// Chose the word "in" because the task is done while you are "in" the app. "from" would not carry the same meaning.
// Also let's use "the SMD" rather than "the model" when we're talking about how to reference, create, etc a file of this type.

In Source, a model's geometry is created in a third-party model editor. This model data must be exported in the SMD file format so that it can be compiled into a Source-ready Studiomodel.

These articles will guide you through the SMD export process in the model editor package of your choice. Because SMD is one of Valve's own file formats, SMD exporters are built as plug-ins for 3rd-party modelling applications. Instructions (where necessary) for downloading and installing the SMD export plug-in can also be found in, or from, these articles.

Tip.pngTip:In MilkShape 3D, simply click File > Export > Half-Life SMD.
