Propper is an edited version of vbsp that outputs a model instead of a bsp.

Many mappers need to make props for their maps, but don't want to learn a seperate modeling program. This tool allows them to make models in Hammer in a one-step process. It's also useful to modelers who work with mappers. No other method of .vmf export keeps texture mapping intact, or auto-generates a physics mesh.

Features:

Can create static props or physics props
Generates a .qc file and automatically compiles the prop for use in your game.
Generates a working physics mesh.
Automatic material conversion--Turns map textures into valid model textures.
Distinguishes between real textures and "tool" textures.
Respects Hammer smoothing groups or autosmooth.
Configure your prop from within Hammer.
