Anyone know a good free skinning program for HL2?

theres not much to say about the baton or the minigun, they're reasonaly simple and sweet models

yeah well they are my first two EVER models so give us some slack

i wasnt criticising them, i was just saying they're simple and sweet, good for first models.

oh ok kinda took it the wrong way
my bad

everythings done with basic cubes and cylinders im sorry but if ur gonna be doing all the models are gonna be pretty simple. i hope ur not gonna box-model the chars.

the only "free sknning program" is on your pc, its called paint. Snip! No Warez promoting - ShortCutMan

i was planning to add more detail to the minigun as my skills increase

ok but how many modellers are on this mod? your working on putting your first 2 models ever(and as a modeller will know that they will be shit compared to 3 months down the line)

work on your actual skills first before thinking you can do a whole mod

i am the only person on this team and i was trying to learn as i go

wait your the only person on the TEAM? how are you making a mod with no coder/mapper?

i dont think your listening to me honing your skills as you go along wont work because your jsut gonna have to keep going over your old shit over and over again. Get good, or at least reasonable, before joining a mod ESPECIALLY trying to create one on your own. Mods are hard about 1/5(estimation) actually get created

i started today that is why there is no team etc

What embers said, except replace 5 with 500 and you're closer

well i have decided to put this project aside as it is probably too big for a first attempt and i will work on a basic mod to improve all of my skills. once i have the skills i will start this back up ok off to practice my moddeling

What about gimp for a free 2d art program (http://www.gimp.org/)?

gimps useless unless ur on linux where its the only thing u can use

GIMP's brilliant, I've used it before, and its got a fantastic feature set. There's nothing wrong with it.

nothing can beat mspaint

Yes, they do look plain and simple, Brad. I'd suggest going to a place like www.3dbuzz.com or www.masteringunreal.com to learn more about modelling programs through Video Tutorials. They're very useful and can come in handy when you want to improve your skills
