hey dude im currently in the same situation i used to work with blender as a hobby-ist and now i want to go professional so i switched tools but there seems to be a lack of or a majority out of date information on this where as tools are concerned, i found MESA and another tutorial on this buy both outdated, so im gonna look at obj conversion to smd for garrys mod as you convert smd files into mdl files using crowbar, maybe make the model in maya in obj, then open it in blender and use the sourcesdk exporter for that to get it into garrys mod, thats my plan until i figure something that works better for maya.
hope this helped
