i wanna make my own gmod props -_-, ZOMG HALP ME

[Nuttzy]

ive never once compiled a model for HL2, that being said i doubt i have the tools to do so, but perhaps someone can help me figure it out.

i want to make a prop, similar to those big spiral coin rolling things for an idea i had in my head, and well recreating it with existing props would be near impossible, so i figured i may as well take advantage of the fact I have max installed and just make one myself right? heres the kicker, i have no idea how.

Hmm...Well, I personally have no idea how it works. I do suggest tools like gcf scape and mdl compiler/decompiler.

I've never done it myself, but if you head over to facepunchstudios.com, that forum has nothing BUT seasoned players who make all kinds of player-made stuff for GMod. It's actually pretty amazing how many of these people have made scripted entities, weapons, and models.

Hell, one guy even modelled the parasite from Cloverfield, gave it animations and sounds, and made it replace the fast zombie.

Those folks could really help you out.
