Update News: SFM importer (Patreon)

Hey all!

I've had a minor setback which required me to do some time-consuming re-writes of some parts of the SFM importer, but I'm back on track now.

The good news is, the core of the importer is now complete! That means that most projects should now be almost completely importable, excluding features I haven't implemented yet of course. I've added some new features, such as material overlays, fade-in/fade-out, etc, as well as a bunch of bug-fixes, mostly related to the source model importer. Some models still end up being rotated by 90°, I'm still working on tracking that one down.

Anyway, very little is documented about the internal workings of the Source Filmmaker, so I end up having to do a lot of experimentation and guesswork. Sometimes that backfires, hence why the re-writes were needed. With the importer being mostly complete now, the worst part is over and things should go a little smoother going forward! I will also be doing weekly progress reports every Friday from now on! For the next week or so, I'll be primarily working on the GUI, since that'll help immensely with debugging in the future.

Also, I'm still looking for other SFM projects for testing purposes! If anyone has any projects they'd be willing to send my way, that'd be a huge help!

Thanks! Have a great day! :)
