When you say no textures, do you mean your model is invisible? Or does it show up as purple/black?

There could be a few things wrong. Filepaths, not assigning the material correctly from within blender, mismatching .vmt and .tga names, etc.

I guess you could start by checking to see if your material was assigned correctly. Right click your .smd file and choose "Edit with notepad++". Do you see your material name listed correctly? If you don't know what it's supposed to look like, it should look something like this:


Notice the texture name: "wingedhelm_color". This is what I applied to my model in blender (wingedhelm_color.tga), and it should match up with your .vmt file (wingedhelm_color.vmt).

Make sure you don't have any weird looking texture name in your smd file. If so, reapply the material and re-export. Check again to make sure it worked. If everything looks good so far, let me know.

Mine just show up as "Material.017" instead of the .png I used.

That's your problem then. Reapply the material and re-export.

hey there, I got the same problem... But my .smd file doesn't show up any mistakes... It shows the right names and yet my model does only appear totally in black instead of the textures I took (one of them is black though, the other one is a wooden texture). Could you help me too? :) pls pls

I'm not mapping in TF2 though... I do it for CSGO, but should be no problem, eh?
