I pretty much needed this tutorial cause sfm is the only 3d animation software that my pc can run until I get a better graphics card so Ty for this tutorial
Lol best for thumbnail making in tf2 in less then thirty minutes i have a red smiling spy surrounded by three angry heavys with miniguns all of them wearing cosmetics in a control point map, keep up the great work!!
it is possible you may have moved the pelvis from the root axis which in turn has caused the two to be misaligned. I typically rotate at the pelvis joint rather than the root joint
@@Scottmac04vid also, can you try and help me with something, anytime i move any camera with my mouse it constantly flashes with black ewery milliseconds, any possible fix?
this is a super good tutorial but I just have one question about that tip you gave on posing fingers, when I try to select all 3, It just selects the next joint rather than keep all the joints I had selected previously, is there a certain button im supposed to press before selecting all of the joints or is it something else
great tutorial! thanks for making these easy to understand. one thing - do you know why other source games wouldnt be showing in the 'edit search paths' box within the SDK launcher? iv got them all downloaded.
the pose is Shakespeare's hamlet in the "to be or not to be" quote. another way you could do poses is to pose the action in real life and take a photo of that as reference
Is it absolutely imperative to have Half Life 2 for SFM to work? I only have Team Fortress 2, but haven't gotten SFM yet as I am planning to start using the software.
finger bones are located with in the finger tab of the hands tab on tf2 characters. to select multiple of them hold control and click them in the animation set editor
it's amazing how little this entire process has to do with everything i was tought by the official SFM tutorial. 10/10 would suggest.
love the tutorial man! i feel like i can actually learn to use this software thanks to you, cant wait for the next tutorial!
7:32 idk about others but turning off and enabling lighting works for me 100% of times to see the particle

Bro I have having problem with choosing the 3 fingers could you please give another way to select the 3 fingers
Use CTRL+Click to multi-select
@@Daltan212you just saved my life
You can also just select those bonus on the loaded screen whilr holding ctrl and shift (shift for multiple objects adding)
Thanks man, I’m just getting into making things with SFM and your tutorials are really nice and easy to follow
2 years late but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THIS HAS SAVED MY LIFE
can you tell me why the root axis is not matching the rotation when i rotate it?
it is possible you may have moved the pelvis from the root axis which in turn has caused the two to be misaligned. I typically rotate at the pelvis joint rather than the root joint
im talking about the same bone "root transform" the axis is not pointing in the same spot as the rotation@@Scottmac04vid
Thanks man I'm going to make a "project" can't say much about it but thanks to you i can finally make something cool 😎
Also if you haven't already can you make a video on how to make movement for the characters???
How do you make your sfm look like yours?
best tutorial ever
Fr
for some reason i tried adding a helmet to one of my halo models but the zero button wouldn't work even though I added all the bip stuff
For anyone stuck at 3:35 , hold CTRL to Multiselect the finger
This tutorials are weary usefule, i understand sfm better now. also pleas make more
more is definitely being made
@@Scottmac04vid lets go
@@Scottmac04vid also, can you try and help me with something, anytime i move any camera with my mouse it constantly flashes with black ewery milliseconds, any possible fix?
@@matedino3700 that's an interesting problem... one that i have never experienced before. have you made sure your computer is fully up to date?
@@Scottmac04vid it maybe connected with how it says that i have a beta versone for some resone
thanks man to guide i really needed this! keep doing work! I have a question how you selected the fingers at 3:35?
you hold down ctrl while selecting them individually
awesome tutorial thank you so much this helped a lot
Kinda late but you teally shouldve touched on lighting for a bit here it could make the simplest pose look way better
mine crashes when a particle is imported
Thanks this is a good tutorial for me to start a sfm
very good tutorial!
this is a super good tutorial but I just have one question about that tip you gave on posing fingers, when I try to select all 3, It just selects the next joint rather than keep all the joints I had selected previously, is there a certain button im supposed to press before selecting all of the joints or is it something else
you have to hold down ctrl when clicking, had the same problem but i just figured it out
you hold ctrl and select it from 0-2 to curl in and 2-0 to curl out
Thanks for making these they helped quite a bit.
this vid is is like so good i kant saea more i got to go THANKS!!
absolutely amazing
great tutorial! thanks for making these easy to understand. one thing - do you know why other source games wouldnt be showing in the 'edit search paths' box within the SDK launcher? iv got them all downloaded.
how do i twist heavy's arm without it looking terrible?
Why don't I see Portal games on there, I only see Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2 and workshop
It could be that in order to access them you must have the game downloaded/ owned
Thanks @@Scottmac04vid
tysm for the help!
what is the ref pose your using like do you know the name of it?
and thanks for making finger posing 10 times easier it was my least fav part :>
the pose is Shakespeare's hamlet in the "to be or not to be" quote. another way you could do poses is to pose the action in real life and take a photo of that as reference

This is helpful I wanna be an animator because I'm getting a gaming pc for xmas

If you haven't changed the output folder then it should have went to usermod/elements/renders
The tf thing is not in the files
Have you got TF2 in your steam library
@@Scottmac04vid Yes
@@Scottmac04vid For some reason, NOW I can find the particle and stuff, but nothing is showing up in the drop, and I don't know why.

finger bones are located with in the finger tab of the hands tab on tf2 characters. to select multiple of them hold control and click them in the animation set editor
