Modeling software for Linux

**BlacqWolf** · February 10th, 2012

Hello all,

Does anyone know any modeling software for Linux which supports Source engine .mdl files, either natively or through a plugin?

There are multiple solutions I've found, for Linux and Windows, but have prices above $3000. And for something I just came up with that I'd like to submit to Steam Workshop, I'd like to not spend twice the money on model editing software that I spend on an entire PC.

Thanks.

Blender? Pretty sure it has a plugin if you google a little.

I use Blender and I do like it, but I haven't been able to find a plugin yet. Well, I have found one, as well as converters, but it was all Windows-only.

Just had a quick search through Google myself. I found this website which is from Valve themselves which might help you.
