Making fire in milkshape?

renkun67

I'm trying to make a cool match for Pyro in a certain community contest and im almost done, all i need to do is add fire to the model. I've been googling for hours but couldn't find anything about making fire in milkshape. so if anybody knows how to use fire particles in milkshape or knows where i can find compatible fire models or even knows how to import fire entities (and models in general) from tf2 into milkshape (1.8.4) that would be appreciated.

What do you mean by adding fire to the model? If you mean the fire particles in-game, you don't need to worry about that. If you're talking about some sort of custom particle system, Source already has all the tools you need for making custom particles. A quick Google search should find you good information about this.

milkshape? Like a milkjug container? You can create a 3d container in Maya and use its fluid system. But this is n't going to help you ingame. So you'd have to make a 3d container and apply an in-game material that looks like fire with uv distortion.

Milkshape is a 3D program.

So, if i were to win, Valve would add fire to the model for me?

People still use Milkshape? Dear lord.

Milkshape's useful for import/export. As for anything else...
