+The <code>$model</code> command appears twice:
-The [[VMT command]] [[$model]] flags this material for use on models rather than brushwork. It is necessary for all materials applied to models.
-* Remember that the shader type for models is always [[VertexLitGeneric]], but [[UnlitGeneric]], [[Refract]] and some other shaders should work too.
-* Note that [[VMT]]s for models should be placed in the <code>game_directory/materials/models</code> folder relative to <code>game_directory/models/your.mdl</code>.
-: It's also good form to throw your .[[TGA]] in there as well, to make it easier for modders to create new skins for your model.
-* Try to keep the skin for each model entirely in one texture; using multiple textures on a model is a resource hog.
-* See also [[Materials for models]]

-The [[QC command]] [[$model]] specifies a reference [[SMD]] file to be used as part of this model.
-* Used mainly for characters when the model needs complex parameters like eyes, flexes etc. In other cases, use [[$body]].
-* See also: [[Qc eyes]] (helpful SDK tool) and [[Eye Position Setup]].
-== QC syntax ==
- $model "<name>" "<reference_model>.smd"
-where
-; <name>
-: can be any thing as it is only used in [[HLMV]].
-; <reference_model>
-: is the path to a reference.smd, relative to the [[$cd|current path]].
-== QC example ==
- $modelname "weapons/shell.mdl"
- $cdmaterials "models/weapons/"
- '''$model "Shell" "shell.smd"'''

-; [[eyeball]] "<name>" "<bone_name>" <X> <Y> <Z> "<material_name>" <diameter> <angle> "<iris_material>" <pupil_scale>:
-:* '''<name>''' Name of eyeball, used to match eyelid rules.
-:* '''<bone_name>''' Name of bone that the eye is parented to, typically the head.
-:* '''<X> <Y> <Z>''' World location of the center of the ball of the eye.
-:* '''<material_name>''' Material name to use when searching for vertices to consider as the "white" of the eye <used in dynamically texture mapping the iris and cornea onto the eye>.
-:* '''<diameter>''' Diameter of the ball of the eye.
-:* '''<angle>''' Default yaw offset from "forward" for iris. Humans are typically 2-4 degrees [[Wikipedia:Strabismus|wall-eyed]]. Not setting this correctly will result in either your characters appearing cross-eyed, or if you've compensated by misplacing the ball of the eye, them not tracking side to side. <iris material>Material to use as the iris texture.
-:* '''<pupil_scale>''' World scale of the iris texture.
-; [[eyelid]] "<name>" "<expression_file>" lowerer/neutral/raiser <frame> <height> split <distance> eyeball "<eyeball_name>":
-:* '''<name>''' Base name of the eyelid flexcontroller. This is combined with the "lowerer", "neutral", and "raiser" options to build the piecewise blend positions of the eyelid.
-:* '''<expression_file>''' The name of the file to find the morph targets.
-:* '''lowerer/neutral/raiser <frame> <height>''' One of the three options, the frame number in the <expression_file>, and the distance above or below the center of the pupil that polygon edge of the eyelid crosses the white of the eye.
-:* '''split <distance>''' Where to start, on the opposite side of the "0" line, for finding vertices that belong to this eyelid morph target.
-:* '''eyeball <eyeball_name>''' Name of the eyeball that will drive this eyelid's flexcontroller.
