For me personally, the three big blocks, which have stopped me ever doing anything of any real merit in Source, are<BR/><BR/>You don't own your own work (that's a big negative for me)<BR/>Steam updates can break things - I hate forced updates, especially when they ship with bugs<BR/>Not easy to use - "not easy"? How about "mind-bogglingly difficult"? Actually, it's not the difficulty that bothers me, so much as the speed (or lack thereof) at which you can work. It's just too darned slow for me!<BR/><BR/>Steam's lighting is just gorgeous, though, and I gaze at it with envious eyes.Johnnie Ingramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03820171759059188254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26740564.post-20865784285024909082008-04-29T18:09:00.000-04:002008-04-29T18:09:00.000-04:00Off the top of my head I'd say:prosFaceposer.Power...Off the top of my head I'd say:<BR/><BR/>pros<BR/><BR/>Faceposer.<BR/>Powerful lighting.<BR/>Demosmoother.<BR/>Many prebuilt games, mods, models, props.<BR/>Built-in audience.<BR/>Gmod.<BR/>Capability to do both script based or multiplayer (puppeteering) based machinima.<BR/><BR/>cons<BR/><BR/>You don't own your work.<BR/>Not easy to use.<BR/>Real lack of dynamic player models.
