Is there any possible way to convert a HL2 model to a HL1 model without completely remodeling/reanimating it or using a rediculously priced program? I know HL2 models are FAR more advanced and complex that HL1 models but I was just wondering. I think the only real thing you would have to modify are the skins for the model. Other than that, you could just delete certain animations and whatnot. Kinda seems a little farfetched to me but someone (not I) could probably pull it off. Someone with a lot of coding and programming skill...not I.

The engine would probably just keel over and die. You're playing Quake here.

I did it once.
I took the gravity gun files from the gcf files and decompiled them using Cannonfodders modeldecompiler. Then i loaded the reference smd file into Milkshape, reapplied the texture (no need to reallign) And then export and compile it as a normal HL model.
The only downdraft is that the gravity gun animations are loast during decompile.

Hahaha, like I said I was just wondering. You're right Seventh, the engine probably couldn't take the abuse of a more advanced model. The chance of actually pulling it off would most likely be very low.

Why indeed - but there are some CS(hl1) weapons ported from CS:Source.

HL2 weapon models are all uner 2500 polygons, for the record. Characters are around 6000 each.
I've converted all the weapon models, the game ran smooth as ever.
To answer your question: Someone made an HL2 model decompiler, you can use that to decompile a source model and make a qc file for it and recompile it with studiomdl to compile it as an HL1 model. Make sure you turn $cliptotextures off

Is this tool called "StudioCompile?" If not is there a link I could have.

Half life models techinically have no limits as far as polygons go. There is a body limit of 3500 but you can have as many bodies as you want.
