Miscellaneous Anvil Tools
An overview and explanation of several functions included in the Miscellaneous tab of Anvil.
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.
Displacement Proxies
Displacement Proxies allow teams to work more efficiently with displacements in multiple files.
Displacement Texture Scale Sometimes Incorrect
Understanding Displacement Blend Texture Scale
This page explains one cause for displacement materials to be scaled incorrectly in Source as well as the solution. You should use bitmaps of equal dimensions in both materials controlling the Blend material.
Unexpected Model Orientation in VMF Exporter
Fixed in WWMT 1.772
The orientation of models in the QC Generator has been flipped on the Z-axis and the VMF Exporter is also rotated to accomodate this result. You may need to recompile models compiled before the 1.772 update.
Understanding How to Set Up Paths
Many new users of WWMT find themselves confused when it comes to the setup of WWMT. This is primarily because there are some specific paths you must set correctly for the automation of WWMT to work.
Nothing Happens When You Hit Export
Model does not compile when you hit export. Here are some solutions.
Why are Models Appearing as Cubes?
When reopening a scene the models can appear as cubes if the game settings do not include paths to the source MDL files.
This document explains why models can appear as cubes instead of props when importing VMF or MDL nodes.
Collision Model & Physics
The Collision Model & Physics rollout in WWMT. Assign a collision hull, create a hull with the Quick Hull function and use advanced features such as the Convexity Hull Wrapper.
