{{hlmvpp|4|nt=1}} is a community-made modification of {{hlmv|4|nt=1}} for {{source|4}} that provides an updated, feature-rich version of the model viewer. {{hlmvpp|3.1|nolink}} is made by ficool2, the same programmer that created {{hammerpp|4}}, and the two are cross-compatible. 
 
{{hlmvpp|3.1|nolink}} currently supports the following branches of the {{source|3|nt=1|nolink}}:
* {{tf2|4}}
** Various {{tf2|3.1|nolink}} Source mods such as '''Team Fortress 2 Classic''', '''Pre-Fortress 2''' and '''Open Fortress''' can make use of the {{tf2|3.1|nolink}} build by following the steps outlined in [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784234957 this guide]. This will no longer be necessary once the {{src13mp|3.1|nolink}} build is released.
* {{l4d2|4}}
* {{gmod|4}} ''(test build available [https://github.com/ImguRandom/HLMVPlusPlus/releases/tag/gmodtest here])''
 
Support for other engines/branches is planned. Current new builds being worked on may include:
* {{portal2|4}}
* {{src13mp|4}}
 
==Features==
{{note|A more indepth list of features can be found [https://github.com/ImguRandom/HLMVPlusPlus here], with even more recent changes listed in the [https://github.com/ImguRandom/HLMVPlusPlus/releases/tag/version5 most recent release].}}
* Mvscript support.
* Live VMT materials editing.
* Ability to change picmip, antialias and anistropic settings without needing to modify the {{code|dxsupport.cfg}} file to do so.
* Loading and rendering particle effects that can be attached to bones.
* Showing/hiding the bottom-third tabs pane.
* A reworked Flexes panel with pagination.
** This feature also reworks how the Flexes panel functions, removing the usage of dropdown boxes which subsequently fixes an age-old bug where changing a targeted flex via a dropdown could sometimes revert all the flex changes you had made up to that point.
* Facial flex saving via registry keys.
* Saving a screenshot with or without an automatically generated alpha channel.
** When saving a transparent screenshot of a model with an attached particle effect, the automatic generation of the alpha channel will fail to properly capture anything that uses {{code|$additive}} materials. This is due to the specific algorithm used to generate the screenshot.
** Another minor issue with transparent screenshots is that there will usually always be a couple pixels in the bottom-right hand corner of the image that will need to be manually erased.
* A new Make Video option that exports multiple TGA frames to create animated GIFs/APNGs/VTFs.
* A new cosmetic item model browser that parses the contents of the {{code|items_game.txt}} file. {{tf2|only}}
* Ability to create and place up to 4 different independent light sources and customize each light source's type (point, directional or spot), cone, color and ambient color. {{tf2|only}}
** Lights feature was intended for the {{l4d2|3.1.nolink}} build as well, but the {{l4dbranch|3.1}} doesn't seem to be able to support more than 2 light sources without causing {{hlmvpp|3.1|nolink}} to crash.
