This tutorial will show you how to export a simple model from [[Blender]] for compiling with [[studiomdl]].

#Create your model and texture it via UV mapping. The result should be a .blend file and all the [[TGA]] files you used as textures. The example used here is the PC Gamer UK mag secreted all around de_dust_pcg (blender file for the model <code>pcgmag.blend</code> and texture file <code>pcgmag.tga</code>)
#Having installed the [[Blender#Plugins | SMD exporter plugin]], export your model to a Half-Life 2 [[SMD]] file, in this case <code>pcgmag.smd</code>.
#Copy the SMD file into <code><game>/modelsrc</code> and the TGA file(s) into <code><game>/materialsrc/models</code>
#The SMD you have already is '''just the reference model'''. We will also need an additional SMD to declare the 'idle' animation. So, in a text-editor, create a file called <code>pcgmag_idle.smd</code> (or some other name ending in SMD) and enter this as its contents:
 
version 1
nodes
0 "joint0" -1
end
skeleton
time 0
0 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0 0.000000 0.000000
end
 
You are now ready to [[Compiling Models|compile the model]].
