I am pretty new to stuff. I just learned to use hammer, and now, I'd like to learn to make models/sk

I am pretty new to "Making" stuff and I figured Facepunch is the only place for me to learn the basics of making, porting, and hexing stuff.

Um, okay.

How about some specifics, so we can give you a hand starting out?

Porting: Just download model importers for your modeling program, or use 3DRipperDX.
Then you scale, rig and export models.

Hexing: Just decompile a model, edit it's modelpath in .qc, then save and compile.

That isn't Hexing. That's recompiling.

Hexing is short for [i]Hex Editing[/i] which involves using XVI32, PSPad or similiar to alter the Hex values in a .mdl file to change the models name/path and the materials it uses.

I didn't say it's hexing. I told him, that recompiling is finest way to make model not override original. For me, of course.

I do not see where you said this.
