    Anyone here interested in 3D modelling for a HL2 mod?
    If you'd like to showcase your talent in a mod, or just get involved in a modelling project, then post here.
    Artistic creativity isn't essential, just familiarity with 3D modelling software. Most models will be based on everyday objects, so the design and dimensions are pre-determined.

    Softimage|XSI 4.0 is available for making HL2 models:

    Great stuff!
    It's good to see people interested in 3D modelling, most guys go straight for mapping (myself included).

    DRakE,
    Let us know how you get on with Softimage. It's a slimmed-down version of the software used by Valve to create the HL2 models, so it should be capable of producing high-polygon models.

    I'm more of a 3dmax person, I find XSI's interface horribly convoluted... although afaik - smd exporters will be made available for max aswell.
    I suppose it's just a matter of sitting through tutorials to find out where everything is, but it's almost like starting from scratch.... "oh joy! lets model a low poly torch" :rolleyes:
