Source SDK

[XXzz-Trauma-zzXX]

Can anyone tell me what it is exactly? I see videos of people doing all kinds of stuff with it. So can anyone break it down for me?

Source SDK is the Source Development Kit. It gives you the tools to develop modifications for th source game engine.

The SDK comes with tools like the Hammer Editor, for creating maps. Or faceposer, which is commonly user in machinima.

If you google source sdk, valve has a wiki with a lot of info

Follow this guys youtube tutorials and you should have all thats necessary to make a decent map in roughly an hour. He really lays it down for you unlike other tutorials. All of the techniques used in his video can be applied to HL2, Alien Swarm, L4D, etc.

Source SDK = Map Creator, kthxbai

It's more than just a map creator, that's just one of the applications in the SDK.

As iSimon said, the Valve Developer Wiki will help you a lot if you want to develop anything that runs on or uses the Source Engine.
