 # vvmtool
+## Inter Quake Model & VVM Exporter
 
 This is the exporter for our extended model format (**VVM**). It's based off IQM and to
 some extent is backwards compatible (this was done so that editors capable of
 displaying IQM files would *just work*, however it depends on how the loader is written.

+Features that the original IQM exporter did not offer:
+
+* Support for external configuration files for IQM generation (ala studiomdl)
+* Pre-processor for rotating single or all input files
+* Pre-processor for translating/repositioning single or all input files
+* Pre-processor for renaming bones inside a single or all input files
+* Pre-processor for material prefixes inside a single or all input files
+
+Some features that our extended specification (VVM) has to offer:
+
+* Support for hitmeshes for faster, content-aware collision detection
+* Automatic hitmesh generation
+* Submodels that allow showing/hiding specific groups of the model via the game-logic
+* Support for frame triggered events that can be read by the game-logic (model-events)
+* Level-of-detail range flag for references/sub-models
+* User-defined surface and contentflags per reference/sub-model
+
+**NOTE: Using any of the VVM features is not supported in any engine other than FTEQW**
