Create Your Own Animated Shorts With Valve

I'm glad that my hardware specs are both strange and good. I tend to get into betas for optimization quickly. That may have no bearing on this, but I can hope.
I still think there's almost zero chance that this is completely unrelated to Adult Swim.

oh really valve? release your animation software to the hands of a trained Animator and 3D artist!? oh boy did christmas come early for me 
Yeah, I'll definitely miss Gmod's flailing limbs and hideously deformed facial vertexes (not that SFM is going to stop anyone from pulling the Demoman's one eyeball out) - but this is awesome.
Hopefully, the more narrative-driven fan projects get kicked up a notch, in terms of quality. I'm also curious to see how SFM supports new models, considering the redonkulous amounts of new models and assets available online. Facepunch is pretty much jam-packed with repurposed models from other games, or fan-made models.

Still, I'm not surprised. Whenever there's a news item involving Valve there's always at least one person who has to come in and ***** about...something. Anything, really. Just to complain. Oh well.

See, now the message behind the release to the public has something every company can learn from: your consumers have feelings, not *just* money. EA could learn from something like this.
EDIT I just took the time to read the post above mine and discovered that mine has kind of.. deflated.. BUT! It still applies, just maybe not as much anymore... now.

I've known the guy who made that video since I was about 7 years old. Small world, huh?dessertmonkeyjk said:
Funnily enough, he kept going on about how happy he was now that the official thing is out.
A quick check on Steam confirms he's using it right now.
Well, his summer is gone.
Interesting. I guess this explain why the earlier "Meet the..." were shorter as they were using the earlier version of that filmmaker tool.
It would be cool in the future it could be used alongside with the Unreal engine so that way you can make a trailer to the game you created.

Thats awesome.
Im no filmmaker but the hueg community will surely come up with some amazing videos that we cna all enjoy on YouTube or wharever they decide to upload them on.
And of course the catch you need to use steam to use it is very good trick to pull some extra gamers into the service and trap them into losing their money with the Steam Sales

As great as this sounds, I'm sure people who already do their own animations will pass on this. This is essentially a hobbyist's toolset, and the only reason Valve has made videos that look so good is because they're professional artists and animators and programmers who can adjust their tools to work for each project. You - yeah, you - you won't be able to make anything halfway as good as that. If you could, you'd already have done and you'd likely be working for Valve.
My problem with tying it to Steam is that anyone who might have considered using it in a professional capacity are now tied to the platform too. People making Source games and mods probably don't really want to be tied down to a client. Maybe Valve will release an off-the-shelf boxed version for professionals.Azmael Silverlance said:And of course the catch you need to use steam to use it is very good trick to pull some extra gamers into the service and trap them into losing their money with the Steam Sales
No, but really, this looks amazing. I've signed up and I'll hopefully get to play around with it a bit ^-^ I'm really exited about this, and the content that people will release with it. It will be awesome.
So...we finally get a Meet the Pyro video and dear GOD it's more disturbing than anything the fans thought of! (Though granted this would explain much...)
CAPTCHA: easy as cake
*starts to say something then stops* No. Not referencing that meme...no. Bad enough this Captcha showed up in relation to a Valve based topic...no.

Wow, onto the second page and we still haven't gotten the obligatory "So this is what they've been doing instead of Episode 3" post?
OT: It'll be awesome to see what people can do with this thing. Given how people have managed to make somewhat decent videos with the clunky Gary's Mod and some 3rd-Party programs, I can't wait to see what they can do with a proper video editor tied directly into their games.
