Are you talking about the verts on the glasses by the nose bridge? If so I think it might be that they are weight painted to another bone.

yes, that's what i mean. is that process automatic or something? i've never even heard of it, but some a quick google search tells me it's something you apply.

how can i get rid of it if this is automatic? deleting the associated vertex groups maybe? i'm assigning it to only one bone, ValveBiped.forward

Select your object then go into weight painting mode[www.blender.org] and remove the weight.

alright, so i did that (at least i think i did >.>) and it still seems to be an issue.
from what i could gather i had to use the subtract function in order to remove the weight, so i applied that all over the model, but it still looks the same.

perhaps i've done this wrong? regardless, thanks for the help

here's what i do step-by-step:
* import SMD for another model
* position new model
* change name values
* remove all bone associations
* add bone association with ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1 (or ValveBiped.forward)
* remove weight from model through weight paint subtract
* select all components of model
* ctrl+j
* export SMD, compile
