Gordon Freeman is back! Half-Life 2 picks up some time after the original Half-Life left off, with Gordon Freeman working for the G-Man. Along with scientist Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx, your mission is to... well, that would be telling.
Creating a Weapon for Source
This is a 6 part video tutorial which aims to guide people through the process of creating a weapon model (glock) and compiling it for use by the Half-Life 2 Source Engine. The principles applied here can be used to make a model for any game using 3DSMax.

Intermediate Weapons Modelling.
[page=Chapter 1: Modeling]
This tutorial is brought to you by the user Stormy from Game-Artist.Net, a community for and by game artists.
This set of tutorials is intended to help and guide people through the full process of creating a weapon and compiling it into the Half-Life 2 Source Engine. The tutorials are going to be released in chapters, each of which will focus on a specific area of the pipeline from modeling through texturing and compiling and finally compiling into Counter-Strike: Source.
I know that not everyone will need to know every chapter but I very much hope there will be a chapter for everyone, if you know about modeling but not texturing there will be something for you and visa versa.
These are the first major video tutorials I have done so any feed back for the next chapter (texturing) will be good to help me produce better quality videos and in turn help the community better.
Good luck and I hope to be uploading the next chapter as soon as possible.
Download the first 6 videos and learn how to model a 3D glock weapon from scratch. Discussion about the video (i.e. techniques, issues, etc.) is encouraged! The second part of this tutorial which covers the skinning and texturing aspect can be found here.

great videos man i appreciate someone actually taking the time to teach us how, i was excited to learn how but i kind of lost hope by the end, i prior have never touched 3d max so i dont think im ready to create guns like this yet
thanks again
You can resume the download, you will just need to update the download URL as ours timeout after 10 minutes to prevent leechers
You can't unrar this with Winrar nor with 7-zip, something is wrong with it.
I will verify the file tonight and fix it if I have any problems.
Downloaded it from Filefront this time and they worked perfect. Awsome tutorial!
Nice to see the tut's uploaded to a better server then the ones I origanaly posted them on.
Good Luck, Skinning tuts soon!

I was 50% of the way through dling at 50kbits/s (my connection usually DLs between 400 and 800)
I have a plugin
"Timed out"
resume
DLs a page saying refresh the webpage
It fucked up the download and clicking the DL button on webpage again DL went to 0%
Impossible to rate actual thing if I CAN'T BLOODY GET IT - ESPECIALLY IF I've BEEN DOWNLOADING IT FOR LIKE AN HOUR!!!
thats to dam hard damit
well im gonna go ahead and try to make a gun, but i have a few questions. um does the game automatically animate your gun when it fires or do you have to do it manually, and where can i go to figure out how to run a gun model through source sdk base to get it in game
thnx
I know you use the Autodesk 3DS MAX 8 but did you buy it or download it cause it is an expensive program i was wondering if i could get it for free from somewhere Do you know where i could without the risk of getting my computer full of spam and spyware?
There are many tutorials over the net for this kind of thing but there are few tutorials that show from start to finish. will theses tuts go from start to finish to show ppl how to get a gun textured/animated/coded into a mod?
The same for characters and vehicles.
I just finished part one and i must say WOW! this is an amazing assembly of tutorials! hats off to you, Stormy :) +A
Im hoping to start modeling but unfortunatly I dont have 3ds max if you could show us a link to a free full download without trials i would give this 10/10
I can give you a link!
Studio-paw.wetpaint.com
This isn't 3Ds max, but it is good (Will do everything on the tutorial)
i use this all the time (And its free)
I have seen a lot of tutorials but this is the best one by far. Thank you so much man, it's because of people like you that people like me can also learn how to model!!!!
11/10
i thought this showed you how to get your weapons in to the game aswell?
Check out part 3 :)
