(SFM) How to create realistic terrain models for SFM

[@atlas9852]

When trying to do the 3 part export, I don't get an option for "selected objects" only scene export and collection. Any chance you could give me a hand with that?

[@cgijoe5671]

Scene export means that you are exporting every file in the scene. If all your files are under “collection” it’ll export all your files into one file called “collection” To export selected files, just select the files, make sure they aren’t in the collection by dragging them out of it, then export

Thank you for making this tutorial m8

Hey, at 8:15 you seem to have applied the normal map of the rock or the material Is this necessary? and if so how do you do it?

[@The_Shoebill3D]

Tried to do this by following the tutorial, and looking at your qc's from the terrain pack. It has been 2 days and I am constantly on the verge of having an aneurysm, and keep fucking up. God I'm bad at this lol

[@cgijoe5671]

What’s the issue you’re having

[@The_Shoebill3D]

@@cgijoe5671 I presume that I messed up naming something along the line, but I couldn't tell what after 2 days of on and off trouble shooting. I'm planning on trying again over the weekend.

[@The_Shoebill3D]

@@cgijoe5671 Managed to do it right this time, It wasn't the qc at all, it was the naming... and an almost empty .vmt lol. I eventually realized I could just look at your vmts in your terrain pack, and then an hour later I had my sand model!

Like the new character

[@margarinoslav]

You never really explained what to do in the vmt file, because you were troubleshooting its name...

[@idontlikethis980]

Fucking great video mate

[@jameshenry7286]

i never got a vmt file.

[@gme4992]

HI Joe i dont have the qc file?

[@hassa547]

amazing

[@muratmertgorgul]

dude i cant fix this material problem help me pls

[@cgijoe5671]

The name of the vmt has to be the same as the material name in blender. The vmt has to be in the exact folder directory as you’ve set up in the qc file with cdmaterials. If all of these are true, open up your console, and look for something that says “material (whatever your material name is) could not be found”

Do I have to use a specific version of Crowbar?

[@cgijoe5671]

The latest version, yes

[@magnemerstrand2289]

Where do I download better models instead of the crap off of the workshop?

[@cgijoe5671]

I like to check sfm lab every day to see if anything useful has been posted there. Other than that, I’d recommend joining the sfm discord and checking their resource channel

[@magnemerstrand2289]

Thank you!

[@cgijoe5671]

reuploaded, editing problems and all that shiz

[@idontlikethis980]

May I ask if you have a link to get crowbar safely because I know theirs a lot of fake ones and I don't really want to risk it.
