Several example QC files can be found in sourcesdk_content\hl2\modelsrc\.
There's a great rundown of the core commands for HL1 here.

If you can, please help by creating a documentation article or two! Please remember to use only the $example_command for the title and add the QC Commands category tag to the page, ie :

[[Category:QC Commands]]

Redirect Pages

Sometimes it makes more sense to document a bunch of related commands within a single parent article. In that case, please create a Soft Redirect page for each $example_command included. eg :

Please see [[parent_article_title]]. [[Category:QC Commands]]

Please do not use Hard Redirects for $example_command pages

#REDIRECT [[parent_article_title]]. [[Category:QC Commands]]

because these will not get listed (indexed) on the QC Commands category page.

It may be useful to 'gather up' groups of QC commands that are used for 'special model features' into sub categories, to allow more topic-specific browsing of the commands. However, I would urge that sub-categorised commands are also listed in the main category, so a complete list is maintained. If anyone has any bright ideas for subcategories of QC commands please discuss here.

category:QC Keyvalues is for QC $keyvalues blocks such as Prop Data. These important QC compile parameters seem to have been 'tacked onto' the main QC format as new Source Engine features became available?
:category:QC Feature Overviews:
- Surface Properties (ie $surfaceprop and VMT & VTF reference & UV mapping stuff?)
- Bones, Physboxes & Hitboxes
- Breakables & Ragdolls
- Joints, Attachments & Rigging (IK (Inverse Kinematics) system)
- Animations, Sequences & AI_Activities
:category:QC Tutorials:
- eg Compiling a basic Prop_Static Model
- eg Compiling a basic Prop_Physics Model (see Physics and Ragdolls#Creating physboxes)
- eg Compiling a basic 3D Skybox Model
- eg Compiling a basic Prop_Ragdoll Model (see Physics and Ragdolls#Making a Ragdoll)
- eg Compiling a basic Prop_Vehicle Model (see Vehicles (modeling))
- eg Compiling a basic Viewmodel (see Viewmodels_in_XSI#Editing_the_QC_file)

Adding skins to an UNcompiled model?

I have a model I want to compile and I'm not sure what command I use to give it more skins. Anyone know?

Is there any QC command to tell studiomdl that the model shouldn't be smoothed?
