Can HL1 player skins be used in HL2?

[The_Underground]

If so what program would be used to opan an existing HL1 player model. Mess with the skin, then export it for HL2. Or is this impossible?

I think itwould be possible but it's a horribly inefficient process and it would look stupid next to models created for HL2.

crap
I'm trying to make skins for myself and a few friends but nother ever works. I can't follow all these model making tutorials without almost having an embelizim.

Is their some kind of "dumb tool" for making skins? Even if it's just reskinning an already existing model?

I'm stuck

You can extract and import texture .bmps from HL1 models with HLMV.

Just extract the texture, change it, and reimport.

But these will only work in Half Life 1 correct?

 

[v1p3r]

Indeed.

Damn I wish i understood this stuff. lol

any one out there make "skins for hire" so to speak?

 

[v1p3r]

For hire? People will make you skins for free if you have a good reason for them to join your team (or whatever)
