Alternative SMD exporter

At the time of writing the given exporter link was dead. This alternative SMD Exporter posted by Dragonlord works fine. You will have to give your materials the same name as your .tga files (without the extension).

We should have the links in one place where they are updated - it makes no sense to go through several articles, changing the exporters... and it's not useful to have the same stuff in several articles. This place would be Blender, as it is the starting point if someone wants to work with it. --Vaarscha 06:36, 25 Apr 2006 (PDT)

Re-categorise

Only a small fraction of this great tutorial is specific to Blender. There are only a few lines describing how to Export an SMD from Blender. Once you've got an SMD (& TGA), the rest of the tutorial is a collection of really handy QC recipes which apply equally to compiling any SMD file (whether created by Blender, XSI, 3DS, etc) through StudioMDL. So I'm suggesting that this article be split, basically move the QC stuff out into a more general Model-compiling article, rather than being buried in the Blender-tutorials category. Possibly rename this article something like "Exporting SMD from Blender"? Does that make sense? --Beeswax 06:31, 22 Apr 2008 (PDT)
