Source Filmmaker

Move over, Garry's Mod, we have a new tool for surreal and/or hilarious Source shorts.

This is also pretty good:

I love that one. The ending with the hats is far too perfect.

I'm waiting for my beta key just like how a kid waited for his letter from Hogwarts.

Same with me. I think they'll go for the high-spec applicants first though...

My main question is, can multiple people control game motion during a single record, or perhaps can the animator import a saved game session? It seems like it'd be useful for complex interactions.

Somehow I've managed to get into the beta, which surprises me seeing as I've never submitted anything to Steam workshop. That awes me. I need to put it to good use somehow.

Do something like this.

SFM imports a game much like Garry's Mod does, right? I wanted to see a Portal SFM video, but the closest I got was a demo of a TF 2 character rocket jumping the platforms room (with most of the textures unloaded).

It's not even that everybody's playing with Meet the Heavy, because there's a lot of non-MTH TF 2 vids.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That's where the community is, especially among Steam Workshop people.

Right. At the moment, the beta only imports TF 2, but once it's done it should import any source game.

Can you use models that you could use in G Mod (like the Do A models) yet?

It lets you import any custom model you want. Not sure how it works yet, as I've only watched a few of the tutorials, but the capability is definitely there.

I'd be interested to see what would happen in terms of importing models. Waxonator made a few YTP models while waiting and he just got his invite today. I'd be interested in seeing what would come of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if magnificent, wonderful things come of this.

Oh, it's already starting.

That is both magnificent and wonderful. I am thoroughly unsurprised.

Seems the RED Scout isn't the only person that can outsmart boolet...

A bunch of copies just went out this morning. Check your Steam library if you signed up, you might have a new copy.

Just got my copy. Going to have to consult videos first, as I have a limited idea about what to do with it...

It's more than that: the game went into open beta. Anyone with Steam can install it now.

It's almost finished installing.

With the release of the open beta, Valve has now included the source files of Meet the Engineer. Now that's what I call a fine piece of work.

Can someone help me with Source Filmmaker? The Blade Clip function's not working.

X GON' DELIVER TO YA!
