Custom HL2 models..

cold_electric · Jan 2005

Out of curiosity, how many custom created models are there for the HL2 deathmatch game?

I hate to be nosy but the model section on the polycount frontpage has not been updated for a while.

The only people i knhow of that have new models into games so far are people working on mods.

XSI's the only option, and I can't even get it to work, and who knows if it'll actually work from there.

I'll just wait for Milkshape 2.0 and a Hl2 model decompiler and compiler - or those "hl model conversion tools" valve lied about

I'll wait for der_ton decrypting the formats involved. MS3d 2.0 won't be ready before Duke Nukem Forever is (and even if Mete's going to have a hard time catching up with even Blender since that has dozens of different coders working on it, not to mention more expensive packages).

In other words, thank Valve for their "excellent" mod tools.

XSI is the only free solution.

There are plugins out there already for maya, max and lightwave

I already know that XSI is the only program that can make content for HL2.. but is it still possible to make custom HL2 models for the HL2 deathmatch??

Well, you're misinformed, because there are plugins to export content for HL2 out of Max and Maya.

It is definitely possible to make deathmatch models. The Valve guys even recommend you dissect the .qc files of the models that come with HL2 deathmatch, cause that's how you'll be doing it. Why don't you try learning yourself?

sadly I don't own any of those multi-hundred dollar programs.

I'll be living off of XSI mod tool for a while.. Eventhough I havent got HL2 yet.
