As an occasional SFM poster maker, (and now a thumbnail artist among Youtubers) this program still has features that i have yet to use.

Why would you ever need this Program?
If you are someone looking to try on loadouts, create animations for your YT channel, need somewhere to build an appropriate thumbnail, this program is for you.

Is it as hard to use as it looks?
No way! Well, only in your first try at it. You will get used to it.

It was last updated in January 2015, can I be sure It will have what I need?
Worry not, there is a lovely community set-up just for this issue, with custom models, imported cosmetics (even from new updates!) So you are more than covered, but you gotta look for em.

What terms should I be familiar with when using the Program?
1. Ambient Occlusion
2. Camera Lenses
3. 3-Point Lighting
4. Rule of Thirds
5. Complimentary colors
6. Volumetrics & Gobo lights
7. Particle Effects
8. Animation Pane
9. Render Settings

What If I need help to do a specific task?
Holla at youtube, or holla at another SFMer

This community is the best, and teaches you to navigate through files, and learn to fix things on your own. Very good tool to use if you are a Youtuber.
