*SFM:* + Easy to animate + Fast rendering - Every animation you make takes up incredible space - Need a lot of work for a single thing (particle color for example) - No updates - RANDOM CRITICAL GLITCHES!

[@the-hd5cx]

You don't need a good pc though

[@computernoober7823]

Even with a bad PC it still kinda works with 20 fps or 30

[@computernoober7823]

i have a very bad pc “runs minecraft on 1 fps” so anyone who has a bad pc you can probably still run it

[@TrueZalamander]

@@the-hd5cx My PC crashes google and SFM still works mostly fine.

[@cuppedcup]

I wouldn’t say “easy” exactly

[@Greatdictator]

So here's some stuff that might help. For the going from 60 to 180 and then the bones not reacting. -Just double click the timeline with the model in it and find the yellow line with the models name for it inside it. then just extend it. (its stupid i know) Bones should be moveable again. For removing props that are baked into map: -Right click on your viewport , go to Draw game entities and click on World Static Props or sometimes Other entities For fixing the bones issue . -Select affected model, right click on it in the Animation Set Editor , go to Utilities and press Reattach to Model To fix the Badwater issue , try maybe Right clicking on the viewport , go to Display and then go Draw Game Entities and select Other Entities Thats all the advice / help i can figure out . Hope these help

Its the guy that made team neighborhood!

[@Dwarvencock]

Hey mate I wanted to start with Sfm and something I see nobody cover up is how you make the 3d model move on video. It is just that I don't want it to look like it moved while time was stopped. Ik it might sound like a stupid question but I don't feel like wasting hours on smth so basic.

[@inh4855]

I like how lazypurple and him both complain how SFM suck in the exact same way

[@colatf2]

Because it does

[@Whitepaw_roblox_official]

​@@colatf2It doesnt suck its just glitchy for beginners whom need help

[@edwardjocson344]

Source spagetti is what the cursed stuff on SFM is, As told with Lazy purple "THESE LIGHTS ARE SATAN!"

[@fatbeer224]

Comments: 50% something about Lazypurple 25% rating sfm 25% "I wish i could animate like u"

[@wildwilly356]

3 percent cute doggo

[@malohn2068]

10:14 i think I remember from years ago that issue comes when your timeline has been extended from after the model has been placed. I forgot where but I think in the movement editor you need to drag the green selection box all the way to the right if it happens.

[@memeexp1103]

10:02 I believe this issue is caused because model animation stops rendering at a specific point in between the two keyframes you created. Double click the clip from the clip editor, and drag the yellow line which is labeled with the model you are working with, and drag it throughout the time period you are working in.

[@Sumdy_]

thank you)))))

[@AUWRECKU]

0:02 *HOW DID YOU NOT MAKE THAT YOUR INTRO IS BEYOND ME IT IS PERFECT*

[@springmen1922]

Thank you for teaching me the basics of lighting in one minute. I really needed that for my animation.

[@MrSteve-gz7gr]

I wish i was good at making sfm like dasmxd T_T

[@Calibree]

they're complicated

You CAN be. And even if your first SFM looks bad, the overall quality can get better.

[@Manchesterisblue2oth]

You've truly inspired me,i can now make animations with source filmmaker!

[@jessicajayes8326]

You have no idea how much this helps. Other videos on the subject are long and boring. Yours is short and fun. Thank you.

[@TrueZalamander]

Yes, please make more of these! *I must learn so I can surpass my mediocre and skilled competition.*

[@Galaxy_andtheVoid]

6:19 THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THIS. i haven't seen many people mention that you don't have to animate everything if most of it will be off screen anyway whenever an animator doesn't animate what isn't shown, it's called cheating the camera. pixar has used this technique ever since toy story, so pretty much the beginning of 3d animation as whole. it especially works when you're only filming from the hips and above (although you shouldn't rely on a hip and above camera shot for everything just to save time or to get out of animating the legs/feet lol). i saw a behind the scenes video briefly mentioning it, but for some reason i can't find it now. i'll edit this comment if i find it though

[@amirhazeem5514]

ppl who make sfm animations are such chads

Lazy purple has proof that sfm is haunted by the 10th class

[@BananaSoupProjects]

i swear this guy didn't teach me anything about how to actually do the animation part (no practical showing, only technical theory), however, it was still a good video because it was entertaining.

[@report5156]

bro its like im making a movie!

[@cqcumberfunnymix]

Using optical illusions is a great way to capture people's attention and even if the animations off camera are wacky is a great way to capture people's attention even if they don't know what's behind the scenes they just enjoy what they see through the normal camera I'm using that in my videos to after watching yours I'm not going to straight up copy your content but I'm glad that you created this tutorial so now I understand much better and how I can improve my animation skills thank you

[@tigerbat1262]

I actually would like more of this. Funny sfm tutorial vids that helps.

[@MisterMee_SWaV]

1:48 best animation ever, hands down

[@joshuaroberts7794]

The back half reminds me of lazy purple's how it feels to suffer

[@ReaSoNAnimatin]

on 9:58 about your animation curse. when you go forward a few seconds and the model stops moving normally. go to the clip editor and click on the shot twice. find your model there and take some...brown strip to the right. As far as I remember, it all depends on the length of the shot. if it is long or the model is taken from another shot, then this must be done always and with all the objects that you want to animate

[@shadowluigithirtyseven5950]

Shrek cooking Donkey Ollie is something I knew I myself would probably see long after I had ported his model to SFM.

[@Karnagie]

this is both hilarious and really thorough

[@electrobob992]

7:46 Makes me kinda think someone should get around to cleaning those maps and release them on the workshop. I don't think valve would mind. Like remove all immovable props, OR replace said props with moveable variants. I would suggest the first, especially for use in SFM.

[@Shrekswamp21]

Colors! Light! I liked that section. Very entertaining as well as educational.

[@ObsidianAnimation2112]

Lazypurple explains all of this

[@Salack34157]

Lazypurple:THIS IS HELL! MXD:this ain't that bad, it's only bad

[@MultiGamerClub]

Well i cant say im suprised but good to see you finally add it out there.

[@domseg5391]

i like how insted of teaching us about how to animate he mostly talks about hilarious relatible stuff that happens in the software

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

YES! THANK YOU! FINALLY!

[@Mea-zi7uo]

I love your videos

[@Nick-sq5xe]

I’m gonna say that the test he did for soldiers helmet deflecting bullets is better than what I’ve ever made

[@DrClay999]

Not sure if someone told you this already, but the issue at 10:05 looks like problem with the model's "timeframe." For some reason, each model has its own timeframe to... move. If you try to animate it after the value of that said timeframe duration, the model basically refuses to move. To fix it, just right click the problematic model and go to show in element viewer > channelsclip > and there should be an option called timeframe. Within timeframe, there is another option called "duration" and all you gotta do is just increase it.

[@vilhelmivarsson1864]

In the "I dream about cheese part" i got the Valorant add that said "Why dont you follow your dreams" lol Amazing video too:)

Why am I watching these I literally know everything there is to know about sfm

I discovered that CUtlRBTree overflow can be caused by at least two things, for me it's happened when i have too many workshop addons, and also when i have too many material overrides in my session when rendering.

[@KenDoStudios]

10:12 actually if you double click on the filmstrip an orange clip will appear. increased the model so its more.

[@yoyojiy]

Please do more tutorials! I’m just know starting out and would love to know more from you! 🙏🏻🥺😊

[@thesecondbaronthesecond7367]

The overflow warning appears and all I have to do is to... Well... REMOVE SOME WORKSHOP MODELS... and the problem is solved...

[@36jbf-as031lb]

I don't know for sure, but it also can be a problem with amount of overall bones of indexated models.

[@DasMxD]

Nope. Didn't fix. Already tried.

[@TheExperienceYT]

It could be you have too many models. SFM has a cap of around 3000 models and will crash if you have over that cap

[@jimmythealien5273]

Your dog is super cute! :D

[@PyroeeYT]

Hey Das, for that problem at 10:01 I usually right click on the model> show in element viewer> channels clip and then open the timeframe tab, and change the duration to something like 9999. It fixes the problem for me, so I'm pretty sure it'll also work on your SFM. I hope this helps you out, cheers!

[@metarealismlord1758]

yes, that's pretty useful i would be glad if you release more videos like this :^)

[@OldLGC]

I hope you do more of this stuff it’s very interesting to watch

Fun fact the first animation I made in sfm broke because I added a key frame and suddenly when I move him nothing is anchored to itself and whenever I moved any body part on certain characters they all move away on different axis and when playing the animation that new key frame does nothing I always revisit it and it never works
