How to make textures in SFM
By KonstantinaTheCat
Hello

Today we will learn how to make textures in SFM and how to add them to your model.
So lets start

It's my first Tutorial, so please do not hate
Advices are welcome

What we need:
- SourceFilmMaker(SFM)
- Gimp(with a .vtf plugin)* or a special .VTF editor programme - Gimp is free :)
- Model(IMPORTANT: ALLOWED TO BE RECOLOURED/EDITED)
- Patience

*if your version of that has that plugin

Try to make them step by step(for calm)
So how to make them:

1. Download and instal SFM
2. Download ALLOWED TO EDIT model f.e. Splinks Premangle(ToyFoxy)
3. Download and instal the .VTF editor programme
4. If you have that all, so go to your Steam folder(where you have installed them) and find:
Steam/Steamapps/Common/SourceFilmMaker/game/workshop/materials/models/*name of the folder where the model is f.e. Splinks*
5. Go to the Splinks Folder and find "Premangle"(or how it called) and find .vtf f.e. head.vtf
6. Click the head and wait until the programme will load
7. Draw/recolour/edit or other on this texture
8. If you finished, save the file as f.e. head1.vtf and add to the Splinks Premangle Folder(recommended)
9. Turn on the SFM
10. Wait until all with load(even if you want to choose a map, wait until ALL of the maps load)
11. Choose a map
12. Choose a model(wait too) f.e. Splinks Premangle
13. After, click the left side(the AnimationSet thing) and click on the premangle name(with the green logo) with the right mouse click
14. if you clicked, choose "add override materials", click again and find "Show in element Viewer" and choose model
15. After you will see some infos, click "materials" and find the part that you are interested to change f.e. head
16. iIf you found the part, so click on it and right click, "add artribute" , choose string and write $basetexture
17. If you did it, you will get a "sentence"($basetexture), so click it, on the next you will get a blank sentence(under the models/splinks thing) and the head will be untextured(pink and black)
18. In the Blank try to write the track of the texture f.e. models\splinks\fnaf2\premangle\head1 and click Enter
19. If the head changed, so it shows that the texture works
20. Enjoy


Some things:
- Not all model's textures are like Splinks Premangle's(a full part), some are partialy f.e. snout, leg, head
- EDIT ONLY ALLOWED TO THAT
- Read and respect the model rules
- Always try to be patient
- The head texture visible on the prev. pic is from my character Lizzy ;)

I hope I could help
I tried my best

Enjoy
