Trying to import "No More Room in Hell" models and animations but failed
Hi, I am trying to import NMRiH models and animation into blender, I tried Blender Source Tool SourceIO and plumberr, but none of them works. If these tools can't do this job, is there any other tool can help me?

FAQ
I extract models and textures from the SFM and GMod workshops using this website and this Add-on to import them into Blender.

Blender and Dota 2
Then use this Blender addon: https://github.com/REDxEYE/SourceIO

does anyone have/know where to find the developer commentary model? i'm not knowledgeable enough, apologies
The path for the model is models/extras/info_speech.mdl. If you'd like to use it outside of Source, you can extract the model with Crowbar and convert to a more usable format like .fbx through Blender with SourceIO.

I'm very new to SFM, and I just got a model of Judgement from Helltaker that I plan on posing and exporting to Blender for a 3D print. How do I load the body model with all of its separate clothing models/pose them all together?
Add this addon to Blender and click import, source engine, mdl, then navigate to your workshop items.

I made a render with Yakuza 5 protagonists using Blender!
There is an online resource of Yakuza models already ported by someone named Tension, just use SourceIO to import them to Blender and start editing/adjusting them for your own use from there. Note, disable the BlenderVertexShader in the import settings as they're not used by the models and are insanely complex, slowing Blender down.

Valve is not interested in licensing a community-made version of SFM. Help?
A great use of your skills would be to bring SFMs animation tools like the motion editor and Source's content library to something more ubiquitous like Blender. We already have great importing tools for Source's content thanks to REDxEYE's SourceIO tools: https://github.com/REDxEYE/SourceIO/

Is it possible to make maps in blender?
IMO though, better to block out in Hammer then import it into blender using the free plugin https://github.com/REDxEYE/SourceIO

Option A. Use the SourceIO Blender Plugin to directly import GoldSrc .mdl into Blender

3D printing titans/pilots
I forgot to mention that you’ll also need either the Blender Source Tools addon or the Semodel import/export addon, depending on which file format Legion+ spits out. It’s been a while since I’ve touched it but you’ll need to use the former for .qc files and the latter for .semodel files.

Porting A Blender Model to Gmod
Import it with Blender Source Tools, using the SMD. Make sure it's the SMD and not the qc or anything else, and delete the mesh

Is there any place I could get the model for Heavy's Tomislav weapon?
You will need VTFEdit for the textures, GCFScape for extracting, Crowbar for decompiling the model and Blender Source Tools for importing the model.
- i have no clue if i'm retarded or what, but i've been trying to make my own mod for awhile now
-
CSGO Models
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.

Alternatives to Maya and blender to open .MDL files and animations?
Blender Source Tools, to open any models that SourceIO didn't manage to (though you will need to decompile those, e.g. using Crowbar), or for exporting DMX/SMD files for your own maps
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SourceIO and BlenderSourceTools you can also consider the following projects:
Crowbar - Crowbar - GoldSource and Source Engine Modding Tool
SourceOps - A more convenient alternative to Blender Source Tools.
UEViewer - Viewer and exporter for Unreal Engine 1-4 assets (UE Viewer).
Plumber - A Blender addon for importing Source 1 engine maps, models, materials and textures. This addon makes it possible to import full CS:GO, TF2, CS:S or other Source 1 game maps into Blender.
