Can't compile Blender model
I'm trying to add a custom model in Hammer for TF2, I made the model in blender and exported the .smd file, then I made a .qc file with the following commands:

QC Template:
$staticprop
$modelname "testmodel"
$scale "1.000000"
$body "Body" "testmodel"
$cdmaterials "models/tut"
$sequence idle "testmodel"
$surfaceprop "metal"
$collisionmodel "testmodel_collison" {
$automass
$concave
}

After that I downloaded crowbar, then I selected in set up game to Team fortress 2(did the same in the compiler tab then I added the .qc file using browse. When I hit compile I get these errors:

Crowbar ERROR: The model compiler, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\bin\studiomdl.exe", does not exist.
Possible causes: The game's SDK or Authoring Tools has not been installed (usually via Steam Library Tools) or the path given to Crowbar (via Set Up Games button) is incorrect.
Crowbar ERROR: The game's "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\gameinfo.txt" file does not exist.
Possible causes: The game's SDK or Authoring Tools has not been installed (usually via Steam Library Tools) or the path given to Crowbar (via Set Up Games button) is incorrect.

Any help appreciated.

Just to note that this is my first time using crowbar and the most of what I did to get to this point was by following a garry's mode tutorial for making models for hammer since there were no videos on the topic that I could find.

Wrong game path

The error messages explain exactly what is wrong and what the causes are. There is nothing else to explain.

Yeah, it was the wrong path as you both said, I assumed that crowbar finds it automatically when I select a game. I had to manually change the path for the gameinfo, hammer and the others to make it work. My bad :steamfacepalm:
