Source 2 Filmmaker Tips and Tricks - The Essentials

[@Faxanadu_]

I love the sudden cuts to "...other...body parts." Harry knows, and he's judging everyone.

Valve Products always have parts so good that the community puts up with the parts you wouldn't believe came out of an actual professional development team.

[@twicethegalo]

I have no idea what anything of this means but I like the looks of whatever is on screen

[@Gaelic-Spirit]

[@Turgineer]

The lighting is much more impressive than before.

[@jksparkle2799]

I don't plan on using sfm (1 or 2) anytime soon, but I do love learning how things work, and this was interesting from that viewpoint.

[@sulphurous2656]

That clip showcasing parallax/displacement mapping in Source 2 makes me jelly as someone who converted to using Eevee in Blender whilst waiting for S2FM.

[@GameRevo]

As someone who keeps dipping in and out of Source 2's filmmaker, I really appreciate these videos. Particularly excited about that 'porting internet/source files to source 2' video. The way I learned was quite slow, but with a quick enough workflow I'd probably, finally, take the plunge.

[@knightofarkronia8652]

Thanks for uploading this! I’ve been considering someday going into SFM animation myself, and this could be helpful for when that time comes!

[@Free_exp]

This was very helpful actully Thank you

[@SODAZ]

every time I see your video, I want to switch to the s2fm engine :)

[@noneofyourbeeswax7379]

...i suddenly appreciate the hell sfm animators go through to bring us joy

[@BeatCrazey]

WOW, the Xen Shader stuff comes with so many useful features I never dared to investigate (like parralax occlusion mapping)...

[@theironycomedy6]

Finally, a tutorial from the god of animation himself.

[@sooba9627]

Nice voice. Very smooth, very narratory.

[@chaosminecraft3399]

that is actually cool that there is an Comunity that is Truly trying to get some Great videos made in SFM. i give you full respect to what you do :)

[@freddyfoxyton7813]

*Grabs desk, chair, notepad, and pencil* Alright. I'm ready to attend to the next sfm2 class.

[@aplimsollpunk2738]

Does your desk include a built-in voice recorder, camera, and rocket boosters?

[@freddyfoxyton7813]

@@aplimsollpunk2738 unfortunately no because Gabe is a greedy bastard who doesnt share until they mass produce it.

[@booiireally6376]

Please continue making those portal songs I listen to them everyday

[@Makaponpon]

im 99.9999% sure i’ll never use sfm, both 1 and 2(or others if valve ever learns how to say 3), but by god is this interesting major envy of ya’lls patience, learning and mastering stuff like this, i know my ADHD would never let me concentrate long enough for that

[@MatthewBester]

Amazing, well beyond me. Last time I dabbled with this sort of thing was Hammer. It's funny to see that things still spawn at origin point.

[@andresbravo2003]

I know everything similar to Source Filmmaker. I would love this video and something quite exciting.

[@2702roro]

52 seconds and I'm already excited to see what he's learnt because I don't no much

[@LimeMaxx]

i love you forever, harry

[@masterofnothing4938]

Feel that will never forget his animations for some in explainable reason

[@skycreeper0173]

This is super awesome. I'd like to ask, would you make a tutorial on how to install S2FM? I feel that would really help a lot of SFM users who may want to try out S2FM.

[@mont9150]

I do not understand a single bit but i love seeeing behind the scene editing

[@DeterminedTorres]

3:14 - 3:15 WAS THAT HARUKA FROM THE YAKUZA FRANCHISE?! That was a based move. I like that.

[@poloyaoman]

omg I'm looking forward to these series ! Do you mind doing a video or two for total beginners ?

[@xivit]

I don't understand anything at all, but it looks cool

[@pivotraptor8648]

i REALLY WISH i can learn source filmmaker but i dont even know how to animate a single frame or make incredible lighting would be great if there was a "starter" tutorial or smth

[@adeeta5701]

There is actually a series of tutorial videos valve themselves made, it's for s1fm, but i believe that it's applicable in s2fm.

[@theironycomedy6]

@@adeeta5701 From what I know, S2FM is just SFM, but more complex.

[@jco_sfm]

@@theironycomedy6 the extra complexity is almost all engine side, in terms of actually using it its nearly identical, with some quality of life improvements

[@pivotraptor8648]

ye but its a bit too "complicated"

[@jco_sfm]

@@pivotraptor8648 wait till you see literally any other animation software

[@GoldBearanimationsYT]

Harry any news on like a official sfm2 release?

[@wolfform]

This is so informative! How did you learn all of these tips and tricks? Trial and error?

[@lalolanda1699]

Awesome! 👍

[@Memeboub]

I've been a fan since I have to change from my old account from this account and now I could finally subscribe to him

[@TheNamelessCadet7274]

Interesting… I’m gonna use this tip if I ever become a s2fm animator (never :cry:)

[@santodamelon]

HES STILL ALIVE

[@StupidWaluigi]

Ah. The first and hopefully not only episode.. PLEASE HARRY DON'T LEAVE ME STUCK LIKE YA DID WITH SFM!

[@magicisgonnabealongnameont2217]

So...meet the cores 4?

[@Professor_Toothpaste]

Probably not. 😕

[@shadowzgamer9847]

is there a way to port particles from sfm to s2fm?

[@gumballegal]

good to know Source 2 still has a lot of spagget

[@Harry101UK]

The spaghetti is tastier though!

[@ReyHunter]

@@Harry101UK and more dangerous, because they threaten to burn your house down twice as much

[@defect2546]

Someday..I will have a strong PC And then I'll start learning source filmmaker 2.. and I'll watch this video again time because I'll forget every tip 😅 but now i just wanna say, your voice is really cool

[@Hopwire]

Not sure if you still reply or look at comments on this, but I have a big question. Gradient fog in hammer works after compiling and loading in-game, but NOT in S2FM. Any way to make it work without using volumetric fog?

[@Nemesis0100]

hi i got a little problem whenever i tried to download the map pack it either crash or when i download it from steam it's empty how can i fix it ?

[@Jaderixx]

im going to watch all the tips and tricks of sfm maybe i find some how to do a mirror

[@lalolanda1699]

NICEEE~~ 👍😎✨.

[@FullCaber]

i cant seem to see post processing take effect until i go to timeline and click motion editor kind of annoying to jump from window to window

[@StargazerDream]

Me: watching this to learn how to use SFM 2 Also me: doesn't intend on getting SFM 2, I just enjoy Harry's videos haha.

[@Kai-1138]

So is meet the cores 4 gonna be in both SFM and S2FM?

[@GhostFoxy-pj5ow]

Imagine valve make s2fm an independent software like SFM

[@NuiiCashy]

I am sooo late, but do you know how I can fix broken materials? For example, some citizen models have a red grid on them and I don't know how to fix that.

[@Soundwave_Superior.]

S2FM is like a better blender of sfm

[@goldenmikytlgp3484]

Yea good tutorial! But like Where the hell do I get s2fm in the first place?? I mean I can’t find a way to access it at all I need some help

[@yo-ht5jb]

i love you good job bro pls tutorial Dota 2 particle system

[@as1df1gh]

Harry, would you mind sharing those HDRI maps? I can't seem to find anything similar anywhere on the web. Did you create them? Thanks

Any chance for S2FM beginner tutorial? ;)

[@Lug3rm0rphYT]

question will you still make sfm tutorials or just stick to s2fm ones, because i do not know how to get s2fm through Aperature desk job and nothing comes up when I search how to I would be happy with a reply knowing how to get s2fm with Aperature desk job or steam vr or just and answer to if your still gonna do sfm tutorials please reply thanks!

[@Th3_professional_idiot]

How do you make it less laggy

[@FeatherSketchCreations]

the real question is how the hell do I even download this. cause i cant even find sfm 2

[@systematic]

Wait... There's an SFM 2?

[@swawssfm9760]

how do i download non half life alyx models

[@thg1nrediar]

Top

[@theultimateG_off]

I use SteamVR for Source 2 because Half-Life Alyx is way too expensive for me to buy and I can't seem to know where I am supposed to put a vmap_c and other compiled formats. If anyone has any feedback please send it to me.

[@redactedgamer1975]

Something for the next animating your comments. Chuck, Test Subject 2916 here. I was taking a portal gun to the peace negotiations with Black Mesa, we were going to trade it for a gravity gun, when a turret shot me. I woke up in my room with a pre-recorded message, telling me I needed to submit a confiscated items repossession form, but it never arrived. Could you send a backup copy?

[@caosking7869]

I’m maybe wrong but why would they made a full game engine for 1 or 2 games? Maybe they made portal and half life 3 and 4

[@OliPixels]

I'm still wondering if i should buy HLA just for S2FM or if i should wait 10 years for valve to launch it standalone.

[@gamervictor1569]

Best to wait, even if it takes years and years, but Original SFM still okaaaayyyyyy, but... eh

[@avrg_dd]

Can we have wheatley crab 2?

[@-TheFacelessGamer-]

I'm wondering why it's not just a normal standalone download on Steam like SFM1. I legit thought SFM2 was made up or something cause I couldn't find it in the store. As of me writing this comment, I have no clue how to get it yet but I'll figure it out. Lol.

[@MicFortress2]

This might sound like a stupid question, but how did you get Source 2? Is it only available for a few people?

[@Harry101UK]

The Source 2 tools come free with Dota 2, Steam VR and Aperture Desk Job. Or you can buy Half Life Alyx for the most stable tools. A lot of people also have it with S&Box (the Garry's Mod sequel) but that is a closed Beta and not currently available.

Super useful. Really looking forward to future episodes 👏

How do you make the lighting do this -> 0:34?
