just paste, or drag and drop your qc file into the studomdl

then it worked. it compiles a megaton faster than ms3d. if it seemed too quick, check your qc file, for errors, otherwise check for your mdl.

Look at the setup guide for it (and for kratisto's decompiler) in the stickied modelling guide. Using a .bat file to get it working from your right-click menu in a dos box is much better than doing things with MS - it's never crashed on me the way Milkshape can.

Also, if you want to make models with transparencies you'll need Valve's updated version of studiomdl.exe - you can get it from <a href='http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=util_hl' target='_blank'>http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=util_hl</a>

my qc file gets renamed into qc.qc
to compile with studiomdl.exe i rename it into qc.exe <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
then i make a link to c:/windows/command.com
now put that link, qc.qc, all needed files (references sequences textures) and the qc.exe in the same directory.
just doubleclick your link to command.com, you should see the directory of the file in the dos prompt, and type "qc qc.qc"

or "studiomdl mymdl.qc" without renaming.
model gets created into that directory.

thats odd, all i have to do is drag n drop my qc file into studiomdl and it works... try putting it into the same dir as your file
