Source Modelling. Created 17 years ago2007-09-29 05:50:14 UTC by Instant Mix

Yes , I'm back. But I'm gunna get a new account since the name definately doesn't suit me.

Anyway , I've tried a million programs , But I don't understand atall how to use them.
Since XSI is really the only one since that handles bones etc. I'd have to use it. But it's hard.
Tutorials for " Making a house " or "make a car " is crap. I really don't want to make either , and they don't help me.

I want to start to model due to the fact that Gmod lacks rollercoaster models. And Obivously , I wanna make some.

1. How do I use XSI?
2. When I've made it , How do I export it to Hl2 format and materials , weight etc.

I'd like some help , and I'd really , Really appreciate it.
Oh , I've used solidworks before so does that help?
Thanks for reading.

There are tutorials on HSI all over the internets, and some even here on TWHL.

I'd suggest startin with this one, as I did:
http://halflife2.filefront.com/files/Half-Life_2/Tutorials_and_Guides/VTMs;4385

This one teaches you the basics of weapon modelling, and after this tutorial I could model pretty much every weapon that I wanted.
These talants can be used while modelling other things too.

However, the reason I didn't release any models was because of the compile which for me was fucked due to steam issues.
There is a tutorial on compiling props on TWHL, go get it.

Mr.Good Map - imho best,fast & easy way to lern 2D/3D -video tutorials. For XSI/Zbrush i can recommend buy videos from Digital tutors or pirate it from p2p (e-mule).

well shit , i thought it would be harder than that.
Christ , It's EASIER THAN HAMMER
