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!
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.
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
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. :)
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!
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.
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.
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"
***** 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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-
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.
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)
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.
+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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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
It took me a week to figure this out but if you cant move the fingers make sure the little arrow next to it is filled in and when you right click right fingers/left fingers the hidden option is not selected otherwise they wont show up

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.

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.

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
This doesn't work when a rig has been attached, I believe.
Oh, and once you lock the weapon in place, bring its "zero" preset all the way up.

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.

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.

"lets get a better look at spy" continues to look at his crouch.
11:33 when I right click the right finger, and left fingers I don't see selectable. I require assistance!
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.
OK I found out how to make it work, there are buttons that make them selectable in the animation set editor
Thanks A lot! This was the only tutorial that was working!
The Ctrl + click doesnt work. I cannot move any of my characters arms and whatnot, I don't even get those lines representing the bones.
you need to go in the motion editor or graph editor first.

Any of you who've already watched the prior tuts should skip to 8:30 that's when he really starts to get technical on poses.

Just click on it once, then drag the part wherever you want
i used to work by just animating and when i saw this technique it got a lot easier. thanks
Hey, Does anybody know how to lock 2 hands to a weapon? Like with the sniper rifle, Thanks.
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.

Looking at this will really help me to see what I'm doing wrong for poses of the characters
How did you get his gun to stay in his hand at 8:55?

Finally learns how to pose after 3 hours of sfm. Ah. Next to try and animate. *explodes*

This was made in 2012 and it is still the best tutorial
Me: decides my spy is too lonely so gave him a family
People like you deserves the heaven
He already has a family
OMG THANKS your the best man. this tutorial was epic
the moistest sounding narration ever, please keep water away from this man
Wow this is actually a lot easier than I thought
Valve should of made it easier, and atleast put instructions..
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.
I don't care about youtube anymore actually, so I never have changed my name. I only use it to watch vids. So your argument is invalid
yes I actually quit not too long ago, so that's why
yeah
This guy is the Bob Ross of SFM Tutorials
i would rather drop a bowling ball on my foot then try and figure this out
Lmao
why?
*ive done it before*
*the results aren’t pretty*
good tutorial I love it you explain everything very clear and you go at a good speed that I can understand 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.

I CANT GT IT TO DO THE SHIFT THING! THIS IS MESSED UP!
same!
i figure it out
Skydiver Spreme u did?
you have to do what the video says!
I tried
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.
help i don't have a timeline
Just click "Windows" at the top left corner, and click "Graph Editor".
Your are fantastic at explaining! I applaud you
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????

That intro is my favorite ever
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
It took me a week to figure this out but if you cant move the fingers make sure the little arrow next to it is filled in and when you right click right fingers/left fingers the hidden option is not selected otherwise they wont show up
