How to export GTA IV Models To Obj and other formats blender supports.

[Oborlex]

Ok. Sorry if i don't tell instructions good because im not very good at telling instructions
First you gotta have Blender, Spark IV, And Blender SMD Tools.
Extract the model you want to use from Spark IV. In this case i will be extracting a Whiz High Speed Mobile Phone
 Click the plus sign right by drawable and it should lead to a dropdown menu.
Check all of these (including drawable) and then click the export button.
after we've done that we will open blender.
remember to delete the block using the scene collector.
i reccomend watching a tutorial on how to install blender addons such as this one to get a idea on how to install them
then you are going to click file 




and then you will hover over

import



click Source Engine (.smd .vta .dmx .qc)

import your model 






(how to export)


hover over export (just like you did with import

click whatever format you would like to export your model to (in this case i will use obj



click it and save it to where ever you want!

sorry if this tutorial was bad or if you didnt like it, Message me if you need help

bye
Happy 13th Birthday GTA IV

note: You cannot use this for importing models into GTA IV. This is only for exporting ingame models.

edit: For some models you may wanna delete the "skeleton"

Important to note that this doesn't work with anything that has an armature. Vertex groups break completely.

When I do this the textures don't get exported with it...

When I exported the model and wanted to apply textures but they were applied incorrectly, what should I do?
