Next I also tried using the hlmv tool to check on the model but all I guess is the pink and black checker texture and the message that the texture cannot be found. Put it in a folder and then all I have is a texture I can apply to my blocks, but it's not attached to the model like it is with all the other things. I saved the texture file as png, used VTF-Editor or viewer and turned the png into a vtf file. Even if I follow all his steps step-by-step, I just cannot get the texture over.

Sadly I only get the model out since he does not explain anything on how to get that texture over. I followed the instructions of this video So far I managed to make models and to have them in there but I am struggling a lot to figure out on how to actually put on the texture. There are hundreds of options for what to put in a material so this article will only cover the most common, which are accepted by more or less all shaders.I'm desperatly trying to figure out on how to export a 3D Model with it's texture into the Hammer Map Editor (Source SDK) for Garry's Mod. With a shader chosen, you're onto parameters (also called commands). Parameters For a list of all documented shader parameters, see Category:List of Shader Parameters. The third most common shader is UnlitGeneric, which is used for UI materials and the occasional tool texture. There are many shaders to choose from, but most materials will use either LightmappedGeneric ( brushes) or VertexLitGeneric ( models). Warning: Although your computer will let you save a file name that contains the % character, and VTFs work just fine with the character in the name, Hammer can not handle VMTs whose names contain the % character. For your material to be detected, you must save it under your game or mod's \materials folder with the extension. Materials are script files that can be created in any text editor, but it's recommended that you use Notepad++ in conjunction with the community-made syntax highlighting rules. See Valve Texture Format#Image_flags for descriptions of each.įinally, save the file somewhere under your game or mod's \materials folder. Now all that is left is configuring the texture with the options in the checkbox list on the left-hand side of the screen. When you hit OK the input file is converted (there may be quite a lengthy pause for large images) and the output VTF appears. You'll want to do this properly with an image editor for the material you ship, but the automated option is there if you want quick results or a base to work from. These (mis-labelled) settings allow you to automatically generate a bump map from your input image. Select your image and you will be presented with the import screen: To import your texture with VTFEdit, use File > Import or press Ctrl+I. (There are VTF plug-ins that let you save to the format directly from Photoshop, GIMP and Paint.NET, but this tutorial will not cover them as not everyone uses those tools.) Also, if you have textures that use transparency, it is recommended that you save them in TIFF format before importing to VTFedit as PNG transparency tends to have problems. There are a handful of situations where you'll need to fall back on VTEX… but only a handful. It's a command line tool with quite a few limitations, so the third-party tool VTFEdit is preferable: it provides a graphical user interface, allows you to change a texture's properties without re-compiling it from scratch, accepts a wide range of image formats, and doesn't require the creation of script files for each and every texture. The tool Valve provides for this is VTEX.
Textures must be converted to the Valve Texture Format before Source can use them. Note: The file size limit is 33,554,432 bytes.
