{{this is a|point entity|<!--sprite=1-->|name=env_model|game=Day of Defeat|game1=Cry of Fear|game2=Paranoia|game3=SoHL}}

It is used to place a model (usually an [[MDL (GoldSrc)|MDL]]) on a map, with optional animation and ''no collision''. In the official [[FGD]] file it is descibed as a "new alternative to cyclers".
{{modernImportant|Env_models do not have any collision, and will not cast shadows with normal compilers. {{workaround|A few options:
* Create a brush-based collision mesh and tie it to a {{ent|func_wall (GoldSrc)|alt=func_wall}} with {{code|renderamt}} set to 0 (aka invisible) ZHLT light flags to "Opaque", and {{code|zhlt_striprad}} set to 1 (aka enabled). This will also cast lightmap shadows, unless alphatest ({{code|{}}) textures are used.{{note|Will use up an extra [[edict]]; use sparingly.}}
* Use NULL brushes on a func_detail, and ensure the env_model's origin is not inside of the brushes.
* Use clip brushes. Note that clip brushes can be shot through, so this should only be done for certain niche situations. Additionally, this method will not cast lightmap shadows.{{note|NULL and clip brushes will use the default footstep sounds when stepped on; the func_wall method should be used for non-concrete surfaces, such as tanks or sandbags.}} }} }}
