the link stopped being supported because it stopped being effective.

for those looking for a fixed link. Stop. L4D stuff was added to SFM a few years ago, Valve has you covered better than I do and the information in this thread was only important because back when it was created L4D stuff would crash sfm due to a higher bone number than was supported at the time. since then everything here has become irrelevant and obsolete.

I'd like to have someone port the Power loader from Aliens. here is a thread where I link to the model[facepunch.com]

there are a bunch of other simmilar mechs there too.

Please visit this facepunch thread for the full details.

I'm, not a smart man, nor am I a great modeller. I've not had alot of practice, but a while back I put together a small set of lowpoly characters and props for use in my own works. They are designs by me, which were put together for a series I was developing. I've done the modelling work, on the characters, they are super low poly, and they will require rigging (maybe some alterations to parts of joints to prevent deformation as well) , UVmapping, possibly some skinning though the models have material assignments already. I'm pretty happy with how the models are, for what they are, but I dont have the energy or focus to spend on getting these guys working. My main focus is on a Big BIG community project, but I still want to see the models get ported into SFM, hopefully before that other thing kicks off. this is personal to me, so I'm willing to pay, but I'm not financially liquid right now (think, nothing). Also, I'm a crappy person because I cant pay in work, something about doing freelance work on other peoples projects messes with my head and becomes difficult. but what I can do, is Teach. All i've got left is 10-12 years under my belt of machinima and film and game and modding experience, and for 8 of those years I've also been a cinematic Artist at several video game studios, including Bioware and Telltale games, and I've got alot of experience in 1 on 1 mentoring and training. In exchange for Help porting these models I have created I can offer a whatever is an appropriate number of 1 on 1 lessons in filmaking/game design/or hell just psychotherapy. Whatever you want , I'm putting my experience out there as a teacher. I can teach most aspects of source related things except model porting (obviously) and hammer, but beyond that I can help you learn how to tell a story through camerawork, choreograph complex scenes, Tell interesting stories, or even build interesting games. I find alot of pleasure in teaching or consulting and I think I have something of value to offer there.

In the short term i just want the models I'm about to link to Ported to SFM, In return, I can help you get some serious and well rounded 1 on 1 learning done. if you're interested in that , add me on steamhttps://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/Zachariah/
In the long term I'd love to find someone who can Teach me to do this work myself, instead of just me asking for others to do my work for me, but life is always a balancing act, so I cant' add deeper model work to my current taskload until I get that community project I mentioned kicking.

with what R234 said, you can easily just import the sequences of a known model like coach onto coach or nick, and then copy/paste them onto the l4d1 guys

The war is over! check out the playlist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyDe9AFreFE&list=PLj2E8Wk56yeio_3X_zo04Ith-c__P0DXg&index=1

ITS WAR WEEK! War has broken out all across SFM , battles everywhere! Combat!
Excitement! Boolets! Make War videos showing MILITARY CONTENT and post them up for the theme week!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc_1FpT9L9w&feature=youtu.be

RULES

1. WAR WEEK runs from JAN 1 - JAN 11 . Post your videos to Youtube during that period with the words OSFM WAR WEEK in the description. then post your video to THIS thread. Whenyou started your video is unimportant, just when you posted it.

2. Your video should fit the theme of "WAR WEEK!" . War week videos are defined by having Military content of some sort. For example, I will be using Day of defeat content to create WW2 stuff. however if you wanted, you could use models from Battlefield or Blacklight or Team Fortress if you want, just as long as there is some Military connection.

3. You can produce as many or as few videos as you want. I like to think of the theme week as a "video sprint" where I try to make as many videos as I can within the week. However, you only need to submit 1 video to qualify.

4. Every entry is collected into the Theme Playlist and posted at the end of the week. All videos are valid, unless I find some reason to object, (like if the video is mean/trolling a specific person or objectionable for some other reason).

I think you'd first need to run the animation through something like Maya, but modelling is not my specialization.

Sorry folks, but I'm locking this down.

Theme weeks are back with a twist! instead of picking a theme to make videos about , This week I'm asking everybody to jump in and start making tutorials ! Post your text or video tutorials here, and lets get some hardcore education all up ins'!
