New here, wondering if someone could help me figure out exporting to source

Howdy.

I've been tinkering around with modelling and game design for a while now, and of course Team Fortress is one of the best games ever made, and seeing the gross amounts of money, hats, fanfare, artistic vindication, conceptual freedom, hats and money that the item creators all seem to get, i thought i'd try my hand at making items for TF2.

However, being the rapturously unintellegent cretin that i am, i'm completly stumped. I've been tearing through the Valve developer wiki site, and every single bit on getting a model ingame leads on into more and more pages, tessellating and tessellating to the point where i can't find any sort of edge in, or foothold to start, as it were.

So in this light, i made a little misc item to sort of cover most of the bases in one going.

Anyway. I figured it covered most of the bases. Jigglebones along the leather straps holding the things to his belt. the phys model would have it's own ragdoll for the straps in their own right. team coloured materials and such.

And as i said, i've been reading for days, and i just can't seem to figure out how to get it ingame, with nowhere to start. So i supposed it's time to swallow my pride and admit that i'm a bumbling moron with nary a sense of up or down.

so anyway, if anyone would be so kind as to help me out, that'd be fantastic.

cheers

I would ask this in the TF2 Emporium. They would be glad to help.

Nice item by the way.

Thankya kindly lads

This is already far and away better then the last few communities i've joined. Over yonder they just yell at new people and expect them to figure stuff out on their own. I was sort of expecting the same

You should link the emporium to this thread, very nice model by the way.
I'm no modeler but I'd recommend HellJumper's youtube tutorial to making a TF2 hat, it's what jalcober recommended to me and should cover all the bases.
