    I'm trying to export a model from Blender to the CSGO SDK and I was looking for studiomdl and couldn't find it. Turns out I can't find any mdl files in my browser. I can look at them in the Model Viewer in the SDK but if I go up a level in the file browser then back down, all the mdl files disappear again. Hidden folders are being shown and I haven't found anything about where to find these models online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The game's stock-models are stored in container-files (*.gcf). The SDK-tools can read those. If you want to access your model-files directly you would have to extract them from the gcf. But you dont need to do that it you just want to use a model in a map.

    Your studiomdl should be in a subdirectory "bin". If you havn't allready you should check out vdc. There is also an article on making models in Blender.

    I hope this helps a little.
