VMT ( .vmt) files are associated with the Source engine created by Valve Software. The Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the Source SDK (Software Development Kit) are what typically create VMT files. The Source engine is a 3D game engine used in various video game series, such as Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source and Portal. VMT files are material definition files and provide instructions to the Source engine on how to make teams and surfaces look attractive.
VMT files contain information such as surface properties, textures used for surfaces and lighting, as well as certain effects that give various materials an attractive appearance. The data stored in VMT files is usually generated by 3D model programs like Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, or Blender. They can also be created manually using a text editor.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VMT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VMT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VMT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VMT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VMT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VMT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VMT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VMT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VMT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VMT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
