Long panning shots, long movement (running, waving etc). Motion editor is for sweeping motions.

For the sake of this work we wonвЂ™t really touch it, except to cut down our shot (it wonвЂ™t be the full 60 seconds) We donвЂ™t really use this much, my preference once I have a shot is to move it all to Adobe Premier, but you can do the same things in the clip editor.

Clip editor deals with our shot as a whole: our sound, shots and overlays.

They are really there for three gradients of work. SFM has 3 editor modes, from left to right, being the Clip Editor, Motion editor and Graph Editor. We can our models by unchecking the eye and making them invisible.Дў. Here we have set the camera up as an animation set, added 3 lights and added our two models. This is where we get hold of the different parts of our models / lights / camera.

I am not really looking at explaining how to set up and get models into SFM, there are lots of tutorials on that, but to make sure we are looking in the right spaces here is an example of the SFM screen, numbered with the most important areas:ДЎ. This means most of our work is done in the graph editor.

General animation is usually concerned with sweeping full body motion over a reasonably extended (+5 seconds) time periods, we are generally more interested with micro movement over short periods. Why? Well while I am no expert I would say it hangs heavily on different types of movement. There are many tutorials on performing basic animation for TF2 style animations but these are not always applicable to porn and often the things they use to do something (especially motion editor) is not super helpful for sexing. As I say I am far from expert and sharing techniques is a good way to improve knowledge. Secondly by laying out my process maybe I can generate some discussion amongst other artists about how to achieve a goal. Writing it down allows me to really try and think about why I am doing things the way I am. Lastly there are the benefits for me, firstly in codifying my approach. There are also very few document tutorials, and if you are anything like me wading through 40 minutes of video is far more annoying than reading text where you can easily jump around. If this helps someone to skip those weeks of frustration then greatвЂ¦I wanted to keep these short but as this is the first there is a lot to go over so fair warning this one is long. I also am new enough at it that I remember how I approached the task, the problems I faced and the most commo This sets the entry point quite high for people interested in learning.

Why? Well when I started there was (and I believe still are) only a couple of video tutorials on animating porn in SFM and everything was pretty much a case of trial and error.
