A Team Fortress 2 model being edited
The Blender SMD Tools allow Blender to import and export Studiomdl Data and DMX model files.
- One-click export
- Supports SMD and DMX
- Supports most Blender features
- Export multiple objects to one SMD/DMX
- Compile a QC automatically
- Import a whole QC at once
Installation
- Get a recent version of Blender. (Don't expect any Release Candidate builds to work.)
- Download the script. Don't unzip.
- In Blender, open File > User Preferences, move to the Add-Ons tab and click Install From File... in the bottom of the window. Find the downloaded zip file.
- Check the SMD Tools' box to enable them. You may then have to wait a few seconds before the UI updates.
- Click Save User Settings.
Usage
- For an in-depth guide, see Blender SMD Tools Help.
- Use the Import SMD and Export SMD operators to import or export. Search for them from the spacebar menu, or use the File menu.
- Group objects to export them to the same file.
- Use the Scene Properties panel for export options. Files are exported to
<output folder>\<subfolder>\<object>.smd. - Use the Armature Properties panel to filter and batch export actions, and to more conveniently manage or create them.
