To get you started you can always ask the author if he's got it in Max/Maya/Lightwave format as that'll be a lot better and get you on your way faster. If it's not available in any of those formats then I'm assuming you could use Milkshape 3D http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/

I haven't used that in quite a while but you could certainly convert Half Life models using it and it's bound to have been updated to include HL2 models (if applicable). One problem with MilkShape is that it's very limited (though it is simple to use).

Another program you could probably use is Deep Exploration by Right Hemisphere http://www.righthemisphere.com/ but iirc it costs a lot of money whereas Milkshape is cheap and there's a 30 day or so free trial of it.

That should be enough to get you in the right direction but finding somone to actually do it or help might be more difficult :)

Well say Im directly importing the HL2 model and skin files directly into Milkshape 3D. How would that work from that point?

You know how some people make models for Q3A, and convert them to UT99? That's what Sil wants; only between HL2 and UT2004, and he didn't make the original model (as far as I know).

oh I gotcha now :tup: sorry Sil didnt quite catch what you were asking.

There is no model of Freeman because Valve never made one.

And don't worry about permission, I got it covered. Either back on topic, any help or anything?
Any screenies or names of what you mean exactly?

What do you mean? What I mean is that I'm looking for some help in converting non official Half Life 2 models into UT2K4 format.
