HELP: Importing Custom Textures

[lil' hova]

What's the quickest easiest way to import textures into Hammer?
In Unreal all you do is click import and you're done.
According to some of these tutorials you have to convert, compile, and code and do a bunch of other things that start with "C"
I'm hoping nowadays there is a good program or something that makes it really quick and easy to do?
Or a tutorial with an easier method?
Thanks.

download the photoshop plugin from nemisis (i think its there) then you can make em in photoshop and save them as vft... but you still have to copy or write a vmf file... its an easy job don't worry you'll find out.
if not lemme know i'll direct you to some tuts or write one
