Getting a gun inside the game?

[Vage]

I'm sure this was already asked but I failed to find it. I've got a gun I just created in lightwave and I'd like to port it on in to a virgin MP SDK build. Anyone have any tutorials for this sorta thing? Thanks!

Here's the gun rendered in Lightwave with some surfacing applyed:

Mmm, disappointing; Noone's even took a jab at my question...

thats cuz its been answered 100 times already, search for it, or go to lightwave forums since most ppl dont use lightwave for modding hl2.

or you coulod learn max, maya or XSI.
Hell, you even get a version of XSI for free with HL2.

there is a beta lw exporter which i think works on lw8. unfortunately it doesnt for 7.5 . but even if it doesnt work properly yet, its still being developed so just hang in there.
and about compiling your model, im nearly done making a script which does it all for you.

Thanks for the answer SomeOne. I've searched the forums and only found unanswered posts about this.

Vage i dont know if you've noticed but look for "tunah's" post on a lw smd exporter...i just tested it and it works. seemingly without textures at the moment but im sure he'll fix it.

Ahh, I've just decided to go on to the coding part of the mod and when I'm done hopefully there will be proper LW support... Thanks though!
