Simple Static Model Importer – Instantly Import Any Static Model into Gmod (Utility)

You can download any model from Sketchfab, Aplaybox, Bowroll and instantly import it into Garry’s Mod as physics props with this addon without restarting your game.

This addon does real-time import of any static models from PMX, OBJ, GLB/GLTF, and FBX into Garry’s Mod as physics props.

Select your entire textured Blender Scene, merge into 1 mesh, and export as glTF 2.0 in glb (glTF binary) format into an empty folder, then point the importer program to that folder.

Have you noticed that, unlike most modern games, you normally need to port a model into Source Engine format before you can actually use it in Garry’s Mod? That process is slow, repetitive, and difficult, which leaves the community with far fewer props to build scenes with.
Well, that is no longer the case. Here we introduce "Simple Static Model Importer" to fully address this problem.

You need to use the provided opensourced importer tool to convert supported model files into Garry’s Mod-ready mesh/material data, then spawn them in-game with the Toolgun. Download the tool here: GitHub [github.com]

This addon is for players and creators who want to bring custom static models into Garry’s Mod without going through the full Source engine model porting and compile pipeline. This addon supports models in .pmx (Polygon Model eXtended for MikuMikuDance), .fbx (Filmbox), .obj (Wavefront), and .glb/.gltf (GL Transmission Format) format, with up to 524288 vertices per material.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
