Description Hey everyone ! Yes, after months and months wandering in the TF2 fandom, I finally managed to fall into Source Filmmaker myself. :3
It's been a good month since  I started to use this soft seriously, both in animation and in "atmosphere creation".

So I have, like, TOO MANY PROJECTS RIGHT NOW.
(actually I am not complaining. This feels good, man. Yes it does. :3)

This is a support of one of them, which is actually more or less a fanfiction called HuMANNity. This particular piece is a presentation of the atmosphere, the characters and their relationships, their problems... And it's blue. I really love blue light spots. I want to have a portative blue spot always with me so bad. But instead, I'm putting blue everywhere in my 3D work. :3
The story of HuMANNity is centered around the evolution of the BLU team. How they have met and their own evolutions, their relationships, and the shadow of Mannco floating above them... I begun to write when I was feeling really down, so I put a lot of my own thoughts and feelings in it. I hope it will end well. o/
If you're interested, I will probably continue with posters HuMANNity-related. I think I will also try to make some animations.

Speaking of animations, here is my first published work ! I was just trying to figure out of it was working, so it's kinda lame, but... I still like it.
I am working on longer stuff as we speak, stay tuned !
Also, Torgue.

Especially when you have a idea, but no energy to draw it.

Yeah, it's a really great software, I never had a chance to experiment with 3D before, and I was surprised to understand what was going on so quickly. xD
But yes, to practice SFM, all you need is time. I am quite lucky on this point by now... Oh, I am curious, what are you working on ?

Yeah! I used to work with Cinema4D a few years back but I am enjoying SFM far more better than that. Its slightly as or a little more complicated at some parts but its quite thrillingly fun to work with! Haha! ;D
And eh, its just a test animation about a whole minute long with just about every aspect that I learned from many and multiple tutorials that I've also saved, (If you'd like some help with a few things like particles and such haha) and its a silly little animation that I did based on a in-game experience. xD I only have to do the last and final scene and then I'm done! I can toss it into youtube! Just I need a free day to work on it since I'm still dealing with high school lol

Cinema 4D ? Never heard of it. I will check that !

Oh, cool, I'm going to sub to your chan, so hopefully I will see it when you will release it !
(actually, yes, I'm kinda lost with particles, I don't manage to place them where I want on my sequence, that's embarassing xD)

Yeah, and rly?? Never heard of it? Eh I suppose I was the same as well. I never knew that you could buy or get free animation programs back then and I just only thought that they only allowed animators from Dreamworks or Disney or such to use them. I only heard about these programs when I played Minecraft and was around its fandom, I got inspired and greatly curious about the animators like Slamacow or Bluemonkey Animations and got into animating a few summers ago. Maya is one of those big product animation softwares. Its Vastly complicated and it costs alot. I haven't gotten it because of that reason haha xD  (Holy crap.. Theres a thunderstorm outside and some REALLY close lightning hitting outside our house in a nearby feild OnO)
Cinema4d costs only about $200 or $500.. I really don't remember. But its fun.. Easy to use.. But rigging is a pain like with every other software like always. I haate rigging stuff honestly .-. I'm just an animator and thats all I'm gonna do unless I go to a college for animation and I'll have to learn for a job. However it does make me excited when I find a impressive rig or model to use, such like the TF2 HWM characters in SFM xD
Ah and I suppose I'll introduce you to my channel then xD Well two.. I'm picky and organized so I have two channels, one for my old Minecraft animations that I did just for fun and then my new TF2 channel for both the game plays and mostly animations lol. The TF2 one is probably the one your gonna be keeping a eye on for my new animation-And HOLY crap lightning next to our house again ono... I'mma make this qiuck and turn off my computer in fear if it gets fried. xD  www.youtube.com/channel/UCUBEb… This and then This, my old animation hub xD  www.youtube.com/channel/UCbgIM…

To be honest, animation never really attracted me before I found about the TF2 community, so I don't have a great knowledge about it (except for Maya). /o/
Yes, actually, I have a friend that is studying animation in a specialized school, and she told me about the wonders of rigging. I'm glad it's precalculated in SFM.
I have subbed to both !
(and good luck with the storm !)
