Struggling......

[Scoot]

I have a 3ds map that I want to convert to a HL2 map - can someone point me to how to perform this operation - I am using 3DS7 (but 6 seems compatible) - I have managed to convert it to a smd but am totally lost from there -

obv I am a noob, but you have to start somewhere

can someone point me to a site / help

TIA

there's a really old thread I made that has a link to a Max tool for that, have a search for it. It's still out there, somewhere.


You should be using Hammer for mapping though, 3D apps for models, Hammer for maps.

O Dark one,
thanks for the reply - I am trying to find it. The reason that I have the map in 3ds format is because I have converted it from a microstation model that I am using at work (a refinery-or section thereof)

I was wondering if you could convert the dgn->dwg->3ds->HL2 but the last but is where I am struggling

I will keep looking for your post, but I'll trawl the web too. If I can get it into hammer then I can do the textures in there (I hope) maybe I am being lazy, but it would save me a lot of building time

Thanks for the reply
