model viewer can get frozen from bad models.
Just recently the model viewer stopped working for me. I was tyring to figure out wtf was wrong. I recently added the Xana character model to the models folders I took from Might and magic Dark messiah (I was trying to mod it into a zoey replacement. lol), Not sure but it must have been bad because after that model viewer would start freezing up after using it once. But even I after I deleted this bad model out of the model directory it still kept persisting even after restarting hammer editor. There is cache folder in the models directory named ".hammer.mdlcache" with hidden files inside it where hammer is keeping bad copies of this model also, so I had to delete that folder also and recreate it by making a new folder and renaming it back to .hammer.mdlcache. (or it might get recreated automatically but whatever..).
But yeah I thought I would put this out incase somebody else gets this issue.
