how do I make the trunks of my tree modles solid, so you cant run throung them

you need to clip the model. this can be done 2 ways

1- A clipping program
(makes horrible brushwork its good for a guide but not much else.)

2- Hammer 3.5 (recomended)
use the 3D model port to shape your brushes to the model.

3- (obsolete becasue of #2)make brushes
make brushes and compile to test it against the model, repeat untill done.

4- #2/3 but without the effort
DL the model zoo waldo made. use your eyes/the search button plz. thats all I'd do.

once done you will need to do some things to your brushes.

1- make them into an entity

2- coat them in "null" and apply the proper texture to the outside faces. the proper texture being the one that gives the right particle effects.

I just searched for "model" in posts by Waldo. Now that wasn't so hard now was it?
