Introducing the Source Filmmaker & Tutorials

Every now and then you come across a product that completely redefines the way things work and the Source Filmmaker is exactly one such tool.


The Source Filmmaker is a movie-making program used by Valve to create cinematics for games directly on the Source Engine. The SFM is the tool behind the lovely videos that you see for Team Fortress 2 and also the Dota 2 International trailer from last year.

Introducing the Source Filmmaker 

The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by us here at Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. Because the SFM uses the same assets as the game, anything that exists in the game can be used in the movie, and vice versa. By utilizing the hardware rendering power of a modern gaming PC, the SFM allows storytellers to work in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get environment so they can iterate in the context of what it will feel like for the final audience.

Bloodseeker and Kunkka | Twice the blood shall I shed

 Bloodseeker and Kunkka new image update on Dota 2.

This update also enables the practice bots. While they’re still a work in progress, they’re a great low-pressure tool for trying out new heroes and item builds. While practicing with them, note that you can ping the minimap to send commands to your allied bots – ping an enemy tower to tell them to push a lane, an enemy hero to ask for assistance in a gank, and so on. At the moment they only know how to play a subset of the current heroes, but they do know how to use all of Dota 2′s many items.
They’ll also use text chat to indicate their plans, so you can join in. For example, they’ll:

• Let you know when they’re coming to your lane for a gank.
• Communicate when they’re fleeing or losing a fight.
• Indicate their high priority targets in upcoming team fights.
• Expose their thinking about whether they should push or defend their lanes.
• Call for assistance versus Roshan if they think the timing is right.

If you’re interested, here are a few features we’ll be adding to them next:

• User specified difficulty levels, so you can tune them to your skill level.
• Deeper control over your allied bots, so you can “command” your team at a high level. For instance, you might want your team’s carry to not join a fight, and instead keep farming their lane. Note that they do a good job of making these kinds of decisions themselves, but if you really want to be hands-on, you can.
• Support for several more heroes.
