Hey Tin Can this may interest you. Found it on HardOCP today:

Softimage|XSI For HL2:
This news actually came out yesterday, but the Softimage|XSI for Half-Life 2 download was only made available today. This is a full set of modeling and animation tools for creating model and content for Half-Life 2. The whole package is just over 160MB. The file is also available at ShackNews as well.

Whether you are a 3-D professional, a novice or just curious, the XSI EXP for Half-Life 2 guides you through all the features and functionality in SOFTIMAGE|XSI, and lets you actually output Half-Life 2 characters and models. From polygon modeling and lightning fast Subdivision Surfaces, to nonlinear animation mixing and interactive simulation and rendering, it is all here.

Oh ****! I have a 56K modem! Someone grab it! Grab it please!

nice.....

[neo_hermes]

cool

[Drew]

ill get it and take a look hehe

it requires a resolution setting my monitor cant handle o.o
1280* whatever

[.::Tin Can::.]

Oh wait, nevermind. I got a friend to download it for me, and he'll give it to me on a disk so I can upload it on my computer. This could be the start of all our models and weapons on the Half Life 2 conversion! YAY!

[Drew]

it looks like lightwave

[.::Tin Can::.]

What does that mean?

I sure hope it isnt too hard to learn how to use.

[Drew]

all i know is, i told it to make a cone and it did. I didnt even have to look for the button, it was right there in the ui.
i was impressed cuz most other progs i had to spend 10 minits actually finding the damn button that makes the cones...

[Lightspeed]

Now that the tools are there - let's see the usual symptom of FS2->FPS conversions

[.::Tin Can::.]

Well... I would just LOVE to get to work on this project... but...

[rant] my ****ing "new" motherboard blew my ****ing power supply! now, I have to post on this **** computer, and also the fact I have to send it back and get a new one! And then, I'm probably going to have to go to some repair shop or computer store and then get them to put it in so it doesnt **** when it does it![/rant]

[Flipside]

LOL That didn't take long

j/k

Sorry to hear about the motherboard TC, and I do hope you manage to get it fixed soon

[.::Tin Can::.]

Me and my dad sodered the fuse off the power supply, and that thing is as shot-up as an executed Russian Spy. We think that by going to Radio Shack, getting a new fuse (8 watt, I think...) and then sodering it on there, we can use my old motherboard and get it running, send back the other one, get it replaced, go to Fry's, and then get them to install it.

Sounds good, but be careful, the last thing you want to do is damage anything else!

[.::Tin Can::.]

I would only damage the power supply. We will test it on my old board, and if it runs then it runs. Then Ill get a replacement for the other MB and then get the guys at Fry's to put it in and see if it works. Then I'll be happy.

*goes off doodleing gun designs*

[.::Tin Can::.]

Show me what you come up with. In fact, get me something like this:

www.natural-selection.org

Go there, and have a look at the Terran weapons. I want them to be KINDA like that. Nothing TOO much like the weapons from the hallfight. Those are the shoulder machine guns.
