Missing textures without error

So, I'm a beginner in blender models and I have figured out how to port an obj file and add an armature and everything but when I ported it into sfm it had no textures aside from the pink and black. I checked the console and there was no error, then I went to blender and saw that there was no texture here either but problem is I don't know what to do to fix it...
If anyone could help I'd be grateful

Did you convert the given materials to .VTF, and create proper .VMTs for them?

I did convert them to VTF and VTM. Or I messed up the names or I'm not sure

You need to make sure the names of the VMTs are the same as the given names in Blender. You'll also need to make sure the directory in the .QC is the same directory in the .VMT, and is the actual directory.

Hmm, but like I said I have no textures in blender either and being a noon I'm not sure how to proceed

It's normal not to have textures in Blender-- you have to import those yourself. I'm not sure what you mean by "being a noon".

Oh I am sorry, it was auto correct on my part. I meant a noob

Ah, ok. Let me give you an example.

$cdmaterials "models\rockstar\"

This is a snip from a .QC of mine. This is the materials directory that is listed there. So, here's where I'd put the .VMTs and .VTFs:

[modfolder]\materials\models\rockstar

And an example .VMT I would put there:

"VertexLitGeneric" { "$basetexture" "models/rockstar/SirenIris_Dif" "$bumpmap" "models/rockstar/SirenIris_Nrm" }
