Half Life 2 Dev Tool Released

[CSN NewsBot]

That's right folks, in a shock horror situation of gargantuan proportions, the Half-Life 2 development tool seems to have been given the go-ahead to the general public.



As expected, the program is a heavily tweaked version of SoftImage|XSI, a 3D graphics tool that is actually used by major game developers and also in big budget movies.



The hefty 161MB file can be obtained from SoftImage's website here.



After installation there are a multitude of tutorials to work through as well as information on how to activate the model exporter for use when Half-Life 2 is released.



Granted this news comes a bit late, and we apologize for that. Just get to work on those amazing new models now.
