Description
After a few too many released pony with unneeded bodygroups, I figured it was high time the issue was addressed.Sweetsong was originally going to use the Fluttershy base, but for the sake of the tutorial, I went with template 4.
Sweetsong will be released later.

First, STOP YELLING!
Second, did you rig the body groups to the appropriate bones?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I HAVE EYE ISSUE SSO I TYPE LIKE THIS TO READ BETTER.
AND I THOUGHT I DID... BUT I THINK I REALIZE SOMETHING ELSE....IN 3DS MAX WHEN I IMPORT THE MAIN MODE I ADD THEM TO HIS BONES ARE LAYING DOWN......AND I TRIED TO RIG THE ONE I USED FOR THE LAST TEST TO THE "SPINE" BONE THINKING IT WOULD WORK. I DON'T KNOW IF IT DID BECAUSE LIKE I SAID IT LOOKED MESSED UP IN SFM AND I JUST FOUND OUT RECENTLY ABOUT THE BONES LAYING DOWN IN MAX...THE WIRE FRAME/MESH IS SITTING UP FINE BUT FOR SOME REASON THE BONES R NOT..DO U KNOW HOW TO FIX IT? IS THAT MY PROBLEM?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok first off, you don't load all up the bodygroups in3ds max. they're suppose to be separate files. I'd have to actually take a look at your model's files to figure out how to fix the problem exactly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
THEY R SEPARATE FILES U WANT ME TO SEND A DROP BOX RAR FILE OF THEM?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
NOW THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF EM...AND I'LL ONLY SEND U ONE PART OF THE MAIN MODEL I NEED FOR THE BASE (U'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN WHEN I PUT IT IN DROPBOX) ^^

what do you do if you want to add accessories or replace bodygroups?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's a different tutorial, but basically what you do is if you want to add a new bodygroup for an accessory, all you have to do is simply add it in to the qc before you compile.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
for V3 ponies, the qc can be found in the source files found here: www.facepunch.com/threads/1184…

How did u get a template details into notepad????
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
right click on a template pony's QC file, open with, select note pad
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm a noob sorry but wht's a qc file?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's the file used for compiling models for the source engine
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well you asked, and I told you what it was. You are aware that Gmod is on the source engine, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have no idea. Gmod 9 is not supported anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wht do mean by not supported??? I don't understand
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What it means is that official support For Garry's mod 9 was stopped once the switch to Garrys mod 10 (now at version 13) happened.
Now sine Gmod 9 was made for an older branch of the source engine it's likely that it doesn't even support the bodygroup function at all. you may want to pay the $10 to upgrade to the full gmod and get access to tons of addons plus regular updates and support for models from Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, alien Swarm, and possibly DoTA 2

how to use Template pony to Earth pony?
i can not use blank in Bodygroup wing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for that, you need to modify the smds for the phys model and the rig to remove the wings for the template you plan on using. This was something that oogaboogaman failed to see. I'll be covering this in a later tutorial, and maybe put a pack together of wingless smds for earth and unicorn ponies.
But don't hold me to that resource pack.

you may want to download the source files then.

Why all models i make with PonySource3.1 and do GUIStudioMDL shutdown gmod when i spawn it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now that, I don't know.
do they show up at all in the Model viewer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant the source SDK model viewer.
hmmm, what's the resolution of the body texture? The reason I ask is sometimes people make that texture too big when all it is is just mostly solid color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For textures is just copy original pinkie pie materials folder

I have no idea how to do any of this... Is there a tool or program?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well I tend to use GUI Studio compiler, but you may want to find a tutorial.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well apparently I don't meet the requirements for GUI Studio. I don't have the Orange Box.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It works with the Ep1 engine too. though if you own any source mutiplayer game, that counts as Orange box for the GUI interface.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well aside from gmod, what valve games do you have?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dude, those are games from teh Orange box. You meet the requirements.
Also, Gui Studio compiler is just an easier to use interface for regular Studio compiler. and to get Regular Studio compiler, just download the source SDK
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But I don't have the Half Lifes. I got Portal in a bundle with the sequel.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You don't need any half life game. With portal 1 and TF2, you can get the source SDK + the configurations for both games. you just won't have the config for the Half Life games, that's all.

Stupid question - how to decompile and compile gmod models?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Problem: When I extracted the files, and opened the mdldecompiler qc (the only qc in the folder) it doesn't show anything about bodygroups. What did I do wrong D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well first off, the qc used is from the source file pack here: [link]
Also, I didn't decomplie the template pony to get the source files, they're included in the pack.
Just download the pack from one of the 2 links under "V3.1 Source:"
the pack will have the ponies divided up into their own folders complete with a qc file in each.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Problem: Neither of the links work (Mediafire one says its damaged or encrypted, and gamefront says "file not found")

ok, here's the source files: [link]
