It's the Source Filmmaker! You make films but in Source I mean seriously it's in the name.

Quote:

Source Filmmaker (SFM for short) is a tool used to create most of the videos running the Source Engine. Source Filmmaker is a video capture and editing application that works from inside the Source engine. It allows users to record themselves many times over in the same scene, creating the illusion of many participants, as well as supporting a wide range of cinematographic effects and techniques such as motion blur, Tyndall effects, Dynamic Lighting, and depth of field.

SFM allows you to:
• Record footage into:
• Uncompressed AVI file
• TGA files
• Frames of Footage, user defined
• Single Frame, similar to a ScreenShot
• WAV files of sounds
• (All can be done simultaneously)
• Record yourself performing one part, then rewinding and record yourself performing another
• Publish videos directly to Steam (option is available in-game, but nothing happens when selected)
• This option was most likely used by Valve, does not work for current, unofficial version.
Control camera placement and movement
• Add per-object motion blur and depth of field
• Import choreography scenes
• Ability to modify bone placement and facial expressions of characters

How do I join the beta?

Just take this survey! Which is less like a survey and more like clicking next a few times. After you do the survey you simply have to wait until it pops into your game library on Steam!

I hope I'll be able to mess around with it soon, applied a few days ago and nothing yet.

Not too bad.

I chuckled at all of them.

Would you say it's relatively user friendly?

whats the difference between this and gmod

vealin99 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 04, 2012 12:28 am

Better lipsynce and smoother animations

Plus, I think this is entirely just a move creation system rather than a playable sandbox game like GMOD.

It's what Valve used to make the Meet The Team videos. I'd love to see someone make Meet The Pyro in Gmod.
