How do I make a model skin say, a combine npc?

[sam2757]

I want to try and make a dystopia model into and combine gaurd npc, I think the guard is not cool enough, please help.

Decompile the models, replace skeletons, include combine guard anims.
Probably

Most people use 3DS max, but that costs THOUSANDS of dollars. I recommend Blender 2.5 beta, which includes a SMD importer and exporter. Here are the links:
