Steam Source Film Maker

Once again saw this little gem on Engadget  I actually saw it a while back but totally forgot about till recently when thinking about creating some machinima. It's called Source Film Maker and it makes creating short animation films stupidly easy if you ask me.


It's absolutely clear now that gamers want to do more than just play games. They want to create their own stories and adaptations on top. It's created by the vast company Steam, you get their own engine in the program. It isn't the best graphics, but for the ease of making an animation it's incredible. They have a demo video on the website which explains from creating the software to how they use it. With over 50 short films and some featuring in a collection of their published games they create the movies in the game world it's self. You can pause at any time, change camera angles, characters, explosions, colours, scenery and much more.


Source Film Maker is free to download on their website, there is a button on the right hand side "Install SFM, It's FREE"

Here is the demo video also.
