Hi guys, Joined the forum because i have a problem with my first model. It took me a while, but i've finally managed to see my custom model in game (partly)
The model i edited is the "headcrab classic" model from hl2, i added a human like head to it, that i made in blender, got it all compiled and good to go.
made a map in hammer, added a bunch of head crabs. and ran the map.
When the headcrabs are right up to me, i see the custom head i added, but as i back away, it looks like the default model. i dont understand the problem is, maybe one of you can help me with this, would really appreciate it. here some pics of what im talking about, even in hammer, when i go upto it with the camera in 3d view, the head appears, but as i backaway, it dissapears, looking like the default...

as you can see, both models are different looking, when actually they are the same .mdl file, it just changes to the default and looses the human head i put in it, at a certain distance.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
*Edit* heres the .qc i used to compile it.

actually, could you tell me what you did to make it work, if you have the time? i cant really see what you did, it's completely different than the original...
did you get rid of the lods?
[editline]24th October 2012[/editline]
heres the modded classic headcrab model, working ingame, modeled the head in blender, needs a better texture though...
