"The SFM condenses the production pipeline of an animation studio down onto a single gaming PC."Īccording to Valve designer Bay Raitt, the Source Filmmaker allows users to record gameplay footage and edit it in real time by modifying a variety of aspects, from lighting to facial animation or camera position. "The SFM is a storytelling tool Valve developed inside the Source Engine to create all its animated short films, including those in the "Meet the Team" series of Team Fortress 2 shorts," Valve said.
