If you're a fan of the popular game Garry's Mod, you might want to try importing some of the game's models into Blender. Here's how to do it:

  1. First, you'll need to download the model files you want to import. You can find these online, or you can extract them from the game files using a program like GCFScape.

  2. Once you have the model files, open Blender and go to File > Import > Wavefront (.obj).

  3. In the Import dialog, select the model file you want to import and click Open.

  4. The model should now be imported into Blender. You can rotate and zoom in on it to get a better look.

  5. To animate the model, go to the Animation tab and select the action you want to perform. For example, you can click and drag on the model to make it walk or run.

  6. When you're finished, go to File > Export > Wavefront (.obj) to export the model file.

Q: How do you extract models in GMod?

A: There are a few ways to extract models from Garry's Mod. One way is to use the built-in Model Extractor tool. This can be found in the Tools menu, under Model Extractor.

Another way is to use a third-party tool such as GMX Extractor. This is a standalone program that can be downloaded and used to extract models from Garry's Mod.

Finally, you can use the console command "gm_save" to export the models of any props in the map to your computer.

After opening the model, select the "File" menu and select "Export". In the Export menu, select the "Source Engine" option and then select the "SMD" format. Finally, select the "Export SMD" button and choose a location to save the file.
