When you say fix the smd what exactly do you mean by that?

Posted by Devieus

It's your texture families, you mention in QC it's looking for '// Model uses material "sodarack_red.vmt"', but really it's looking for 'C_energydrink.vmt'.

Fix the material name in the SMD and complete the $texturegroup in the QC.

Also that lightwarp doesn't look too kosher.

Alright I did that. Now what do I need to specifically change in the QC?

The materials used by the model are dictated by the materials assigned in the SMD file, currently the '.smd' states it's looking for 'C_energydrink.vmt', which is not the name of the '.vmt' you provided. Open the '.smd' with notepad and replace every instance of the name with the name you want it to be, or re-export it with the correct material name assigned to the faces.

alright I got a texture to work. but now it only uses one and I need it to use 2. any suggestions?

Unfortunately, this is where I get off, one of my projects have this exact problem and I can't figure it out either.
