Todo: Complete the list of features.
HLMV++ is a community-made modification of 
Half-Life Model Viewer for 
Source that provides an updated, feature-rich version of the model viewer. HLMV++ is made by the same programmer that created 
Hammer++, and the two are cross-compatible.
HLMV++ currently supports the following branches of the Source engine:
Support for other engines/branches is planned. Current new builds being worked on include:
Features
Note:A more indepth list of features can be found here, with even more recent changes listed in the most recent release.- Live VMT materials editing.
- Ability to change picmip, antialias and anistropic settings without needing to modify the 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 any particle effects that use $additive materials.
- A new Make Video option that exports multiple TGA frames to create animated GIFs/APNGs.
- A new cosmetic item model browser that parses the contents of the items_game.txt file. (only in
) - 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. (only in )
- Lights feature was intended for the Left 4 Dead 2 build as well, but the engine doesn't seem to be able to support more than 2 light sources in Left 4 Dead 2 without causing HLMV++ to crash.
