The truth is that I would like to use a blender, but it is difficult and complicated, not to mention that the tutorials do not entirely cover what I want to do.

and with neck pain lol

Have you deleted the cube? ;)

better is SFM ☻

DUN! (Unable to work with program)

SFM is still a good option, even more if you know how the lighting works, everything I do is in SFM and sometimes people don't believe me and say it's blender.
I only use blender to create the models, but making a render is a headache, even more if you make a model from 0, making the shaders and adapting the textures is a headache... That the result is amazing? yes, but not all of us have the time and the patience to use blender.

Besides, there are already people working on better versions of SFM, there is one called Pragma-Filmmaker, but it is still in beta phase.

yo sé la iluminación pero problema con la iluminación pueden afectar los modelos , mapa etc (muy muy brillo) xd es un bug? ta mal con la iluminación bla bla uwu

De hecho tengo un truco para evitar eso, es algo conocido en L4D2 como color correction, practicamente hace que todo se vea mas brillante, pero a la vez si bajas el tonemap de la camara, se arregla ese problema del brillo exagerado en superficies claras

Creo que la razón del brillo desmedido de las superficies blancas es por el efecto "bloom" que tiene el SFM o el motor Source como tal, en el SFM se puede quitar simplemente con seleccionar la cámara buscar el parámetro "Bloom scale" y bajarlo a 0, quitara el brillo molesto, pero se tiene que hacer con cada cámara en cada sesión. Espero que este sea una solución al problema, porque si no, me quedo mal al explicar esto XD.

i would love to learn blender but it is sooooo hard to learn, heres hoping

I had to do a bit of “Trial By Fire” in learning Blender. I use it primarily for all the models that are made exclusively for it and it does produce great results. While I intend to use Blender more in the future, in the end I still prefer using SFM mainly because it is much more user friendly and cheaper (since a lot of decent Blender models are sold at a premium).

Not to mention the models and maps that the community has made for the SFM allow you to do almost everything... literally in Blender you have to do all that from scratch.

As someone who has used Source for over a decade across Gmod and SFM, I can relate to this all too damn well.

Blender may offer far more than the limits of SFM, but in doing so presents a far greater challenge in learning it to even a basic level, let alone mastering it to half the potential we could bring from SFM.

SFM may have a gradual Learning Curve...
But by comparison, Blender has a Sharp Learning Corner that is only made steeper without help or the time and motivation to dedicated solely to it.

I here there is a big difference

I present to you the gold standard in Beginner Blender tutorials, The Blender Guru's Donut Tutorial:
