Thanks man, very helpful, I always kept going to other videos but gave me the complicated way, but this is way more simple.

First of all you are an excellent teacher. Your tutorials are really easy to understand. My question is that can you import models into SFM from other games ? I am thinking about doing a poster with Scout (TF2) and D.VA (Overwatch). Can you mix models ?

[@sk_form]

Hey thank you, yes you can mix models in SFM. Within the SFM workshop you can find and subscribe to models you feel like using. steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=1840

doesnt work for me

[@YourAverageBrazilian]

you saved my ass

[@thedarkestdarklink3150]

but what if you want to change the black?

[@s_callahan]

Ghostly Gibus doesn't have materials in the element viewer

[@sk_form]

Are you sure? I took a look at it and it does, ensure you first "Add Override Material" before going to element viewer, that may be your issue.

[@s_callahan]

@@sk_form Oh okay thanks!

[@Shade_Lotas]

so the minute I get to the color swatch to pick a color it doent really change...
im missing the $colortintbase
______EDIT______
im just manually painting the VTF Textures

[@2fort]

it doesnt seem to work with the scotsmans stove pipe, pls help

[@sk_form]

I looked into it and it didnt work with me either, it looks like it has broken textures, which in sfm the paintable section of the texture is black and blocks off the ability to be painted. Here's a tutorial on how to fix broken textures: ruclips.net/video/9fBgG2jOlUI/видео.html

[@fluke7506]

if you see this. my skins paintable parts show up black when i add them to my charcter. no mattor what color i set it to it stays black. know a fix?

[@sk_form]

Hi, that means the texture of the cosmetic is broken and unpaintable, there are fixes regarding this on youtube, heres a link for one on how to fix it: m.ruclips.net/video/9fBgG2jOlUI/видео.html

1:17 I have a question how to create this groups?

[@sk_form]

There is a gear icon on the top right of the Procedural tab, click that gear, then enable "show scene hierarchy", from there if you select a bunch of models, you can right click them, and group them, here's a guide someone made:

@@sk_form Okay Thank you so much

[@pyrofromtf2]

This does not work for Rusty Reaper, can you help?

[@sk_form]

The Rusty Reaper may have a broken texture, I checked the workshop but it doesnt look like there are fixes for it, heres a video that explains how to fix broken SFM textures, which look black, or cannot be painted: ruclips.net/video/2Qwt-cjrvu8/видео.html

[@pyrofromtf2]

@@sk_form ok, thanks. I fixed it.
