models

is it possible to download models, i am new so i haven't learned how to make them yet and creating ground up in hammer would take forever for some of the items i need<br style="color: white;">

Fatman, we have models right here for download.

Where you been?

I'd contact Fishman, he has a s**tload of sources and whatnot.

Blender is good and free.

We had this very motivating small modeling competiton a while ago here (wouldn't be too bad to revive that idea btw!) you might find some links in there!

Oh, I forgot the link to Snarkpit's not-yet-very-popular models section:

Why snark works.

thank's guys
as soon as i feel im a competent mapper i'll start making my own, until then these should work

I especially recommend Cherokee team, it's linked at the bottom of the Snarkpit models. There's an asymptote load of models there.

Also change the texture of the dock. Docks are rarely tile. -Facepunch
As I Lay Dying

i downloaded several models and they aren't showing up in hammer or in cs:s
it finds the models but all it has is a selection around where the entity should be, nothing else

The best things in life, aren't things.

The model files and the material files for the models have to be in very specific directories. Usually they mirror each other.

example: a pooltable model for counter-strike might have this setup.

the model files go here>
...\counter-strike source\cstrike\models\pooltable

the material files for the model go here>
...\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\models\pooltable

check the readme file (if there is one) to get these paths,
usually they are placed in the right directories in the .rar or .zip file

to put it in the map, you would place a "prop_physics" or "prop static" entity
in the map, alt + numpad enter to go to its properties, then choose world model and look for the model, I'd use the word filter and type "pool" to
find it faster.

NOTE>
If its not showing up when you compile it, then you might change the entity.
Such as make a prop_physics but disable its motion,
or change it to a prop_physics_multiplayer or prop_physics_override.

i'm terribly sorry orph, it was just so convenient with this thread already in place

it won't happen again

Yeah, right... OK then.
