What programs are you using to create hl2 models

[Thedors]

Im working on a character In lightwave that I think would be cool to see in hl2. I'm just a beginner at modeling... If someone could tell me if its possible to put a .lwo file into a conversion program. Also what kind of poly count does the hl2 engine support for figures? I'm considering doing a whole set of chrs. If someone could send me a link to a tutorial on how to compile the models to the hl2 format that would be great.

by the look of it your model is probably to high poly for the source engin. did you smooth it? it looks that way. Nice design but you might want to take a few tuturials on game model design. Do you have wireframe of your model?

I'm pretty sure that XSI mod tool imports lwo files


all you need to do is import it and fit it to the human soruce rig... if you lower the arms you may even be able to sucessfully do a weight map transfer and get him in game with minimal work
