So im making a huge map so the brush number is over the limit. After some research i found a prgram for this
its called VTF to SMD. My only problem is, I dont know where it stores the models. Does anyone know?

It stores the models where you tell it - the SMD appears in the same folder as VMF, and is called like it.

For some reason the model is invisible. It has colisions but its invisible. Here is the qc


$ModelName "props\hightower.mdl"

$StaticProp

$BodyGroup "Body"
{
studio "props.smd"
}


$SurfaceProp "wood"

$Contents "solid"

$MaxEyeDeflection 90

$CDMaterials "metal"
$CDMaterials "wood"
$CDMaterials "tools"
$CDMaterials "patterns\2fort"

$TextureGroup "skinfamilies"
{
{ "wall019" "wall011e" "wall011" "wall020b" "wood_wall006" "wood_bridge001" "wood_beam03" "grain_elevator_facade_14a" "wood_wall002b.vmt" }
}

$CBox 0 0 0 0 0 0

$BBox -20.055 -179.894 -0.25 117.975 120.968 45.385


$Sequence "idle" {
"anims\props_skeletonAction.smd"
activity "act_idle" 1
fadein 0.2
fadeout 0.2
fps 30
}

I don't think you can have multiple lines of $CDmaterials, latter ones probably override the former.

Try putting them in the same one such as $CDmaterials "metal" "wood" "tools" "patterns\2fort"

I used multiple cd materials on other models. In fact i use it in almost every single model i made. Also hlmv shows that all the materials loaded.
But this give me a idea. I might have forgten to add the $CDMaterials " ", il try that.
EDIT: Nope still nothing.
