[Solved] How do I open/convert .vtx files?

[Zayats]

I have downloaded a character, and the textures are in a .vtx file. I want to edit the textures using Photoshop or any other program. How to I do that?

Its a .dx90.vtx file to be precise.

VTX are vertex files, not textures. they contain model geometry data.

Source textures are VTF files. If that's what you meant, you can either get a VTF plugin for Photoshop, or use VTFEdit to convert them into another format.

A .vtx file is a model file, it stands for vertex.
What you want to edit is the .vtf (Valve Texture File or Format), and that can be opened and edited with a little program called VTFEdit.

Then where are the textures for the model?[i.imgur.com]

If that's all the files you have, you don't have any. Bear in mind, textures and materials are stored in the materials folder, not models.

Those should be in a materials folder...

But when i load the model in SFM, the model does have textures.

Then go to the materials folder, not the models folder.

I was importing an mdl file into blender (by converting it into smd form first of course), then I found a lot of parts are missing, could they be found in VTX file? And how exactly should I convert VTX file so that blender can import it?

i extracted the watermelon model and there was no texture in the materials folder
