It should point into .vmt-file, NOT .vtf.

Check if your model's material name in 3d editor is the same as the name of .vmt-file.

I believe there should be another bodygroups' SMDs. Try checking more carefull.

Oops, didn't notice log. Alright, fing the $lod sections and remove $replacemesh lines which contain this bodygroup as well.

Open QC file and remove line that contains bodygroup you removed. Then recompile it.

hmm, ok. And as for the different textures? (Make a model made out of different texture files)

Create new material for object, then in Edit Mode assign necessary faces to its material.

It depends on what are you trying to make.

There should be Source Engine Exportables panel in Scene tab which can be used to select which parts to export when Export All pressed. If you need to export just specific object, then select it in Object mode and export it. Also, you can group objects so they will be exported as one .dmx file.

P.S. For questions about Blender it's better to ask here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/BlenderSourceTools/discussions

Ok, thanks! But if I compile it with SFM, won't it only work for SFM, and not GMod?

There might be a little chance that it will work in gmod.

Now that's much better. I can now use the newer version without moving model in place. Thank you! :)

Sure, I found this option useful when I made another character for left4dead2. But as Rara stated, there are instances when it's not needed. For example, I can safely put my compiled model into usermod/models/ folder for Source Filmmaker, and when I publish new model, the workshop manager automatically packs the model itself with depended materials.

Anyway, thanks for attention.

And HUGE thanks for this wonderful tool! :)
