Are you a fan of Source Filmmaker (SFM) models but want to use them in Blender for your 3D modeling and animation projects? Here's a quick guide on how to do it!

Step 1: Gather Your SFM Models

First, you'll need to find and download the SFM models you want to use in Blender. There are many websites and communities where you can find free and paid SFM models to download.

Step 2: Convert the SFM Models to a Blender-Friendly Format

Next, you'll need to convert the SFM models to a format that Blender can read. One common format for SFM models is the .mdl format, which Blender cannot directly import. You'll need to use a tool like Crowbar to decompile the .mdl files into a format that Blender can use, such as .obj or .fbx.

Step 3: Import the Models into Blender

Once you have your SFM models in a Blender-friendly format, it's time to import them into Blender. Open Blender and go to File > Import, then select the format of your SFM models. Depending on the format you chose in step 2, you'll need to select .obj or .fbx and navigate to the location of your converted SFM models.

Step 4: Adjust and Use Your SFM Models

After importing your SFM models into Blender, you may need to make some adjustments to the materials, textures, and rigging to ensure they look and behave as intended. You can use Blender's powerful 3D modeling and animation tools to customize and animate your SFM models for your projects.

Step 5: Save and Export Your Work

Once you're satisfied with your SFM models in Blender, don't forget to save your project file and export your work in the desired format for your final 3D modeling or animation project.

And that's it! You've successfully brought SFM models into Blender for your creative projects. Have fun exploring the possibilities of combining SFM models with Blender's powerful 3D tools!
