Category:QC Commands is a glossary index of commands or parameters available for use in writing a QC file.

A QC file is a text-based script which instructs Studiomdl.exe how to compile an MDL model from an SMD file. The extension stands for "Quake C", the programming and scripting language from which the Valve Data File format was originally derived.

A QCI file is a reusable or generic block of QC commands intended for use as an (optional) $include. You don't have to use the QCI files, but it can save a lot of work when appropriate.

Many example .qc and .qci files can be found under sourcesdk_content/hl2/modelsrc.

Warning: QC command documentation is far from complete. Please see category_talk:QC Commands for a list of suspects.
