$body

From Valve Developer Community

The QC command $body is used to add a reference mesh to a model. Without at least one $body the model will be invisible (exception: models with facial animation use $model instead).

Syntax

$body	<name> <reference mesh SMD>

Example

$modelname		"weapons/shell.mdl"
$cdmaterials		"models/weapons/"
$body		shell	"shell_ref.smd"
$sequence	idle	"shell_idle.smd"

• $lod, for lowering detail at a distance
• $bodygroup, for managing multiple $bodys
• $model, for facial animation
