About SFM
3 years ago
Well, since these posts are my abstract diary, then I will write here my opinion that no one needs about various things, the first post I decided to devote to SFM. You may notice that I no longer do art in SFM for several reasons. The first reason is that I have more than 1000 hours in SFM, and this is, let's say, a turning point after which you either stay in SFM or move on to something better, it's not hard to guess what I chose. The second reason is that SFM is just an unfinished piece of shit that doesn't work well. And the third reason is that the aesthetics of SFM, you see, if you are familiar with the Source engine, you probably noticed it has its own special entourage, and I am not alone in noticing this, the Internet is full of videos and other types of presentation of information about liminal spaces and the frightening atmosphere of Source games, this atmosphere affects me and SFM is no exception. The only thing I will now do in SFM is animations (because animation in blender is difficult and my pc will not survive this) and only to order, because I no longer want to work in SFM for free. As a result, I would like to say that SFM is a good way to have fun, but not do something serious. If you think that, for example, Blender is difficult and incomprehensible, then you are mistaken, the difference between Blender and SFM is actually not as big as you think, but there are much more possibilities. Now I take my leave for that and thank you for reading these messy thoughts.

my opinion on SFM is that its good for movies but not posters because well its in the name Source "Film" Maker. i mean you can make picture renders for it but it kind of need like effects like lighting and other stuff just rendering it just makes it boring. also its kind of a bit hard to pose the models when doing it

As someone who postly makes content with SFM, I personally disagree with the last bit as I find posing very easy (for the most part) its ideas for poses I find difficult sometimes. The lighting is a thing I have only recently been working to better myself at. It can be a little project in itself trying to get it right but when it works, it works. I agree with the rest tho

but people have posted like presets on posing sfm models which makes it people just lazy to do posing themselves or animation
