Well if you have a more specific question we could help but I'm not gonna write a complete Tut on what to do step by step. I've answered it on other threads with some0ne.

Download cannonfodder max importer/exporter.
Make your model in Max.
Export to .smd.
Make your texture.
Compile your texture to vtf/vmt.
Create a working .qc file.
Use some0ne model toolkit to compile the .smd.

There you go.

right.....

I've been looking at a guide, this one...

http://www.*************/wiki/index.php/Static_Models <--- where the stars are replace them with halflife2.net (for some reason its starred this out when i posted the link).

I've got to....

8) Select all of the verts and click assign to link. Then click the green plus symbol, set "Blending between links" to "No Blending", and click on your bottom bone at 0,0,0. All the verts should turn green.

This isn't working for me at all (this is 3d studio max by the way).

I click assign to link etc and the bottom bone and nothing happens at all!

I've been stuck trying to import a friggin cup into hammer all day, 1 damn cup grrrrrrrrrrrr

Help please anyone, thanks in advance.
