First in a four tutorial series covering some ins and outs of creating pose to pose animation in the Source Film Maker. Aimed at newcomers to animation and SFM.
@@bingbong3535 Yes. Just search for hwm (for Hardware Character Models) and then your character (ex. hwm demoman) and you should find it or anything else.
Not only is this a really helpful tutorial, which I am very grateful for, but it also shows how much detail goes into a simple picture. Even parts of the model that we don't notice are posed with so much attention to detail. I LOVE IT!
Trying to comprehend this with a tired mind is like trying to eat beyond when your stomach is at full capacity. Perhaps it is best to come back to this when I'm fully rested and ambitious to take on such a task!
Some people might find other tutorials a bit hard, this is the best one for beginners, going directly in-depth of the posing is exactly what i needed :) ty valve
Actually, you COULD lock the weapon's "weapon_bone" bone to the character's hand (Or their OWN "weapon_bone") and the weapon will position itself into the natural pose
@@toasterkolin9951 He's not wrong though. It's a rather quick and easy way of getting it into a natural position, even if it does take a little tweaking.
Oh my gosh. Thank you! I've actually been using a young link model for this so I kind of just animated my character my own way and he looks so cute! Thank you! Liked! Definitely will be watching the next part soon. :)
Stop hating on this tutorial, to understand it go back and watch 0 basics, this is why its called 13 half the stuff you need in this is told in previous tutorials
100% of the stuff before anything advanced (motion and light theory), aside from various functions to make things easier (the alt function), I figured out on my own. Not a flex, but I used something with a similar control point method, so it was easier to learn.
MentalzCk There was a map for the EOTL update that was planned for ages and was really good, but valve removed it from the update because of it "being too confusing for new players"
This tutorial is much easier to understand when you already have some experience with a 3D modeling program. Knowing how to generally navigate a program like this alleviates a lot of the confusion.
Very helpful and informative! I'm an aspiring animator, so I figured SFM would be an awesome way to practice. haha, The way you did it makes it look so easy, though-- I probably spent ten minutes trying to position Spy's arm behind his back alone, lol.
Yeah, positioning the arm behind his back was more time consuming than I thought it would. Infact positioning his right arm with th revolver was easier.
Holy damn... this is the best tut I have seen for this... I've looked all day and gave up... I accidentally came across this video and ITS SO DETAILED!!!!!! I LOVE IT!
I was prepared to rotate each joint individually, and you have no idea just how relieved I am to see how user-friendly and convenient the control rig is by comparison.
I'm getting back to using Source FilmMaker again and this video today just turned 10 years old! I remember it like it was yesterday SFM beta was just released.
***** yeah you're right i'm sorry "did you think you can make an animation by magic?" and "he has a minecraft picture...move on people" definitely isn't condescending as fuck
***** i hate to break it to you but being blunt to a person for no real reason is also known as being a dick, i don't know how this is a conversation we're having
Other animators have had this problem too. You have to remove the rig_bipped_simple to work with the hands without your computer freaking out. When you're satisfied with your finger position, just return back to rig_bipped. It's a little annoying, but it saves time.
10/10 Videos Left click your model, scroll down to rig and hover over. "Rig_biped_simple" should be one of the options. If you're trying to remove it, there should be an option to remove the rig when you hover over it.
god, I Love your explination of how the body tells everything about a character! and this was soo, helpful, ive been selecting every bodypart individualy in the drop down menu! now posing wont take 30 minutes
this has been thee most helpful tutorial I've found! I appreciate the time and effort you put in man, you gained a new subscriber in me, and I'll be checking out the rest of your videos so I can make some fun stuff using sfm.
This tutorial is fine. You should watch the ones in front since they explained alot in those, and this recaps a little on it before moving forward. Learn from imitating them and then explore and see what things to. Also this is a little dated, to make your spy hands show the armature you click the cursor looking button to the left at least that is how it is on mine. This sorta thing takes alot of time to start with and it's helpful to know terms. Also with them saying all those short cuts, its really worth while to as they say them do them on sfm, shortly you pick up on them and it goes much faster. Just take it slow and have fun making magic happen! Time to watch the next one.
when making a film, make sure you have placed out "camera1" or whatever you name it too. All spawned items will spawn at the camera (this isn't necessary but it's an easy way too spawn items)
For people having problems not finding the fingers, I had no selection to make the selectable either but there's this little arrow thing to the left of the right fingers called "toggle selectability". I clicked it, it highlighted and poof my finger bones appeared. Like magic.
Look at where it says Spy in the Animation Set Editor. Click the plus by his name and then the plus by fingers. That should pop up a whole list of his fingers. If you click on them, it will let you move them individually. Either that or just hold CTRL and select the finger you want to move on the Viewport.
it's like, typical new software problems. Trying to "hold ctrl to get orange thing to move spy" and it only draws white lines that let me highlight the skeleton... gawl. It's funny because a month ago I got pretty far in the valve tutorials.
***** If you still need help, maybe I can. Click the orange tool (The Orange Circle with a bow in the middle) click and hold the box inside the tool and hold "SHIFT" to move and snap him to the surface. And by the way, the "roottransform" should be selected. If you didn't understand add me on Steam.
+Graham The Bunny (Jacket) Well, it is rare to find good fnaf animations and there is a ton of crappy ones. Also some of them bring their own story that has nothing to do with the real FNaF story line and those give me cancer! Anyone know Zajcu? Lucky if you don't.
This was the video that made it click for me 5 years ago. I had some prior basic knowledge of stick animation around that time, but I wanted to do 3D animation. And this video made it all click together.
When I held ctrl the little dots on the spies' body didnt appear, and only one dot telling what model it was appeared. What did I do wrong? Update: Now none of the windows that help me actually animate exist. Double update: I was stupid and didn't realize that I was supposed to add the windows-
I was a bit confused at first but I figured it out! And come to realize it was something I had figured out on my own accord while messing with something else. The word "selectable" is what is what throws it off. In the animation set editor, where you see RightFingers, for example, to the left of it will be a slightly faded out cursor. Click it and voila! Fingers for the right hand will be selectable. do the same for the LeftFingers. Also, if you notice, everything that is able to be modified, IE, has bones or whatever, will have the cursor there, faded out or filled in. Its also handy when you're trying to select stuff with Control and all the nodes get in the way. You can now hide them when working with say, a hand or something! I guess Valve did it to alleviate having to right click! Hope it helps.
Be thankful, they gave us this tutorial ;and much less, that they released it to us all FOR FREE! If you have problems and you can't figure it out, ask someone who's run into the same problem (or knows how to fix it)! There are MILLIONS (and that's an understatement) or moders all across the world who can help you. Even if that help is in India, you can use google translate! Or just ask the Steam help desk! I'm not saying SFM is perfect fro me, heck I'm still trying to figure out how to get...
In order to fix it you now have to find the right thing you want to select in the animation set viewer then there should be what looks like a mouse courser next to it, if you can't normally select it, it should have a grayed out courser instead of a white/silver courser. Click that grayed out one to make it selectable.
I know it's a bit dated but... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! I have had the worst time trying to figure out SFM and getting anything out of it. Even tried using my face on the keyboard, got nowhere fast and hurt myself... So THANK YOU
There is a small, dark grey triangle/mouse cursor icon to the left of the name of the control. If you click it, it becomes light gray and the controls become selectable.
they updated it so that its already select-able but you have to hit the plus next to the right/left fingers and chose witch on btw new update in a month
Valve added a feature later on to solve this problem. 1. Right-Click on "sniper" (or whatever class you want to give a weapon) in the Animation Set Editor 2. A drop-down menu should pop up. Click where it says "Add Team Fortress Item" 3. A small window pops up with a list of items for the Sniper (or, again, whichever class you are giving the item to). 4. A search bar should be at the top. Type in the name of the item you wish to give him. Once you click OK, the item will automatically be snapped to whichever part of the body it belongs. You may need to rotate it a bit however, as sometimes the person doesn't hold the item right. This will also work for cosmetics. Hope this helped.
AnErectCock™ Thanks for the help, But I'm trying to make it snap to both hands for an sfm movie, So the sniper can reload the sniper rifle. I appreciate your help though! :)
I'm sorry I'm a bit late but if you are still curious, what you can do is lock the gun to one of the hands like shown in the video and then proceed to lock the other hand to the root of the gun. So what it should work like is say, if the Right hand is the hand controlling the gun, the gun's movement in turn moves the 2nd hand. I'm bad at explaining but I hope you get it.
i know this is late but. at 6:20 when he moves the model, the body doesnt stretch. when i do the exact same steps, my models body still stretches. am i just stupid or am i missing something
For anyone using the most updated version and having issues with not finding the "selectable" toggle, it is to the left of the RightFingers in form of a little arrow. If you click on it, it will toggle the selectability.
I can't rig.Please remove the epic fail body movements and add the rig to the model when you set up the model.Please do it before I yell at you on steam.
I think its more comfortable if to have to operate with more body parts. Like you want to unhide 2 and hide 4 other you don't have to right click and select the menu point just click, click, click.
They removed that little menu option and moved it. Now there is a little cursor icon on the left side of each body part in the Animation Set Editor (left to the + signs). For most body parts its filled but for the fingers its empty. Click on it and it will become selectable. Hope it helped.
I just realized. The intro is the sniper driving the van, but the soldier screams, and then when they crash you see the Heavy's corpse.
The heavy is the sniper's stunt double.
@@gingerman9188 He comes with a built-in airbag after all
Oof
*huh*
*oof*
11:34 For anyone using newer versions of SFM, you can just click the little arrow icon next to "RightFingers" to make them selectable
thx you bro, you were the comment that i was looking for
Is there tf2 models in the newer version or no?
@@bingbong3535 Yes. Just search for hwm (for Hardware Character Models) and then your character (ex. hwm demoman) and you should find it or anything else.

You can just skip to 8:00 if you've been through the last 12 tutorials.

They could've made it easy...
but they didnt
To be honest, it's not that hard... sometimes.
It's literally easy
It's stop motion animation
Koii Joji not really. For instance, iMovie is easier than premiere pro, but looks less professional and harbors less options.
They made it easiest as they could

Yeah but its hard to watch because its so comfusing
Besides I don't want to animate anymore anyways :/
I actually hate minecraft now. Also I watched the whole video.

Same problem. This is only for custom models though for me, such as dark souls models.
+EOCmodernRS I know, EA's models for my FNaF animations just don't rig. And the scout of tf2 doesn't rig either.
It can only work with Spy and other players but not the anamatronic models. If it doesn't work the other models then you could use the rotation device

This happened to me. I selected the model from the set editor first, then pressed ctrl, and it worked just fine
I don’t know if you found the answer but it could be because you have to be in the graph editor, the (2nd timeline)

1. Right-Click on "sniper" (or whatever class you want to give a weapon) in the Animation Set Editor
2. A drop-down menu should pop up. Click where it says "Add Team Fortress Item"
3. A small window pops up with a list of items for the Sniper (or, again, whichever class you are giving the item to).
4. A search bar should be at the top. Type in the name of the item you wish to give him.
Once you click OK, the item will automatically be snapped to whichever part of the body it belongs. You may need to rotate it a bit however, as sometimes the person doesn't hold the item right. This will also work for cosmetics.
Hope this helped.
AnErectCock™ Thanks for the help, But I'm trying to make it snap to both hands for an sfm movie, So the sniper can reload the sniper rifle. I appreciate your help though! :)
+AnErectCock™ thanks BUT I CANT FKING MOVE THE THING TO HIS FINGERS!
I'm sorry I'm a bit late but if you are still curious, what you can do is lock the gun to one of the hands like shown in the video and then proceed to lock the other hand to the root of the gun. So what it should work like is say, if the Right hand is the hand controlling the gun, the gun's movement in turn moves the 2nd hand. I'm bad at explaining but I hope you get it.
i know this is late but. at 6:20 when he moves the model, the body doesnt stretch. when i do the exact same steps, my models body still stretches. am i just stupid or am i missing something
He has rig_biped_simple on.
It just draws awhite line when i want to move something. Then it wont do anything.
Just click on it once, then drag the part wherever you want
THANK YOU VALVE for making pyro hed my favourite character top 1.

good tutorial I love it you explain everything very clear and you go at a good speed that I can understand you
Me: decides my spy is too lonely so gave him a family
People like you deserves the heaven
He already has a family
Looking at this will really help me to see what I'm doing wrong for poses of the characters

Click the arrow button near the "Right fingers" menu (picture - pixs.ru/showimage/SnimokPNG_9730233_11065971.png)
Al K Thanks bro!
Al K Thanks bro!
Thanks that helped a lot!
For anyone using the most updated version and having issues with not finding the "selectable" toggle, it is to the left of the RightFingers in form of a little arrow. If you click on it, it will toggle the selectability.
Thank you 9 year old comment

Lmao

*ive done it before*
*the results aren’t pretty*
Your are fantastic at explaining! I applaud you
I can't rig.Please remove the epic fail body movements and add the rig to the model when you set up the model.Please do it before I yell at you on steam.
Or can someone help?

Thanks A lot! This was the only tutorial that was working!

Wow this is actually a lot easier than I thought
I CANT GT IT TO DO THE SHIFT THING! THIS IS MESSED UP!

Skydiver Spreme u did?
you have to do what the video says!
I tried
The primary view port keeps vanishing when I click away.
How do I get it to stay on inside SFM?
JESUS this new comment section sucks SOOO BADLY. Can not reply to any one? ALL of my comments being shared on GOOGLE+? WHO USES GOOGLE PLUS ANYWAY????
lol XD
this guy's voice is so damn relaxing
So Boring :P
How?
what the fuck are you expecting from a detailed tutorial lol
this isnt for entertainment, its for educational purposes
I think its more comfortable if to have to operate with more body parts. Like you want to unhide 2 and hide 4 other you don't have to right click and select the menu point just click, click, click.
They removed that little menu option and moved it. Now there is a little cursor icon on the left side of each body part in the Animation Set Editor (left to the + signs). For most body parts its filled but for the fingers its empty. Click on it and it will become selectable. Hope it helped.
Is it me or does he now sound more relaxed than in all the others?
i find this really use full thank you, also while watching this im eating chilly
i dont know why i put that just roll with it
That intro is my favorite ever
