That's what I told my map-maker. But she said someone told her that importing it as just a model would work fine, too. It's a small level, just designed for the scene. But I would think making it an actual map would be better.

Well for sound effects, SFM comes with plenty for you to use. Just right click in the sound timeline and click "add clip to track" and you'll find a ton of sounds to work with.

^This, because I want this, too!

Howdy!
For my senior project in college, I am using SFM to create a short scene based off of a concept I created. Super fun project right? Here's the catch: all of it is going to be custom assets, down to the map. I am currently at the rigging stage for the first character, and when finished I plan to test it out in SFM. I also have a friend working on the map in 3DsMax.
Since I know getting stuff into Source can be a bit daunting, I have a question for those of you who have created successful custom models for SFM: what problems did you have and how did fix them?
I just want to know what I need to watch out for when it comes time to get everything into Source.
Please share your pearls of wisdom, oh mighty ones!

That was really cute! As for the camera, I would break this up into different shots instead of having one long shot. That way you can get the camera angles where you want them without having to animate the camera.

Aw man, I'd be all over this challenge... if I wasn't facing 18 units right now.
Loved the logo, Fanotak. X)

Nice! Thank you!

Here's mine! It's nice being out of school so I don't have to rush everything. Though I did set a deadline for Christmas Eve this time. Still would have liked to work on my animation a bit, but I'll keep at it! Merry Smissmas everyone!

I'm not even going to try to explain this. This monstrosity is my entry for comedy. XD
