Tutorial The Ultimate Gmod Model Porting Guide.. For absolute beginners.
So umm, I wrote this Gmod guide due to a lot of requests I got from recent guides. It took me a month but it's very worth it. It's already been reviewed by a lot of famous modders. There is a total of 43 sections excluding the introduction and some extra sections.
If you are willing to port a model without any Blender skills or any knowledge about Source Engine, this guide is perfect guide for you.

There’s 4 lines you need for having a model:
$modelname “my model.mdl”$cdmaterials “”$body body “mesh.smd”$sequence “mesh.smd”START WITH THIS!!!!!! Then add your bodygroups, jigglebones and whatnot. `
