+Ritzy Yeti You don't even know what happend, bay raitt was left valve, he was the one making these tutorials, he left along with the rest of the original animators at valve.
I am a bit jealous of this guy, I started with the graph editor and was using it for a year already. Only today I learned that the motion editor exists. That means no more movement hell for me! Yay!! ;D
As a self learner in animation and SFM watching this I feel like a savage being introduced to proper etiquette rules... Thanks a lot for this! Oh and the new version of SFM is also greatly appreciated! New additions help a lot with managing projects!
Awesome tutorial. Watched from start to end. And actually learned how to animate despite quitting for a while at the point of puppeteering. Valve is smart because they give the tools of creation to players.
When he adjusted the lightning and suchs at the end I couldnt see it at first, if you have the same problem just follow these steps 1. Press the Cogwheel just above the "Lenses" tab in the animator set editor 2. Select "Show Scene Hierarchy" and "Show Hidden Controls" That way you can get all the options that werent available from the beginning! Good luck :)
@@coffeelink943 Bassicly, Valve doesn't care for TF2 nor Source Filmmaker anymore, even sadder is that SFM is still in Beta (even to this day) and Valve never even bothered to finish it. Altought SFM is in a good enough state for making cinematic Films, so thats good. Note: Ik, ik, a Major Update is confirmed for TF2, but my Point is still clear. SFM has and still is abandond by Valve.
MC Spectral Chunk I don't believe he stopped animating, though. Valve wasn't the only thing he did. He even did the animations to Gollum in Lord of the Rings. I reaaally hope he uploads more videos about his new work. He has a twitter, I believe. He said something like he's making a game
This is supa fun. I made a lot of little tests, and it was interesting learning some new systems like the time selections that aren't in other 3d programs like blender.
These tutorials are getting better and better - and more helpful as well! :P Just one thing - did someone forget to put the 'Set' object(s) in the .dmx file? I'm not seeing it anywhere in the Animation Set Editor...
Sam I tried using the graph editor in SFM I made a ridiculous animation, with the halo master chief model. I was having difficulty co-ordinating the animation. ALso I have seen in YT videos animators just select and move body parts with ease. The only way I figured was moving body parts 1 at a time in the graph editor. Even then I struggled. Especially with things like "fingers" I recon I could be good with it, but I need help getting through the basics.
Well if you agree I could add you to skype and show you via screen share. I think that would be most conveniant. It will give you a idea of where im at to.
Sam I wouldn't mind team viewer which ever is best. Anytime my friend no rush. I should be thanking you for being willing to take the time out to help me. Subscribe my Channel and send me a message with your Skype ID bro. Thanks.
I would love to see episode 13.4 of this series, I have learned so much from this tutorial series. Or maybe a remaster of the series including all of the updates since the series was released? The lesson for scripts was also never included. Please don't let it seem like I am complaining, I think SFM might be one of the best pieces of software I have ever worked with and I have only started using it less than a week ago. If I could make one request though? A grease pen tool in the software so I don't need to use dry erase on my computer screen would be amazing! I tried epic pen and I didn't like it
This is so good I love this software, I haven't even downloaded it yet but I used to watch lots of SFM videos when I was young, can't wait to make my own! Ima post something on my youtube channel.
Modding Nation actually I believe all the videos on sfm by valve might help you make that and not to mention that there are other users that post tutorials on specific items
Would you be so kind as to let us know how you make an undead spy, for example, for whenever I enter the "spy_zombie" file, it just glitches in and out of the Spy. How do I fix this?
its simple really just get a sfm greenscreen add on then spawn the greenscreen model do what ever you want with the green screen scene and then render and then when rendering is done just put the clip ins sony vegas and use chroma key :)
If you can't find the frames and all you use is the numbers at the top of the graph editor, those are seconds so to see frames at the bottom of the playhead there are numbers, those are the frames
Hopefully a majority of people watching this tutorial has sfm open and learn both ways. It's just easier, I recommend since some people just watch and try to process it in their mind.
Actually, the first time I jumped into the SFM I started to use the graph editor to animate everything, so there was no pose to pose, but just constant motion and I was only rotating the limbs instead of using the other rig for models....
I see so many people asking for a mobile version... I don't think they understand how big this program is. If you insist on making your phone explode that's how you do it.
Awesome, I'm not only excited for this because I get to learn more animation, but now I'm excited so people can shut the hell up about "valve not being able to count to 3". That joke was getting really old and tiring
Is it just me or was this by far the easiest tutorial in the entire channel? The goddamn lip sync one was harder for me because of the additional adjustments you could have made with those sliders, but I barely had problems with this one somehow? Am I the only one who thinks this? Hell, I didn’t even have any “kinky curves” on my X pos like the one at 20:05, I only had 2 problems with my Z POs, one of them is literally in the tutorial, and he tells you how to fix it at around 20:50
Strangely, the rest of the set isn't placed into a folder and doesn't appear visible despite all the eye icons being highlighted. Still the rest the tutorial was great and it helped a lot. Thanks!
Here's some tips for everyone; Take the tab of the window, and just drag it into SFM. If this doesn't work simply choose from the window tab; Layout, then: graph editor...

I went through the basic ball animation at college not too long ago, you explained this so much better than my teacher, thanks.
Does anyone wish they could just use magical powers to copy and paste his knowledge into your mind so you know everything
yes
Plz
pls give it to me i want to no how to animate
For anyone struggling Just watch the series a couple of times and other videos on TH-cam that’s how I learned everything
Please let it happen.
this guy's did a awesome job... helped me A LOT with sfm.
I hope one day they will return..

I have learned more from these videos in one day than I could have on my own in an entire year, maybe even a life time. Thank you
Very useful. After tons of hours of using SFM I have learned something new.
After reading this, I finally graduated from SFM school. Now I understand that CTRL + S can save my work.
This defines Valve's hitboxes. The Spy aims for the body and gets a headshot.
