Source Modding[edit source]
I'm curious : What did you mod in Half Life 2 ?

- Not much. I never really got past basic interior level design and making custom textures. I think I got a couple of models successfully in the game via XSI Mod Tool (like a box and a table), but I was just learning all of this stuff back then.
