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!
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!

- 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
- 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.
