Counter-Strike 2: How to import models from SFM to S2FM

1.VTFedit-for texture convertation
2.Blender-for model editing

1.Blender source tools(link: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools)
2.SourceIO(link: https://github.com/REDxEYE/SourceIO)

Create new addon in cs2 and close it after its finished loading(name it whatever you want)
(this is required to create necceserary folders of the addon)

After you created new addon, laucnhed it and closed
You need go to path of your CS2 location
Your disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name of your addon)
and you’ll need to create a path using new folders
Your disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name of your addon)\(name of your addon)\models, create 2 folders in there: source, textures
After that you’ll need to put converted textures and models, we’ll do that in next step

Now you need to convert all of your textures, to do that
Open VTFedit>Tools>Convert Folder>choose location of your textures>choose output folder that needs to be folder of your cs2 addon(Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name_of_your_addon)\(nam_ of_your_addon)\models\textures)
then hit convert
IMPORTANT:
Only choose PNG format, because other formats will be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up

For that you will need choose Blender 3.6 and Blender 4.1
First of all, you need to install SourceIO addon in Blender 3.6
How to install blender addon:
(Edit > Preferences > Add-Ons
Click “Install…” button in the top right of the window
Find the Add-On file to install (usually a .zip or .py)
Click “Install Add-on”)
After that import your model as mdl
Then just export it as fbx, also delete default cube,camera and light before doing that(you can also use other 3d formats, but I only use fbx because of habits).
Now change blender version from 3.6 to 4.1 and install blender source tools addon.
Then import your fbx,choose export path(it should be this: (Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name_of_your_addon)\(name_of_your_addon)\models\source), choose dmx format and change scene settings of blender source tools to binary 9 and model 22 (modeldoc)
Finally hit export(you can choose scene or collection, choose what ever you want)

After you done with everything from last parts, i’ts time to make last but very important parts
Launch cs2 workshop tools, search for modeldoc and open
it
P.S
3rd icon
Then click Create New and choose this option

Now add your mesh
(go to location of your mesh, this should be like this:
(Your disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name_of_your_addon)\(name_of_your_addon)\models\source)

Now hit compile and save your model in this directory:
Your disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name_of_your_model)\models
Now you need to select a mesh and change it’s scale to around 50-70

As you can we our model has no textures, to add them click
Add and search for DefaultMaterialGroup
But now we dont have any materials yet, now head to material editor
Click 1 icon to create a new material, choose CSGO Complex shader
(best shader for default texturing)

press ctrl+s and save it here:
Your disk:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\(name_of_your_addon)\(name_of_your_addon)\models\textures

In color click folder icon and find your color texture
(Choose all images option if you didnt find your texture)
Then go to Normal tab and do the same thing but with normal map texture
*IMPORTANT*:
Choose gear icon under normal map texture tab and choose
“Legacy Source 1 Inverted Normals”

After that return to ModelDoc,choose DefaultMaterialGroup
Choose search icon

click “Mods” and choose top option

After that choose your material

Finally our model has textures

Now it’s ready to be used in S2FM
