| When you compile a model for the [[Source]] engine, the names of the textures ([[TGA|targa (.tga)]] images) are referred to by a material shader ([[VMT|.vmt]]) file, instead of being used directly. Here is an example of a simple [[VMT]] file:
| | {{LanguageBar}} |
|
| |
|
| <pre>
| |
| "VertexLitGeneric"
| |
| {
| |
| "$basetexture" "models/Humans/Female/naomi_facemap"
| |
| }
| |
| </pre>
| |
|
| |
|
| This file simply specifies the [[Shader Types and Parameters|shader type]] <code>(VertexLitGeneric)</code> and includes a link to the image source, which is in the compressed [[VTF|.vtf]] image format.
| | For an overview of materials and their creation, see [[:Category:Material System]]. |

|
| When using the [[XSI Mod Tool]] to produce models that will run in the Source engine, place your textures into the Source SDK directories provided when you installed the SDK. See [[SDK Directory Structure]] for more information on these directories.

|
| Using this structure, you can refer to the targa (.tga) files in the <code>materialsrc/models</code> tree when you texture the model in XSI. When you compile or load the model into the Source engine or tools, it will refer to the .vmt files in the <code>materials/models</code> tree.

| You can use the utility [[Vtex]] to convert targa images to our compressed .vtf format. For more information on how to create textures and use Vtex, see [[Material Creation]] and [[Vtex]].
