You will need to recreate them yourself. Using the exact files is a violation of Copyright Laws

as far as I know when I buy the game I can use them as long as I dont say I did it myself and credit valve. also if you copy them by recreating you are also violating copyright laws

You bought the right to play the game, not the right to the intellectual property within the game.

If you create something similar to the textures in question, it is not the same because you can't reproduce it 100% which essentially means it's not violating any laws.

In Portal only

Nope, still a violation once you distribute them as you are then distributing copyrighted matierial without the owner's permission to users who may or may not have the right to use them (ie, users without Portal cannot use them)

No. If you create a similar model from scratch using the Portal models as inspiration, you are fine as you will never get it 100% identical (GoldSrc cannot render models as well as Source).
