$model (QC)

Specifies a reference SMD file to be used as part of a complex model. Simple models (including all $staticprops) should use $body.

Usage

$model <name> "<reference_model>.smd"

<name>

A unique identifier for this model.

<reference_model>

Path to a reference.smd, relative to $cd.

Simple example

$model "Shell" "shell.smd"

eyeball

<name> : Name of eyeball, used to match eyelid rules. For humans, use righteye: and lefteye:.

<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 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 materialMaterial to use as the iris texture.

pupil_scale: World scale of the iris texture.

eyelid

<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_name>.vta" : The name of the file to find the morph targets.

lowerer <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.

neutral <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.

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.
