Hey, if you've heard of Source Filmmaker, that's great. What isn't so great right now is that it's not supported on Macs yet.
I personally thought, "no big problem, I have BootCamp-Windows 7 for that". Unfortunately, this didn't work out all that well either, because even my MacBook Pro which I got last Christmas had it's Intel HD (I know, "Intel" hasn't been grealy associated with true graphics cards) Graphics 3000 chip unsupported by Source Filmmaker (which is still in BETA!).
I hope Valve will be able to work on fixing this, because I'm sure a lot of TF2 for Mac fans, want to make machinimas as much as their Windows equivalents.
On the side, I'm hoping that other Source games outside of TF2 will be available to use in SFM (GMOD fans may hate that).
I ask you, the PC ppl, is SFM seem like a worthy app at the moment?

Hm. I thought that it was the minimum requirement spec. I'm sure they'll make a native Mac version that will work. I'd say upgrade your graphics card, but I guess you're SOL on that.

You can import models and other material into SFM.

For a free program, it's nice. Pretty easy to work in. This coming from someone who hasn't really done anything with 3D models before.
"Scatman" refers to the use vocal improvisation and nonsense syllables in jazz and hip-hop music made famous by people like Ella Fitzgerald and John Paul Larkin.
