Hey guys I wrote vavle a simple e-mail just asking the question; what will be are options as perspective "moders" as far as modeling is concerned. This is their reply:


Hi Shawn,

We aren't quite prepared to talk about the specifics yet, but yes, you will
be able to get your own models and animations into the game. Mod creation
for Half-Life 2 will be just as open as for Half-Life 1, even more so, in
many areas.

Chris.

Subject: Quick Question regarding Modeling possibilities for Half-Life 2
mods.


Several of us perspective "mod" designers are wondering, what role will we
be able to play as far as modeling our own characters and animations. I am
aware you guys are use XSI for all of your models and animations, so my
question is:

will it be possible for people to get their own models and animations into
the game?
If so what programs might we be looking at that will give us this
capability?

yeah yeah yeah......anyways, sorry if my e-mail sounded like dumb question. I just didn't see the point in wasting my time putting a model together only to find out that a specific program would be needed.

I dont know...Thought I was being helpful.
