Cannonfodder released some nice smd exporting tools for 3D Studio Max. http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm And as for learning how to get the models in, I spent a lot of time going through trial and error to get stuff working. HL2world has a wikipedia setup and I've posted a few things on getting props…
Thanks Cannonbreed :) I'm assuming you mean in the run cycle right? I haven't touched the tail in the attack blocking much yet. Anyhoo, I managed to squeeze another hour in tonight after work. I've started adding some breakdown poses for the first part of the attack. Going for a super stretchy look on the staff to try and…
This really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You export a reference SMD out of max and compile the QC file to create the mdl file. If you imported the original cloak and dagger smd file you should place your model exactly where it was, however due to issues with the decompiler most people use (cannonfodder) being ancient…

I think you might want to consider removing the striations and color variation in the wood from the normal altogether. In reality those features have little-to-no depth and the entire thing would be varnished…
I've had nothing but trouble with cannonfodder, Crowbar is a much more stable application. The way I did it was to rip the .mdl with crowbar then load the .smd animation files into 3dsMax. Select all the bones and controllers and then Save out the animations as XML motion files. You have to do this one by one. After this I…
Remember using this in the good old days of cs-skins, deadlok forums and cdg. :) You can use mdl decompiler to split the model into .smd and .qc files. You can use the cmd line tool to do it or use it in combination with the HLMV to use has a GUI for it. http://www.wunderboy.org/apps/jhlmv.php From here theres .smd…
how about a mod with shootable munchkins ? and flying monkeys ? lol Ok how about a mod in an old gothic city with 1 or 2 campaigns. Campaign number 1 you have to travel to an old Cathedral to ring its bell to alert the people in the second campaign that it is time to go find the portal the horrible creatures came out of,…
