UDK doesn't have anything remotely like SFM and neither does CryEngine, to the best of my knowledge.

UDK has Matinee - http://www.unrealengine.com/en/features/cinematics
CryEngine has Cinebox - http://mycryengine.com/index.php?conid=59

Or am I missing something?

Matinee doesn't (to the best of my knowledge, I'm certainly not an expert user) allow you to actually create custom animations (rather than using animations that were compiled with the model) on the fly. I've never really used Cinebox but after a bit of google searching it doesn't look like it can do it either.

I could be wrong.

I really want this. My favorite part is the ability to capture player motion, and use it as a backbone to base the rest off of. I also think, at least based on the tutorials they've posted, that you'll be able to import models from other games if they're not already included.

I'm in the beta; haven't had a chance to download it though.

I've been hearing rumors that you can export the edited animations to an actual model file, but that the exported file isn't .ani or .smd but some new format. Anyone got info on this/can confirm it, because it sounds awesome!

Actually, I didn't get it just now. Turns out I had it for 3 days before noticing it in my Steam Library. :shock:
