Source is a game engine developed by Valve. It was released in 2004 and is the successor to GoldSrc. Source has been used in games such as Half-Life 2, Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Source Engine games are relatively simple to rip, as a lot of public information about Valve's file formats are documented well.

- VTFEdit - Edits and Exports .vtf texture files.
- VTFEdit Reloaded - VTFEdit with more bug fixes and features.
- GCFScape - Allows unpacking files from .gcf and .vpk archives.
For the rest of this tutorial I am going to assume you have extracted all of the files you need from the vpks/gcfs.
Model Ripping
Crowbar
First off, you will need to rip the textures needed for the model.
Then you will need Crowbar to rip models. Simply extract the entire folder the .mdl is in from the vpk/gcf and open the .mdl in Crowbar's decompile function. (note: need to add detailed tutorial for this part)
Blender Source Tools
Blender Source Tools can simply import Source engine model files (such as .MDL files) into Blender. Follow the installation instructions to install the add-on, then select "File>Import>Source Engine Assets" and choose a format to import into Blender.
Noesis
Noesis can view the contents of an .MDL file. Right-click the file in Noesis, select "Export", change the export settings if needed, then click the "Export" button.
Texture Ripping
Texture ripping is extremely easy. Just open the .vtf files you wish to rip and just click export. VTFedit also has support for batch converting a whole folder
Sound Ripping
You just extract the .wavs and .mp3s from the archives. Pretty easy.
Map Ripping
Yes you can do this. Just open it in crafty and export it. Can give issues sometimes and occasionally won't load a texture or two, but those can be easily fixed by hand.
