I Loved It, sometimes I found Some Bugs But i just love this program. update - 5 years has passed i hate it now. update - it's 7 years now, i love it. update - it's almost 8 years, i'm using blender now, still recommend it tho believe it or not, maybe go check my review on Blender.
This is one of, if not the easiest program to get into animation or posters. The first time I opened up SFM, I was pretty overwhelmed seeing the layout and all the little buttons that I don't even know the purpose of. But once I dove into a few tutorials and eventually made something decent, I got completely hooked. You can make pretty much anything you can think of in regards to animation. There are some downsides though. SFM can be pretty limited due to the Source engine. A couple of the biggest problems I have with it is that maps can only be so large. And lights are only limited to spotlights. They only light up what's infront of them in a cone of light. Despite the limitations, overall, it's a 10/10 for me.
Here are the steps for source film maker 1. Download it 2. Get hyped thinking I can make an actual good video 3. Watch a tutorial of some british guy going through sh*t to fast 4. Stop watching the video after one minute and think that your a pro 5. Try to spawn in a character 6. Freakout cuz you did something wrong 7. Ask a good pal to help you 8. he ignores you 9. delete the program 10. repeat all steps
