completed tutorial

After 9 years in development, hopefully it was worth the wait.

To everyone complaining about the length of the video, Note that the tutorials were made to teach you how to use the software and therefore it took longer to make this than it would've normally taken as he had to explain a lot and had to go through a bunch of things to show how stuff works. Also, Animation takes a long time.

Scouts voice in the first "Good job, Buddy!"

ITS THAT EASY?!?
^Downloads SFM^  ^Makes crap^

[tannedbatman]

at the point of the pyro there is a red scout which runs past.

Cool, so Valve did a tutorial for aspiring new editors to animate using Source Filmmaker. Turns out I watched the finished product first, but as an example of a simple scene being made is really cool. This is certainly quality that would be expected from Valve, but the potential to do something like this is now in the power of users.

When I finished mine I manged to have the soldier kill one of the scouts. c:

Remember that scene in The Simpsons when Homer's looking at the picture of the completed BBQ... Then he looks at his own BBQ...

'WHY DON'T YOU LOOK LIKE THIS.'

The fact that just 7 seconds are actually 11 long stages is kinda terrifying

Keep in mind along the way he was giving us a tutorial of everything he did so we could do it to, and showed off some very helpful tips when using the program. With a lot of practice you can get a lot faster, but in the long run animation is a very tedious process.

Pro-tip: You can change what side (RED or BLU) a model is on by right-clicking them in the Animation Set Editor and changing their skin ;)

[gogogregor]

should bring out some tutorials for the people who specifically want to make posters, it would be useful for those who need some tips... There are some things I've run into in SFM which weren't answered which is a shame..

In the shot where pyro is, the scout is red! It was blue in the begining

[Pandaxtor]

It has the feel of Adobe and Maya in one software. Brilliant!

[MOOMOOMOO]

this is so awesome, i cant wait to get my hands on it!

[Cecedilhaep]

i love the random shot of pyro for no reason

[sofiarae]

Did he say "dismiss" or "miss, miss"?

[TheKirby]

Yup, You better cherish that clip (if you made one) because that shit is your symbol of "I can follow these directions!" and therefore can go on to become more fluent with the tools of the trade.

Besides the scout turning red, in the same scene, you can see the pyro floating

All this training was for 7 seconds, it's up to us to turn it into a full movie.
