Converting Blender Models to GUI Models: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of converting Blender models to GUI models efficiently. Converting models can be a complex task, especially when dealing with bones, but we will simplify it for you. Let's get started!

Preparing Your Model in Blender

Ensure your model is rigged with an armature for bones manipulation.
Texture your model by navigating to shading and setting up textures accordingly.

Installing Blender Source Tools

Install Blender Source Tools from Blender Source Tools.
Access Blender preferences, go to add-ons, and install the downloaded zip file.
Locate the Source Engine Export in the add-ons menu, set the export preferences, and export your model with bones.

Using QC Files for Conversion

Download the provided QC file template for model conversion.
Customize the QC file with your model details and specifications.
Use Crowbar 0.72 to compile the QC file for model conversion from Blender to GUI.

Importing Models into Garry's Mod

Compress the exported files into a zip folder.
Utilize any zip program to create an archive with proper compression settings.
Host the compressed file online through platforms like OneDrive for easy access.

Testing in Garry's Mod

Obtain the shareable link for the hosted model.
Paste the link in Garry's Mod to download and integrate the converted model.
Verify bone integration and model functionality within Garry's Mod.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly convert Blender models to GUI models with bones for Garry's Mod. Experiment with different models and have fun exploring the possibilities of model conversion!
