Model Conversion Questions

CplDavis

<div class="IPBDescription">From the Modeling new guy</div> I ve been looking around but I havnt really found any really good tutorials etc for this so Ill ask here.

What is involved when you simply convert a model from another HL mod. Example. I want to convert this nice .45 handgun to use as my pistol model. ( I have several, Ill either convert from a custom CS model or a DoD model I have)

The animations are pretty much the same for the reload etc.

I would just have to fix up the arms and hands.

Do I have to worry about any other animations as well as timimg factors in terms of reload and pulling the slide back etc?

If I simply took a DoD pistol model and put it in NS would I have any major problems? The extra HA models are were this would fall short I guess.

Thanks
