You could use Steam's F12 feature, or you could just manually take a screenshot (press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard > open an image editing program like paint or photoshop > press paste > save the image). You can also use windows snipping tool.

:) I'm glad dude!

It might be that your output folder needs to be specified. This is an image of the old smd tools script, but it should look similar: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10100459/BlenderImages/smd_export_output.jpg

Also make sure you are exporting .smd file types and not .dmx file types. The latest smd tools script defaults to .dmx (you should be able to change it from the same panel as above).

If I recall correctly, the soldier model is only 9,000 tris. Just to put things into perspective.

There is no automatic way of redoing a hat of that size. You can do things like removing edgeloops (alt+right click to select loop > delete > edge loop), but I would just remake the hat.

I've never had that problem before. Try verifying the contents of your game cache files.

Right click TF2 in your library > properties > local content tab > verify integrity of game cache files.

The SDK no longer works (it has been glitched for months).

Use the "new" TF2 SDK:

-Navigate to your /Steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin/ folder
-Find the batch file titled "hlmv.bat" and open this file
-Voila! TF2-specific source SDK that should work

Lol it's tiny.

It looks ok, but what is it supposed to be exactly?

Usually Valve has a spring time update. You could make some spring themed items.

I upvoted it dude! It's sad that they had the update yesterday though :(

Don't unzip the file that it creates. Use the one that is unzipped (the importer makes an unzipped version as well). It should be located in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\models\workshop\ folder.
