BModel (bsp model, submodel, mapobject model) is a model constructed in level editor out of [[brush | brushes]] or [[patch mesh | patches]] and compiled into the .bsp file. Brush model can have triangle models attached (they become a part of the model). Doors, trains, platforms are bmodels.

BModel (bsp model, submodel, mapobject model) is a model constructed in level editor out of brushes or patches and compiled into the .bsp file. Brush model can have triangle models attached (they become a part of the model). Doors, trains, platforms are bmodels.

BModel could be internal (supplied with the level and have special names such as *1, *2, *3 etc.) and external (BSP files). External BSP model differs from level file, it usually have no VIS data, entities, and other level-specific data.

[edit] Benefits

  • very fast to render
  • automatically get collisions
  • supplied with level .bsp's (no external files)
  • easy to construct in level editor (dont need a third party tools)
  • can be lightmapped or lit dynamically (using lightgrid)
  • can have triangle models attached

[edit] Drawbacks

  • cannot be animated (only moved/rotated)
  • badly optimized mesh (since it automatically generated from brushes)
  • complex models with lots of corners or curved surfaces is not that easy to make
