How do I take models from SFM and put them into Blender

[Ponlets]

all of my models i have in Gmod and SFM are VTX and MDL and PHY files

You use Crowbar ro decompile the model to its Valve model source format (SMD) and use the Blender Plugin called Blender Source tools to import the SMD files into Blender.

well i wanna know how to take the direct files ( .MDL .PHY .VVD ) and stuff like that or if i could .. to learn how to take the Direct files which will work in SFM and put them in Fuse (which is free now) and export it as an .OBJ ... do you think you know how to do that also it seems the main thing i get is .VTX not .VTF

[Pte Jack]

VTX is a model file not a Material file, you're looking in the wrong folder path if you are looking for VTFs.

As for going direct from the binary Valve .mdl/vtx/phy/vvd files to Fuse... Forget it...

First, Fuse doesn't support it..

The way you would get those files into Fuse is by decompiling the model to SMD source format, importing it into a 3D editor like Blender, Maya or 3DSMax. THEN exporting that to an OBJ file. You would also have to ensure that the UV Maps for the model you want to get into FUSE meet the FUSE UV requirements.

If you don't, it ain't going into FUSE.
