Just discovered this gem in the big 2026.How come Blender isn't as braindead proof as SFM? Middle mouse button just to move the camera? Come on, think about it in the next beg-a-thon.
>>109679056SFM is a game engine being grafted into being an animation tool, Blender is an all-in-one tool that can do modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, and rendering.Also the OG SFM is extremely outdated to the point that even porn artists discourage newbies from using it due to the limited ecosystem.
>>109681213Meanwhile Noname55 out there making better looking models/animations than 99% of Blender slop.
>>109681213SFM's workflow being essentially the same as Maya for animation automatically makes it better for animation than Blender
>>109681213>that can do modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, and renderingand compositing, procedural generation, motion tracking, raster image editing, physics simulations and so much moreit's like emacs for A/V with sensible keyboard shortcuts
If all you work with is Source Engine titles then yeah its great but beyond that it's just limited as fuck. It's just a fancy demo mode editor.
>>109679056can I use SFM to replace sony vegas 11? all video editors are no longer software but web sites
>>109683246You're better off using Davinci Resolve or a cracked version of Adobe Premiere.
Sort of a tangent but can you edit video with SFM or is it purely for encoding Source into video?I hear blender is a good video editor parallel to its 3D modeling capabilities.
>>109683320Blender can't get playback speed and vocal stretching synchronization right, unlike any other clunky video editor like VSDC.
>>109683288I think Davinci resolve might be too heavy for my 15yo thirdie computer
>>109683358if Windows / wine consider virtualdub2 for oldhttps://github.com/v0lt/VirtualDub2/releasesI still use it sometimes because it starts fast and I can hook it into ffmpeg and other shit
>>109681254most of it is just beastshit though. no humanoid on humanoid.
