Crowbar VS Plumber

To edit the textures, you can use Paint.NET (https://www.getpaint.net/), and for decompiling and compiling, use Crowbar (https://github.com/ZeqMacaw/Crowbar/releases).

If you use the Crowbar tool you can extract files from VPK's.

TF2 and Portal 2 are different branches of Source. the models don't always work well when just dragging and dropping. crowbar can decompile and recompile entire folders of models at once

You will need VTFEdit for the textures, GCFScape for extracting, Crowbar for decompiling the model and Blender Source Tools for importing the model.

Crowbar is the go to compiler helper https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CrowbarTool

it a program/modding, where you can create custom models. but i do recom learn how to use it, heres the official group: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CrowbarTool

Most models from CS:GO are in Left 4 Dead 2 so I recommend looking for them there first because the conversion is easier; for de/recompiling use Crowbar

Use GCFScape to export the .mdl from the CS:GO VPK (in the "csgo" root directory) and use Crowbar to decompile into .smd. You can then use Blender Source Tools to open the files in Blender, where they can be exported to .obj or .fbx if necessary.

I used this one for importing map to blender https://github.com/lasa01/io_import_vmf

The map is drumroll please... de_nuke from CS:GO, u/Skibub actually noticed it, congrats ! What I used to get the map into the game, is a tool called BSPSource, and once the map extracted, I used this Blender addon. This is what has given me the less troubles compared to other addons. Of course, materials will need tweaking, and I would suggest doing the lights yourself. You might have to look up a bit of tutorials because I don't want to explain here.

I also used io_import_vmf to import the map (Overpass) into Blender and use that for lighting and reflections for the terrorist and also as a shadow catcher, so the his shadow is cast perfectly on the ground and everything matches up. This is necessary because he's actually not there in the in-game footage, only in Blender, so he would have no shadow otherwise. The map obviously isn't visible in the final video, it's just there to influence the CGI, which is just the swings and the terrorist.

Import them to Blender first: https://github.com/lasa01/io_import_vmf and then export to Unity

The files are compiled into formats that are easy to load for the game engine, but can't be opened in modeling programs. You need Crowbar to decompile models and Blender Source Tools to import them into Blender, VTFEdit to convert textures into PNGs and io_import_vmf to import maps into Blender.

2. io_import_vmf by lasa01: https://github.com/lasa01/io_import_vmf

The map I used was mg_commandconquer_v2, its on gamebanana, https://github.com/lasa01/io_import_vmf to import the .vmf into blender and the free version of Unity. Did I do something wrong?
