Source Filmmaker tool in the worksAn app used to create animated short films in closed beta Posted by Alex 'SpectralShock' V on Jun 29, 2012 - 1:56pm EST (325 days ago) |
Valve today announced the development of Source Filmmaker (SFM).
The SFM is a storytelling tool Valve developed inside the Source Engine to create all its animated short films, including those in the "Meet the Team" series of Team Fortress 2 shorts. The SFM condenses the production pipeline of an animation studio down onto a single gaming PC. "The goal of the SFM was to develop a story telling tool that allowed us to create computer animated movies more efficiently, and with greater creative freedom," said Bay Raitt, designer at Valve. "Over the past five years, we've produced more than 50 animated shorts with the SFM. The Source Filmmaker will allow our community to create their own movies in Team Fortress 2 and in their own Source SDK-created mods." The SFM is currently in closed beta and will be made available - free of charge - later this year via Steam. |
