    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.

    I have a question : In SFM, some eye-textures allow to make animated irises by applying the "$irisframe" integer by using custom materials in the model tab. It allows me for example to animate an eye and to make it shrink or grow at will. The vtm texture allowed for multiple textures to be compiled in a single one, allowing me to animate it. I'm still looking for a way to achieve the same result in S2FM. Is it even doable ?
