How can I make animations for gmod models using Source Filmmaker?

Hello, I would like to know how I could animate models for gmod using sfm?

This shows how I can do the exact opposite of what I wanna do

still thanks tho

What I meant is I animate stuff in sfm, I export it, and then somehow make it useable for the model I animated on sfm for gmod.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I don’t know how to do that.

You might be able to extract animation data from sfm’s dmx format, but I’m not a programmer.

Garry's Mod only uses smd files to accept and compiling them to MDL files so I'm pretty sure you'll have to convert it to a smd file

That’s not what I meant. Sfm dmx stores some additional data about the sfm session as far as I’m aware. Idk, I don’t use sfm.

And gmod’s studiomdl can take dmx files perfectly fine, just not…sfm’s dmx format.

I don’t think.

Dmx is a container format kinda in the same vein as fbx is

Use blender for easy exportation for animations. You can export it already with SourceOps engine. Or the blender source tools add-on with dmx/smd doesn't matter

I assumed he was wanting to bring the animations from SFM -> GMod, without blender/studiomdl as a middleware, like importing it to HAT animation tool or something.

I’m sure it’s possible, but no solution for that exists as of right now
