You'll need to add your models as prop_static and enable per-vertex static prop lighting when buliding your map.

Ah, I think I now understand what the problem is. Basically, the static model is lit per-vertex, correct? Like when you change the lightmap scale on blocks. (e.g. higher number of vertices, sharper the shadows on the model. higher unit/luxel on the lightmap scale, sharper the shadows on the block.)

Once I added the three compile options, "-staticproppolys", "-textureshadows" and "-staticproplighting", then compiled, the shadows appeard, but distorted.

Wondering if I need to go back to blender and add more vertices to my model so make the shadows more defined. Also any tips on my model creation would be much appreciated.
Example of my model below...

I have been creating some low poly assets for a map I am working on. When I load the map up for testing in Half Life 2, the props have these strange shadows on them when placed in certain areas of the map. They are especially prominent under the balcony on the front of the house.

I've noticed that shadows cast on the model treat the object oddly. Rather than drawing a line between shade and sun across the surface of the model, it treats it as if its either completely in shadow, or completely in the sun. Even if that is not the case.

For example, if you look at the stone frame around the door at the front of the house. It has no block of shadow on it, even though the top half would have shadow on it from the balcony above.

If you need any more information, just ask. Thanks!

- I also have a _mask texture as well so I can have reflective textures alongside the matt ones. Is there anything I need to know about that? -Images-

That the same things apply. You should make sure that the masking VTF also has "Point Sample" enabled and doesn't have any mip-maps.

Problem is fixed now. You were correct about the Point Sample and Mip-maps.

There was also another problem which I didnt notice. It was due to the size of the texture when converted into a VTF

Thanks again for your help, I was about to give up with it :/

Point Sample flag is unchecked and it says in the info that the VTF has 10 Mipmaps -Image-

Then I suggest converting the image to VTF again, this time without generating any mip-maps, followed by enabling the "Point Sample" flag.

Mip-maps do more harm than good to "palette" textures (they stretch the image to a smaller resolution to allow texture quality to be lowered from distances or with low-quality settings, which is fine for "textured" textures but really bad for "palette" textures), and the "Point Sample" texture flag disables texture filtering (for example, with "Point Sample" disabled, a red pixel will smoothly fade to a blue pixel beside it, but with "Point Sample" enabled, the entire pixel of the texture will be fully red without any sort of fading into the blue pixel beside it).

Thanks for the response, I'll give that a try and come back to you with the results.

I've never been very good with the texturing aspect so thats why I resorted to low poly models

I have been creating some low poly assets for a map I am working on. When I export the models from Blender and open them up in Hammer I get this strange bleeding effect on the textures of the model. They are especially prominent across the edges of my model.
