In this video I cover how to create a Model in Blender, with a Texture and simple default Collider and how to export it into the Hammer.exe / Source SDK for your GMod and CS:GO needs.

Please read the description carefully. It may help you and explain some things too.
==============================
This Tutorial is an Update on my previous video which you can find right here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQkG8rPyM5g

I have left out the Part where you export a model you made in the Hammer.exe / Source SDK so for this please have a look on my previous video mentioned above.

==============================
Here are the Tools you need:
==========
Blender:
https://www.blender.org/download/

==========
Blender Source Tools Download:
http://steamreview.org/BlenderSourceTools/

==========
VTF Export from Gimp & Paint.Net:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/8made8cwgckjiwf/GIMP_and_PDN_Plugins.zip/file

==============================
The Files and Examples
QC-File content:
$modelname "VarmintsModels\Cube.mdl"
$model "Body" "Cube.smd"

$staticprop
$cdmaterials "models\VarmintsModels"
$surfaceprop "Cube"

$sequence "idle" "Cube.smd"
$collisionmodel "Cube.smd" { $concave }

Please remember to replace VarmintsModels with whatever you want to use and Cube with whatever your model (SMD-File) is called.

And also rename the file to whatever your model is called with QC at the end. If it is not working please make sure to show the file extension under your explorer View tab.

==========
VMT-File Content:
VertexLitGeneric
{
$basetexture "models/VarmintsModels/Cube"
}

==============================
Bat-Files:
==========
.Studiomdl.bat:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin\studiomdl" -nop4 -game "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod" %1
pause

It may be that you have your games library on another Partition. In such a case have an example of what it may look like.

"G:\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin\studiomdl" -nop4 -game "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod" %1
pause

==========
.VMT-Mover.bat:
@ECHO OFF
Copy "*.vmt" "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials\models\VarmintsModels"
Copy "*.vtf" "G:\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\materials\models\VarmintsModels"
pause

==============================
If you have questions feel free to ask. I will try to answer them.
