Wow those animation tools look nice. Wonder how complicated it is to get your own (rigged) assets in there though. -

One thing, all the Meet The videos or other trailers Valve makes is using their own Source Film Maker and also Valve compared to many others has great facial animations in games. -
Re: Valve Teams with 9 Director for Animated Movie
I'm confused. Isn't Source being used as a prev-vis tool really? I think that's what that trailer shows. EDIT: Never mind, I saw the teaser. Yeah that latest video is clearly pre-vis, not that the 'finished' look is much better. Pity bout the quality of animation on display here :( -

Re: Valve Teams with 9 Director for Animated Movie
Ambient Occlusion has been in Source since Alien Swarm at least. It might have even been there in the L4D2 branch. Anyway, everyone saying that it's not up to par because of the engine is full of nuts. Have you seen the TF2 shorts? Have you seen the L4D2 opening video? These guys are using the same tools that they used to…
