and computer effects experts.

NOW I FEEL LIKE A GOD JUST FOR TOUCHING THIS PROGRAM

[vibri_]

Only source can make games with great graphics and low-end requirements.

[captainbucket]

I'm really impresed how easily you created the Meet the Medic scene! In first view the scene looks so hard to make!

[TheGoodChapSFM]

Remember when valve were up to date with SFM? When they were actually good? Me too...

[norabellerose]

5 years later it still says its in beta. What happened?

[boomieboo]

Brilliant work thank you Valve! This will allow tons of frustrated filmmakers to finally make their filmmaking dreams a reality. I look forward to the time when more environments/character customizations/structures etc. become available so the creators never have to compromise on their original vision for their work.

[masterhack]

this has given birth to some insane videos

[SenorHugo]

I'm excited as hell about this program, I keep checking my e-mail for an invite. But from an animation standpoint, having everything available to you all in one program, not having to rig individual skeletons for animation, and constantly program in behaviors. This looks like a hell of a lot more fun than 3ds max.

[blanehale]

Although there may be terrible Five Nights at Freddy's sfm animations, there are great TF2 animations yes there's still those, unlike how many think there dead

[slerperlc]

I am a beginner using SFM. I mostly make Half Life animations, and overtime planning to make way bigger and better animations.


That is until I realized that making a 3 second animation look good could take 3 hours to make.

[zachvalenti]

This is the coolest thing.... I'm speechless right now.

[argglefarggle]

this is an amazing tool. the power it gives you as a player/ filmmaker is amazing, the 3d control is fantastic and it cuts and films and animates like a pro. not one to gush but... im totally gushing all over the place right now!

[GTAGAMER]

since now SFM is now about FNAF


Tf2 animation were amazing back then but now there's some good FNAF animators and shitty ones

[PrinceWesterburg]

"Blade up shots" - I've worked both as a cameraman on set, processing foley and as a CG 3D animator with some very experienced and well connected people and not once in 30 years have I heard that phrase.

[catisthebest]

this is the beginning of my SFM career. i will see you again in 1 year

[milespalmer]

man, don't you love constantly updated animation engines and games that work flawlessly?

[hrclayton]
