Definitely good that you learned then ;) Did you sort out the seam bleeding?

Another one, this time I had some troubles with the shaders. There is a 3dsmax and maya plugin to get the shader working in their viewport, what do you think the chanced are of us getting something like that in blender? It would be great to not have to continually recompile.

In any case, this is for slark. It's part of a pack I am slowly creating from a concept (which has already been done, I now find out, but I will continue for now anyway)

Here's one I made for slark. I've been working with source for ages now so it wasn't too hard getting this baby in engine, Especially with the fancy new compiler.

The dota compiler doesn't overwrite old files properly for me. I don't know if this is a universal problem but I have to save my file as a new name each time I compile. I just delete them all once I get it working. So if you have a problem and recompile, your problem is probably fixed, you're just looking at the old files.

I know this is off topic, but don't come on a tutorials group and ask people to do things for you. The point of a community like this is to learn.

Back on topic, those black lines are there because you have your UV islands right on the edge of the black area in your texture,and this is bleeding over your seams. When you bake, turn the "margin" slider up. if it still bleeds, turn it up more. Better yet, when you save your AO map, click the RGBA button in the save dialogue so you get alpha instead of black, and then colour the whole diffuse texture green, this means that even if it still bleeds, you won't be able to see it.

I animate in blender, and these can be easily compiled into source engine as well, although at the moment with the fancy schmancy dota2 compiler you can't define extra animations (as far as I know) so there's not much point creating models that require animations for now. Maybe I'll do a tutorial.
