Couple questions..

[SlackerGSX]

Hey guys, just recently got HL2.. lemme just say AMAZING , but you all knew that... um, the questions.. What program or plugin for photoshop do I use to make these skins/models for hl2/cs:s? And if anyones got a tutorial for 3DSM that would be cool.. I'm downloadin that right now.. but idk, isn't there easier ways to do it too?? Just curious.. please don't flame me if this was posted, it's 4:00AM and I'm addicted.

I don't know what you mean. You can't make models with photoshop, and if you mean a plugin that lets you make a skin with one click, there's no such thing. To make skins you just need photoshop and the texture converters (vtex and vtf2tga), which are in the sdk folder (bin folder).

Half-Life 2 uses the Targa format (.tga). So you need to save your skin as tga and then use the provided tools to convert it to a HL2 texture file.

That's not what he asked.
