$model (VMT)

$model flags a material for use on models, rather than a brush. Its exact effects are unclear.

Tip:Remember that the basic shader type for models is VertexLitGeneric, not LightmappedGeneric.

Warning:Using multiple materials on the same model reduces performance. If you can, combine everything into one.

Note:Models materials should be stored in materials/models/. The QC command $cdmaterials can be used to specify further subfolders.

Example

$model 1
