This part of the process is usually a roadblock. In Choose Model file grab your garrus.mdl and in the output put it in the same folder. Take your mdldecompiler and move the executable to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\da1barker\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin" and or " C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\da1barker\sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin" Now open your mdldecompiler and uncheck Use Steam File Access. Pray this will freakin decompile correctly ok. The fist line should read "IDST0" change it to "IDST," save and close notepad++. Go to the downloaded "me2models\ME2Models\models\slash\garrus" Here you will see a garrus.mdl file.

Mine is here: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010\plugins" FYI I use windows 7 and max 2010 so messing with anything not in the Program Files (86x) to work is unexpected. Ok lets get the garrus model into 3dsmax :) To get the smd plugins to work in max put them in your plugins folder. In the materials folder add the folder tree "models"\"survivors"\"mechanic". In the models folder add a folder named "survivors". Now add the folders "materials" and "models".

Inside there make a text document and title it "addoninfo" paste this text with instead of my username and website. My main folder for this project will be named "garrus mechanic replacement" but you can name it whatever. Ok so lets setup our folder for an easy way of editing it. Now you don't need to start with a premade character you can start from scratch but I'm lazy. I'm thinking Garrus from ME2 would be cool. I'm not really in the mood for creating a character from scratch so lets borrow one from.
