If your just getting into sfm this video will help with that. However after a little while if your looking for further advancements in your sfm skill set, my channel does so happen to have a ton more info than this one gives on lighting, composition, posing and more. Also my more recent videos are better looking so yea.

You should mention that SFM cameras, by default, have an atrociously high FOV, and often look far better at their default FOV.
@NightmareCourtPictures
6 жыл бұрын
That's actually a huge misconception about FOV. High FOV's can be useful and only certain shots can be achieved with a High FOV rather than a low one. It all depends on the aspect ratio of your movie. High FOV + wider aspect ratio(2.39:1) = less vertical distortion = epic awesome wide screen shots. High FOV + standard aspect ratio(4:3) = more vertical distortion = crappy distorted shit pile.

One more thing to increase the quality of your picture in terms of resolution! When exporting as Movie/ Image Sequence, you will notice that the max quality you can select is 720p. To increase that, go into the launch options and type -sfm_resolution 1080 (or 2160 respectively) and you'll be able to get that sweet full HD or 4k. As opposed to posters though, you cannot use any other resolution above 720p other than 1080p or 4k, else the export will be entirely black.

Hey thanks man. Ive been doing digital 2D for a while and have been playing with sfm lately. This helped alot. I couldnt really find information on little nuances like, being able to change model colors with material override, that you are even able scale the model, thought I was stuck with default sizes of environment props; nor that you were capable of moving a light similar to a camera
