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.
Nothing Happens When You Hit Export
Model does not compile when you hit export. Here are some solutions.
Prop Data & Gibs Rollout
This rollout lets you assign prop_data values to your prop so that it can be used as a prop_physics in Source. YOu can also assign custom Gibs models with this rollout.
Snap Verts To Grid Modifier
The Snap Verts To Grid Modifier snaps all the vertices in the object to the world grid based on the grid spacing settings in the modifier.
Exporting WWMT Models to GoldSource
Information on requirements to export and compile WWMT Models from 3ds Max into Goldsource.
WWMT Level of Detail Model List
This rollout displays all of the LOD (Level of Detail) models in your model. Inside this rollout you can select the helpers that control LOD switch distances, vertex count percentages and add/append models to your LOD models.
OSL: Lightmapped_4Wayblend
The Lightmapped_4Wayblend OSL map allows you to render 4way blends for props.
Bad Texture Alignment on Brush Geometry and Displacements
Fixed in VMF Exporter 1.21 (WWMT 1.768)
The current VMF Exporter does not yet export the correct texture alignment, rotation and scaling on brush geometry and displacements.
Generating LODs
The Level of Detail Generator on the Level of Detail Tools Rollout lets you generate LOD models from the root mesh. The tool will make lower-res versions of your model so that less polygons are rendered in-game when players move farther away.
