Modelling - how to?

[Backblade]

Hey I was thinking... since I crave for so many new skins and so on. Why dont I learn to do my own skins. I always get dedicated when getting into something so with a little time and learning I might be able to do decent skins and so on.

Does anyone got a few starter tips, a link to a tutorial to tell me what its all about and maybe what kind of graphicprograms that are good to use.

Well I dont have a clue about what modeling is so a good starterguide would be superb :D

Theres Softimage, its totally free as long as you only make models for HL2..not much problem there.
I'm trying to learn how to use it and modeling in general.

i find softimage quit simple to use but i like milky soo much better i am hl2 modeling the hard way...make it a mdl then decompile it with new decompiler then recompile it.
