   Hi, so i currently am trying to edit a model in halflife to look like my friend for his birthday.
    
    I was thinking
    
      1. Take halflife2 civilian
      2. Somehow edit skin ?
      3. Maybe edit his face ?
      4. Overwrite original
    
    
    
    How easy can i do this?
    
    Would love the person who could answere with the programs i need for just those 4 actions.  
    I have been googeling but the answers and programs are always diffirent each time.
    
    Im a technical student and do design sometimes, and coding so im not that new. But give me an easy program if you can <3
    
    I know there are other threads like this one, but i did not really find my answer so hopefully someone else can profit from this thread too

So @AJ10017-legacy (AJ10017) replied

    Look into hexing models for source engine games

After which, @Timof2009-legacy (Timof2009) added

    I know there is a version of Autodesk intended for source. (Wiki page Here)
    
    There also is a list of other programs if you don't want to use Autodesk Here
    
    In my limited understanding, editing pre-existing models should be fairly easy. If you are a total beginner editing models is what I would recommend to start on. If you are fairly familiar on modeling it should be a easier since you have some experience.
