Thank you for the feed back! I definitely will atempt to make some sfm pictures for my item i just have to get a better understanding of sfm and importing my model into it

Hello,

I'm looking for feed back on my first work shop submission. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. As side note I accidently to pictures of my lod1 model due to the fact i accidently loaded into lod0 slot. Even still my high lod has only 1089 polys. Do you guys feel that is to low?
Also what do you think about the texture? Again thanks for all feed back

lol no problem good luch with your items making

maybe i can help are you using blender?

You need to export your model as an smd file. To select smd click the tab left of the earth other wise known as the world tab and go down options you should see export for smd or dmx click smd, I hoped that answered your question

thanks that was very useful post.

my bad helljumper i figured it was that ok thanks

thank you for both responses however my files are in smd format and it seems that the model viewer only works with mdl files, is there a program i can use to convert the files?

Hello,
So the model view does not open, it says unable to load manifest text file. It would be easy enough just to work around this problem by using the model viewer in the beta importer, except for the fact that i am making a weapon. I need the model viewer to make backpack icons. Does anybody know how to fix the model viewer or alternative solutions. If worse comes to worse can I just use a rendered image from blender instead of the model viewer? Thanks for any help offered.

Many thanks friend! That was exactly the issue.
