Quick question

[operative x]

Do i need the materials applied to his hands inorder for it to show up textured in hl2? Since im using the same model and not adding any new geometry or weapons shouldn't it be ok to animate untextured?

im quite unsure of this myself. if your modifying a weapons that u have exported then the qc file will link to the textures used. but when u export to a smd file then u need a texture assigned. and also it wouldnt have a uv map or anything. maybe if you extracted the texture files for the hands then assigned it to the model. that would be hard as youd have to make a uv map n everything. maybe you dont even need to do any of that.
