1) First you need a steam product and
steam User name.
1.1) get a steam ID here:

1.2) get a steam product I suggest TF2
as it's free.
1.3) Source film maker itself can be
download in steam and is free!
2) Non Adult Content
2.1) their is a lot of nonadult
content that comes with Source filmmaker as all TF2 content is all
ready in the resources
2.2) Some gerry's mod content works in
SFM (lot of bugs with some content)
Link
2.3) Steam has a workshop set up for
people to post content (most works)

3) Adult Content
3.1)
SFM Lab
has a lot of nonadult but also a lot of adult content (log in
required for adult section)
3.2) Digital Ero has a lot of content
but the site recently changed hands or some thing so it's not
entirely clear whats going on. try these links

It's made by Valve and really does a great job taking you from zero
to ready to go.

Good luck, it's hard to get started but it's a lot easier then Daz3d and poser wants you get use to it. Also if you try to export a picture it wont fully render the screen my adivce is to exprot it as a move, the use the series of pictures option and set it to render only 0.05 seconds.
Best of luck!
