Steam weapon skin help

Whenever I got into the SDK Launcher in a games bin folder and try to open  a .MDL file to open it, It just says "weapon_m4a1.mdl could not be found"  How do I fix this problem?  Or is there a way to convert a .MDL file into something I could open in c4d?

 

Thanks

no idea what an .MDL file is but i could assume you could rename it as weapon.MDL.txt and open it as a text file. if thats what your looking for.

A .MDL file is a 3d model file, so renaming it to .txt won't help.  But thanks though! :D

ah, that is very far out of my abilities. good luck!

SDK launcher? I'm not sure about that, but what about trying to open it in a different 3d modeling software? You may need a certain driver to open the file.

Downloading programs from CNet is not a good idea, as they will commonly include unwanted, and sometimes dangerous bloatware... The more you know.

Yeah, you launch the SDK launcher and go into the model viewer,  thats what all the youtube videos show on how to make skins.  It's just that for some reason when I click to open the .mdl file it says it can not be found.  And when I tryed to open the .mdl file in c4d, the file type was not supported.
