Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer

(April 20, 2018)

"I swear r_speeds are still relevant—"

Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer is massively outdated. Numerous unsolved bugs still plague the program, and it hasn't been updated since 2005. Use the Paranoia 2 Model Viewer or Solokiller's Half-Life Model Viewer instead; both are much faster, more stable, more recently updated, and with more features than Jed's. We only archive the following for posterity.

For many years, Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer was considered the de facto model viewer for GoldSrc games. Originally a fork of Mete Ciragan's Half-Life Model Viewer, Jed's Half-Life Model Viewer features significant improvements over it. These include a re-organized GUI, a front-end for Studiomdl (compiling) and Mdldec (decompiling), a poly counter, a UV map viewer, the ability to dump a host of model info to a text file, support for transparent and additive textures in the viewer itself, and its own set of bugfixes over the original HLMV.
