As you may know i am making a Portal 2 Mod and i need to be able to edit the Portal Gun Model as well as create a custom skin for it. I have Maya 2015.

Sicklebrick has a great tutorial on portal gun texture editing. (BTW I couldn't get the texture patcher to work, just use the prepatched one in the download)

Also worth mentioning - VTFEdit and GCFScape are impossible to get working the first time, but they are VERY IMPORTANT, so just install as many Visual Studio runtimes as you can get your hands on and cross your fingers

I'm imagining model replacement is similar, although I haven't tried it. Probably just replacing a different file with dlc3.

VTFedit is useless to me i have the VTF Plugin for Gimp. I still need help creating a new model.
