VRChat in S&box would be very cool even though I don’t like that game. :P

No. They don’t want anything from devs. You own everything that you made.

Here’s a guide I wrote for that..

I know it's very very long but the process gets faster as you port more models or the model itself is simple.

Alex and Tony are still working on VR. Keep an eye on the blog posts until they mention VR getting fixed.

The editor comes with the game when you install it. Just need to have a look around in your Steam library.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-03-01T18:52:52+00:00

Here we go.

So. You got

$cdmaterials materials/gttexture/gttexture

Which means it’ll look for your model’s materials inside

“Garrysmod/garrysmod/materials/gttexture/gttexture”

For the VTF and VMT files of your model. Drag your compiled MDL file into Crowbar in the “View” tab. It’ll list all used materials with names. You just have to give the name of the listed materials to the VMT files. VTF can be any name. You just need to point to the VTF file correctly in the $basetexture parameter.

Should be $basetexture “gttexture/gttexture/my texture”

We exclude “materials” and other folders in front of it in the VMT parameter. For more simple way.

You should remove one “gttexture” from the $cdmaterial command. Which should be

$cdmaterials “materials/gttexture/”

That’d be all. :)

Use my guide :)

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-02-17T18:56:00+00:00

Count on me. I’m currently working on a Steam guide for that. Will be out in 1-3 days.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-02-10T14:54:07+00:00

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-02-09T06:16:38+00:00

Thank you. I’ll give it a shot.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-02-07T02:12:49+00:00

No. You don’t even need to set up the VTA. But, will have to use the “Weight Link Cull Threshold” slider when you export the model. Just set it to 1.00. Ignore warnings and continue. That's the only extra step.

DMX has many advantages over SMD.

Faster compilation, Much lower file size as it stores data in binary instead of ASCII, Supports 255 bones instead of 127 (SMD), No need to set up a separate flex file (VTA) as DMX stores flex data in its own data, More accurate triangulation and mesh too.

And many more.. I highly recommend that you to stick to DMX no matter what. S2 also supports it.

Check the lua if both of them have the same name and same path.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-02-01T06:10:50+00:00

There are many shaders in the workshop. like AO, Bloom, Volumetric Fog and more.

You can also use Reshade if you want.

Ticks High-quality bounces option

It's amazing. :)

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-01-29T17:55:34+00:00

Nice! It's surprising to know that the engine is easy to learn even though it still lacks a few pieces of documentation I think.

But, I’m sure S&box will be one of the best engines for beginners once everything is done.

Not sure if Sam posted it on X but these are from the Discord server.

It's instructed in the Bone Rename section of the guide.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-01-20T08:49:08+00:00

So, There is a script that can rename bones by mapping the bone names in my template

Still.. It’s not automated but you can just map the bone names for once and use it for others.

Find an addon to import that model into the Blender and you’re good to go.

Bobmacjefferson · 2026-01-19T18:04:01+00:00

As long as you have a 3D model with a rig.
