Compile Errors
Compiling your assets for Source sometimes generates errors. This page lists categories for finding solutions to compile problems.
Vtex.exe - ERROR: Can't convert image from RGBA8888 to DXT1 in CalcLowResImage
This error occurs if you are trying to compile an image that has a dimension that isn't a Power of 2.
Studiomdle.exe - vstdlib.dll is missing
This is a common error that you'll get after a Steam update. The simple fix is to restart Steam and Source SDK.
Random Elements
Random Elements Modifier lets you randomize position, rotation and scale of geometry or UVs at the element level.
Making $jigglebones in 3ds Max for Source
$jigglebones are bones that can automatically generate secondary motion without being animated. Making a $jigglebone in WWMT requires you to use the hierarchy tab in the command panel, which may be a new area for less experienced modelers.
Studiomdl.exe - Model has 2-dimensional geometry
Relates also to: Error with convex elements of Mesh
This error is usually caused by models having a $concave flag that do not have proper collision hulls.
