ok so basically ive got this blender file and i want to put it into hammer, but i cant figure out how to. how would i best go about doing this? if anyone wants to do it for me i will gladly give you the blend file, but i do want to find out how to do it myself so i can do this myself in the future.

also you get bonus points if you can tell what map im trying to put into gmod by the picture

it's bad idea to modelling a map from Blender to Hammer as it's best to map in Hammer.. but if you still want to do that way then it's best idea imo is to make it into a whole prop and make a simple base map and load the mdl model into that

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

yeah i saw some posts saying that doing it this way sucks but i see other roblox maps in the workshop and i assume they did it the same way

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 5:25 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

how would i even get it as an mdl?

#

is that a thing i can do in blender?

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

you need to export it as SMD and use crowbar to decompile it but it's hard as you need phys parts etc

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

phys parts?

#

also i cant do smd thats not an option here

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

to make prop able to walk on or enter the buildings

#

and you need source addon tho

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

oh

#

kinda like

#

a brick

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

well it's better idea to just map the map in Hammer rather making it into a prop

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

i cant

#

its too detailed

#

and

#

ive only made one map before

#

several years ago

#

im making this one for my boyfriend since its his top game on roblox

#

and we were talking about how cool it would be to be in it in gmod

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

Can always give SourceOps a try.

#

I hear it can export brushwork and displacements to VMF. Unsure if it works at all.

what exactly would this do

#

i know it says smd exports but

#

i have an smd for the file already

#

i just cant get this to a bsp

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

restive idol i have an smd for the file already

you need to compile it into a mdl via Crowbar program

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

how would i do that

#

i assume with the q file or whatever its called

#

i just dont know how to make one

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 10:38 AM

#

QC file is just a command to tell Crowbar what you would like it to do... like the base model of smd and phys smd and where materials is located etc

this video should give you a basic ideas

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 10:49 AM

#

sweet i will let you know when i get it into an mdl, should be later my internet is off

heady phoenix Jun 5, 2023, 10:50 AM

#

okay

warped snow Jun 5, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

If you make it a .MDL know you’ll need to do a complex phys model.

#

Only convex shapes 🙂

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

why must map makingg be so hard

#

wait couldnt i just

#

duplicate the original model and slightly scale it up

#

and use that

warped snow Jun 5, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

because the source engine is old and isn't designed for that

#

Making a map you gotta optimize, think about leafs, area portals. brush count. scripting events. Paking the BSP

#

Gotta make shit convex, displacements. lightmaps

#

the map looks very blocky, so making it with brushes in hammer wouldn't be hard at all.

restive idol Jun 5, 2023, 9:35 PM

#

i have absolutely no clue what any of that means

#

also yeah it wouldnt be hard but like

#

its very time consuming because i have to place all the snow and

#

everything'

warped snow Jun 6, 2023, 4:15 AM

#

Nothing good comes THAT easy in life

#

If you want it to work then you gotta put in the time

#

Nothing else to it

heady phoenix Jun 6, 2023, 4:36 AM

#

yeah and the end of it the whole things will be worth it

restive idol Jun 6, 2023, 2:33 PM

#

yeah but i have like almost no hammer experience

#

i couldnt even make an indentation in the default cube that it spawns

#

or expand the map
