You had me at Valve

Awesome stuff!

Yeah, you just earned my money...

Wow, cool. I'm going to check this out!

As someone who's had to bother with keyframe animations, graphs, motion clips, rendering, compositing, editing and rendering some more using about five completely different workflows across a couple of different software suites just to get a shoddy concept animation done... let's just say this makes me insanely jealous...

Now you can make your own "Meet The Pyro" video!

Shit is about to get real in the world of machinima.

Why has Valve always been one of the Big Three?

Oh, yeah, this is why.

This is a great idea, although they make the art of animation appear to be a lot quicker and easier than it actually is. I commend Valve for giving this access to a much wider audience though, more power to them.

This is fucking insane.

Valve is the only company left that I feel guilty giving my money too. They have earned it beyond any other.

okay, after watching this video, this is fu crazy.

Valve.

Bombcast Animated 2.0?

This is pretty amazing. Valve just remains awesome even despite hiccups like DOTA and not releasing friggin Half Life.

Wow.

ALL HAIL VALVE.

Welp, I know where my free time is going with this comes out. Hope it's not TOO hard to use.

Hopefully my childhood experiences with Microsoft 3D Movie Maker will serve me well with this, lol.

No doubt, someone should bring McZee over to the source engine.

Someone has to get on this.

This could be a really, really big thing. Signed up for the Beta, hope I get in.

Someone NEEDS to use this to remake the Half Life: Full Life Consequences series.

But what if it's free? D:

I was going to join the beta but.... actual proper 3D stock,. Mt mind can't.... just can't... yet.

This needs to be a Vinny quicklook asap! :D

Can't wait to see what more creative and talented people than me do with this.  While I wait, I'm going the heavy hump some stuff.

This will be the thing I get extremely excited about, try to use, get confused and close, never to open again. BUT UNTIL THAT DAY, THIS LOOKS AWESOME.

Well this is rather impressive...to me at least, anticipating that one guy who will go on about how it's all just common stuff in other engines and programs.

And that guy is WRONG. No other tool out there lets you create and edit video like this.

I just hope YouTube is ready for the exponential increase in video uploads....

Aaaaaand they also have an economist now....wow.

Half-Life 2: The Movie (brought to you by Source Filmmaker)

It isn't a question of "if", but of "when".

That is so fucking cool

And 99% of them will be fucking terrible. It's still going to take a serious amount of talent and skill to make something worth watching, which the other programs require just as much of.

It will be nice to see what kind of stuff comes out of this.

Damn Valve, keep being awesome.

Pixar with guns.
