Here's my example VMT with all the parameters: "%keywords" simply specifies tags that one can use in the texture browser, most tf2 textures will use the tag "tf" Other common values are "concrete" "metal" and "wood". It also tells what type of bullet holes the material should show. "%keywords" "tf""$surfaceprop" specifies what sounds the material should make when walked on/shot. Now you'll need to specify the properties of the material. Open this file with a text editor (I used Notepad++, Notepad works too). Create a new text file WITH THE EXTENSION VMT. Open up the folder where you saved your VTF files. (I saved mine as blendexample_red.vtf and blendexample_blu.vtf) Then go to File->Save and save your file as a VTF. A dialog will open with a lot of settings, leave them at default and hit ok. Start by using File->Import to import your texture into VTFEdit. If you haven't already, download VTFEdit. Converting to VTF (skip to #2 if you already have) Simply point the $basetexture and $basetexture2 paths to the path of the texture in the GCF (relative to "root\tf\materials") *Thanks to Ravidge for pointing this out: You don't need to extract the VTFs from the GCF if you're not going to edit them at all.
I will be using the team colored dev textures. If you extracted them with GCFScape*, they should already be in VTF format, if not, I will show you how to convert them. Enough chatter! Tutorial time.įirst, you will need two textures to blend.
This tutorial assumes only basic mapping and VMT knowledge. So I looked at Valve's examples and made a tutorial. You know those cool materials that you can use on displacements to blend between two different textures? Well, I looked around for a tutorial on how to make them, but found nothing. Ok lemme type this all out again and hopefully I don't accidentally close my browser this time.
