Overview

TF2Ls for Unity (or TF2 Libraries/Loaders for Unity) is a collection of editor tools that help streamline the porting and usage of Valve assets in the development of Unity games.

This set of tools is a collection of existing scripts from past community developers packed together and given a very friendly user interface. Things that required too many mouse clicks, minutes, and headaches can now be done in seconds!

What's Included

TF2 Shaders for the Built-in Render Pipeline that support paint and translucency

A mesh skeleton switcher that allows for the easy parenting of item/cosmetic/weapon rigs to character skeletal meshes

A model texturing tool that automatically reads .VMT files, generates new material assets, converts associated .VTFs into .TGAs and finally applies them to a mesh. All in one press!

Coming Soon

• A helper component that facilitates use of texture-based eye movement. Gizmos/handlers to control where irises are looking included
• Automatic .vpk ripping for specific assets by reading vmts
• Integration of local item schema
• Native import of VMTs as Unity materials via a ScripttedImporter
• Change default TF2 shader to your own shader based on the Valve shader being loaded

Credits

• VTF import functionality is done in the backend using VTFLib Neil "Jed" Jedrzejewski and Ryan "Nemesis" Gregg under the GPL and LGPL licenses.
• VMT parsing is done using scripts from Frassle's Ibasa library under the MIT license.
• TF2 shader implementation by the contributions of various Unity forums forums. I use a self-modified version that adds paint support.
