$cdmaterials is a QC command available in all 
Source games.
It defines the folders in which the game will search for the model's materials (subfolders are not searched). Each path is relative to <game>/materials/.
It is traditional to specify the models/ subfolder before any others, to prevent the materials from appearing in Hammer.
Tip:Material filenames are defined by the reference mesh ($body or $model).Tip:By default, models can have no more than 32 different material search paths. Confirm:It appears that if this parameter is null ($cdmaterials ""), then the full file path is written from the source SMD files. This behavior can be observed in the version of Propper that is integrated into older versions of Hammer++.Syntax
$cdmaterials <path> <path 2> [...]
Multiple $cdmaterials lines can also be used, like so
$cdmaterials <path1> $cdmaterials <path2>
Example
$modelname "weapons/shell.mdl" $cdmaterials "models/weapons/" $body shell "shell_ref" $sequence idle "shell_idle"
