Source Prop Models

Important: Apparently you need a prop_data clause in your .QC file when compiling Source prop models 
(If you want a physics prop you could bypass the issue using prop_physics_override in Hammer)

- My Source modeling pipeline -

Export as DMX (or SMD) with Blender using Blender Source Tools > Compile model using Studiomdl (or Crowbar) combined with a QC script file as input alongside the input model

Idle animation (view)model file (hl2)
