The SFM has a huge library of maps, models, animations, objects, sounds and effects for you to use during production.īecause you're working with a virtual world, and your recording stores all the 3D motion data about every element, you can modify any aspect of the recording at any time, making it very handy to touch up on any last minute changes that would otherwise break the movie.

With The Source Filmmaker, you can essentially film "on location" in your favourite Team Fortress 2 map - Whether it's one that Valve have released or one that you modded yourself. Giving them content to create their amazing animations.The Source Filmmaker (SFM for short) is a tool that uses Valve's Source engine to create a high quality, modifiable 3D recording that can be either exported as a movie or as a still image. By supporting us on Patreon, you're supporting every 3D artist you know and love. It offers a great opportunity for both myself and you, the community, to support each-other. It's a costly side project, and as the sites grow, so do their resource demands. However, it's a one man operation, and hosting and maintaining a site costs time and money. A few bumps in the road here and there, but it's steadily growing to be the largest model resource of its kind. SFMLab has been running strong since 2014, and was started in 2016. I hope you find these videos useful and interesting. Dry, boring tutorial videos with the occasional comedic edge to it. That's where Open3DLab comes in, rounding out the network of sites.Ībout Open3dLab's Youtube channelWhat good is a resource site if you don't know how to use the software? Since 2020, I've slowly started recording tutorial videos to help beginners get started in our community. Hence, was created for the exchange of such models, as well as tutorials and resources for beginning artists to hone their skills.Īfter the success of, there was a niche left unfilled: a resource site for general purpose 3D models for use with common 3D tools like Blender.

Started with real 3D creation tools like Maya, Cinema4D and Blender, weįound that there was no suitable repository of freely available Learning curve and a great repository of models, but can become limiting The site also offers exclusive content that is not available on the Steam Workshop, as well as tutorials on Source Engine related subjects.Ībout grew from a growingĭissatisfaction with Source Filmmaker. It host models, textures, maps, guides and other resources for machinima filmmakers. Welcome to finest model resource sites on the planet! About SFMLab SFMLab is an independent site that means to provide a place for artists to share files for use in Source Filmmaker.
