I'm going to begin a Live stream on how to make a personal playermodel for garry's mod! This is for modders who are interested in making their own playermodels from other game resources or even from scratch.

The requirements:
3ds max 2012 - if you dont have this version you can obtain this version here: http://p3dm.ru/soft/3d-grafika/80-autodesk-3ds-max-3ds-max-design-2012.html
Crowbar - If you do not have the magical software you can obtain it here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/groups/CrowbarTool/discussions/0/617328415069203029/
VTFEdit - As well, If you dont have this software you can obtain it here: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=41

There maybe more software I've forgot to mention so you may need to improvise. Remember, Google is your ally!

I will be in the group chat as well if you have any questions or concerns.

Here is the live stream link, I will be live soon!

gunna try and make a Video Tutorial series for making playermodels. but not just rigging but also using different game models and put them together into a single personal playermodel like my personal playermodel I just created today. :D

Rigging on the Valve biped is pretty straight forward actaully, Some people have to create custom rigs however(Most of the time you can tell from how they model in game, Compared to CSS Playermodel vs. The Metro Last Light Civilians if you know what I mean.) It depends on the mesh or model, more polys more work. I've done a Custom player model that I made from a few BF3/4 models. I think you can find a screen shot of it in my profile somewhere.

I will be coming out with some Tutorials on porting things and maybe even making playermodel/npc stuff later on. When is a difficult question as I work for the Radium Team and trying my best to fix, add and redo many of their weapons.

Much like the site TF3DM, This is probably its Russian Counter part, And has alot of models from Popular videos games ported unlike TF3DM. It features Weapons, Vehicles, Buildings. All that you need for your Porting, Animating, or Modding project needs!

The formats are commonly in .OBJ and .MAX formats.

No problem. I'll be working on other tutorials. Video Tutorials. Soon!

I made this a while back when I was doing simple skinning for CSS Gloves. This mainly covers over Camo Overlaps but its a good start
