How does the VTF get compiled into the MDL file?

The model QC files and QC Commands docs don't contain any reference to the VTF (or TGA or VMT). If that's correct, how does the VTF get built into the MDL ? It doesn't appear to be part of the SMD data. Unsigned comment added by Beeswax (talkcontribs) Always sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)

It is part of the SMD. The texture is defined for every polygon so that the first of the two rows of data per poly is always the texture filename. The surface material is also defined in the QC. Jupix 15:26, 5 Nov 2007 (PST)
