There's also still the free xsi mod tool. valve used to recommend it after hl2 came out.
Autodesk discontinued xsi but there are still some good ressources around.
This one got me starting a while back:

It's actually pretty handy for source props + the *.smd export works well.
Can you show us your maps?

The layout has a really nice flow to it.
Quote from El MoroesI've personal pics too to share if it's necessary

How can you buy the rights to some characters and ship a finished game about a week later?
Quote from SkybexYou must be saving them as uncompressed because a 1024x vtf should only be 683kb.

This looks dope 
The last time I playes the map I really enjoyed it. I'll try to make it tomorrow.
Are those mirrors still the same?
That lounge looks a little bit to wild-west for my taste. Maybe loose those bottles with the scratched labels and
replace the wooden barrels with more modern metal kegs.
That lobby looks amazing but the walls look a little flat atm.
I'm sure you will find an artist in no time.
Quote from Deh0lise...
I'm going for the Detroit theme FMPONE suggested, though I'm not sure I'll be able to make neons, they require a lot of tris, between 2-3k, and I'm not sure how it will hold. I have some placeholders now (hotel sign, russian sign). I've also changed some decals for guidance, fixed clips, changed lights etc.
...
2-3 k is actually not that many if you look at most of the stock props. I guess you could also use alpha chanels for the letters in most areas. Keep up the good work.
Quote from PogoPWorking on a vehicle in my spare time. This is a space plane I kinda mashed together from various concepts, real space planes, and a few ideas I had floating around in my head. Never done a vehicle before, this is really good fun and it's a real challenge having to think about how everything fits together! This is just the high poly so far. It was only meant to be a small Substance Designer test but now that I'm using SD more at work, I just thought I'd go into more detail on this
Thinking further ahead, I may create an entire environment for this to sit in. I've been playing a lot of Space Engine, and I really need to practice my organic modelling/texturing more, so I may put this on a runway on some terraformed planet somewhere with a cool little sci-fi vista in the background! Should be good fun.

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see.
I was wondering because you share a lot of pictures in a regular fashion. And every new one looks even better than the last one.
Are those mostly portfolio pieces or are you a member of a modteam?
Anyway keep it up!

How much time do you spend on a model like this from start to finish?
I would also suggest looking at Fish Market from Kane and Lynch 2 :

I'm a little late but I wish you all a happy new year!
Quote from TheOnlyDoubleFI didn't get crazy presents but food and money.
But something crazy happened on that Christmas night: all my family played my last game Ultraflow, and especially my grandparents. It was their first video game. They saw their grandchildren play a few time but they had never played before that night. They have even never understood what I was doing in my studies. And i can tell you that this particular moment, watching them playing their first video game, their grandson's game, my own game, is strongly anchored deep into my head forever. You should have seen them, they were really into the game. Mobile devices are so great to make people like them discover our video game world. They get it very quickly and played few levels. I was so proud of it. It was even funny 'cause they really felt all the feelings we tried to put into the game in just few levels. Damn, it was an amazing moment, so much emotions for me. I still got some tears in my eyes while writing this. Now they know what I do and they are proud of it. So am I.
So, I haven't had amazing stuff gifts but at least I had that, and this was amazing.
that's just awesome.
be strong. The story and the the other characters make up for the bitch. 
Happy holidays to the core!
