Textures Not Showing Up On Custom Playermodel

[acode7]

I am working on a custom playermodel and I have the texture file but when I go in game there is no texture on it.

This is a screenshot of the texture file:

What's the path of the material, how did you create the model QC, what's your vmts, something useful?

QC:
$modelname "models\feathers.mdl"
$scale 20
$body mybody "feathers-ref.smd"
$staticprop
$surfaceprop flesh
$cdmaterials "materials\models"

$sequence idle "feathers-ref.smd"

$collisionmodel "feathers_collision.smd" { $concave }

vmt:

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
$basetexture models\feathers\featherstexture
$surfaceprop flesh
"$halflambert" 1

[Rubat]

$cdmaterials	"materials\models"

You ask the game to look for materials in [b]"materials/materials/models"[/b]

$basetexture models\feathers\featherstexture

but you put your materials into [b]"materials/models/feathers/".[/b]

$basetexture models\feathers\featherstexture

but you put your materials into [b]"materials/models/feathers/".[/b][/QUOTE]

so what would the new qc and vmt look like?

Take a wild guess. Read my message thoroughly, try to understand what the problem is exactly (which I already told you), experiment around. I am sure if you got at least some common sense, you will get it in no time.

I don't want to give you an straight answer because you will never learn that way.

$sequence idle "feathers-ref.smd"

$collisionmodel "feathers_collision.smd" { $concave }

I tried that but it didn't work

Because it will try to find materials/models/feathers/<whatever texture your model uses>.vmt

And your material links to materials/models/feathers.vtf texture

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
$basetexture models\feathers\featherstexture.vtf
$surfaceprop flesh
"$halflambert" 1
}

$modelname "models\feathers.mdl"
$scale 20
$body mybody "feathers-ref.smd"
$staticprop
$surfaceprop flesh
$cdmaterials "models\feathers\featherstexture.vmt"

$sequence idle "feathers-ref.smd"

$collisionmodel "feathers_collision.smd" { $concave }

would this be correct

[G😹nz😻]

extensions aren't require, remove featherstexture from cdmaterials and .vtf in vmt

[acode7]

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;52482417]extensions aren't require, remove featherstexture from cdmaterials and .vtf in vmt[/QUOTE]

I fixed that, but it still isn't working

[G😹nz😻]

then featherstexture is not the material name

[acode7]

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;52482667]then featherstexture is not the material name[/QUOTE]

but it is though

[Bizz]

have an example.

Material location: models/fallout_4/Actors/Deathclaw/deathclaw.vmt

"VertexLitGeneric"
{
	"$baseTexture" "models/fallout_4/Actors/Deathclaw/deathclaw_d"
	"$bumpmap" 	"models/fallout_4/Actors/Deathclaw/deathclaw_n"

	"$phong" 1
	"$phongboost" 0.4
	"$phongexponent" 20
	"$phongtint" "[1 1 0.4]"
	"$phongfresnelranges" "[.2 .2 1]"

	"$model" 1
	
	"$envmap"	"env_cubemap"
	"$envmaptint"	"0.2"
	
}

Here is my CDMaterials

$cdmaterials "models\fallout_4\Actors\Deathclaw\"

just think about it, if CDMaterials is set to "models\fallout_4\Actors\Deathclaw\" and my material file is named "deathclaw", which is the same as what surface my model has in 3DS max, how do you think yours should look?

If it's not a VMT issue, maybe it's an issue with your model/SMD. Did you make sure too apply the right surface name to your model?
if you have, ignore the rest of this, otherwise It's important that in whatever 3D program you used, you name the surface of the model the same as whatever the name of your vmt file. For instance, in 3DS max with my deathclaw, using the material editor I select the Deathclaw model and name it "deathclaw" like so:

If you used blender or something though, I can't really help. There's probably enumerable amount of tutorials for that if you look though.
