Can I use this?:
-XSI Mod Tool
-VTFEdit
-Internet
-GuiStudioMdl, Vtex, Etc.

yes, but i really recommend learning to get simple things into source before you make things like ragdolls, ect.

XSI mod tool just failed at making a model.
Does anyone have a text tutorial on how to make a Gmod model in Blender?

[Deunan]

how did XSI fail at making a model?
keep in mind the concepts behind modelling are more or less the same across all programs. Also VTFedit is not a texturing program - it's for auditing VTF files. You need something like GIMP to actually edit the stuff.
