Additionally, Valve said players can make money from their SFM movies, so long as they're not using Valve's assets. Once users are satisfied with their SFM creations, they can export them to the Web or share them like any other movie file.
The SFM works at present only with Team Fortress 2, and Valve made no mention of extending functionality to its other properties. Additionally, assets that players build in the Steam Workshop can be loaded into the SFM. Those accepted into the beta for SFM can make use of Team Fortress 2's nine characters, hundreds of locations, and thousands of props, particles, textures, and sounds, Valve said. There is no guaranteed way to score access to SFM's beta, but Valve said contributing a "highly rated" workshop item is a "good place to start."Īccording to a FAQ page posted on the SFM website, the technology is different from other movie-making tools in that it is a hybrid of various workflows, including a renderer, a 2D video clip editor, a keyframer, a motion capture editor, and a sound editor. Additionally, Valve said it is limiting the number of beta users initially, but will "soon" release the SFM to all users for free. To request a beta key for SFM, users must have Steam installed and running on their PC. What will gamers create with Valve's movie-making tool?
