VTFEdit
Legacy VTF/VMT texture and material editor for Source-engine assets. The maintained successor is VTFEdit Reloaded 2.1.10.
About VTFEdit
VTFEdit reads, creates, imports, exports and converts Valve Texture Format files and related VMT material data used by Source-engine games. It can inspect frames, faces, slices and mipmaps, but it is not a full map or level editor.
Versions
The hosted 1.3.3 EXE is a clean legacy build of the original tool. The maintained successor, VTFEdit Reloaded, currently publishes 2.1.10 with format, DPI, image and conversion fixes. New work should use the official Reloaded releases.
Compatibility
Back up original assets and match the VTF version to the target game; for example, some Source games do not accept newer VTF revisions. Test mods offline before distributing them.
