All of those are faily simple to make in a modelling package, and you could probably learn how to do it and make them fairly quick yourself if you give it a shot.

I'd probably help you out if I wasn't utterly swamped with uni work.

I'm afraid Fishy has a point with this. I found it difficult finding even one modeller willing to work on a mod, and I was searching for two years. It became such a problem the mod had to be abandoned. Small projects such as single maps are unlikely to have additional modellers for them unless the concept and basics of the map are exceptional, so some screenies of the work so far might help. What's more, although there are a few modellers at the Pit, this is mainly a mapping site, so you might want to try somewhere else. Sorry. [addsig]

Fishy you crack me up..

Why is there not any modeling tools included in the Source SDK package? I would be willing to try making my own models if I knew how, and the tools were included in the SDK.

Moneyshot, while there isn't the actual program, there is a link to XSI. It's somewhere in Source SDK, one of the links. [addsig]

Fish and I may not agree often, but he never fails to make me wet myself.

/me looks at diminished diaper stockpile.

Yup.. quite often in fact.

XSI is free, for HL2/Source editing usage purposes at the least.

I thought it was fairly difficult to learn, though. In my opinion, 3DS Max is much easier to work with, from my standpoint as someone completely new to modelling. With an hour or two of practice, I've been able to create a few static props with it - The trick is finding compiled plugins for import/export to SMD as VALVe has only provided us with sources for the MAX exporters.

More light models for all to use = win, since we've only got about 4 to play with currently <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

I only ever worked with XSI as a 3d modeling program. However, it is my philosophy that most programs like that all do the same things, they're just set up differently. There isn't one that is suddenly going to make you brilliant. Just pick one, and learn it inside and out. Since XSI is free, that's the one I'm using.

I found the program rather threatening at first but then I got the 12 part gun modeling tutorial from HL2Files. I would give a direct link, but I'm too lazy to look for it. I'm also learning from my brother who is fairly good at modeling and art in general. If I ever make some decent models, I'll put them up for dl.

go to http://www.softimage.com/products/Mod/v4/default.asp?pg=http://www.softimage.com/products/Mod/v42/downloads/ and download the Softimage|XSI mod tool, and the mod tool add-on for valve source. i think you also need to setup an account with them(free) before any of it will work. [addsig]

you will definitely leave your mark on HL2 if you keep this up.

soon, i am curious to see it for real.. right now, my gaming PC is tired up doing some *taboo* things

[edit] /me notices fish's low snarkmark totals.. /me suggests that well made models should count at least as high as tuts and maps in importance for the site.
