Blender Plumber 1.0.1 – Source Engine Importer 2024 Download
A Blender addon for importing Source 1 engine maps, models, materials and textures.
This addon makes it possible to import full CS:GO, TF2, CS:S or other Source 1 game maps into Blender. Source 2 games, such as CS2, are not supported. The imported maps have accurate materials and overlays and correctly placed props and lights. Skyboxes are converted into a Blender-compatible format and 3D skyboxes can be easily transformed into the correct position and scale with minimal user intervention. No manual game file extraction is required and installed Source games on Steam are detected automatically. You just need to select the correct game and start importing.
Supported file types are .vmf, .mdl, .vmt and .vtf. For a more complete overview of supported features, see Supported features for imported assets.
