A Team Fortress 2 model being editing, thanks to the Blender SMD Tools.

Blender The Blender SMD Tools allow Blender 2.55+ to import and export Studiomdl Data files.

  • Import or export all types of SMD
  • Batch export objects from a scene with a single click, or export singly
  • Compile a QC file automatically after export
  • Import a whole QC file at once

Installation

  1. Download the script (0.9 released November 4th 2010; changelog)
  2. In Blender, open File > User Preferences, move to the Add-Ons tab and click Install Add-On in the bottom of the window
  3. Check the SMD Tools' box to enable them
  4. Click Save as Default to enable the tools in all Blend files

Usage

  • Use the Import SMD and Export SMD operators to import or export. Search for them from the spacebar menu, or use the File menu.
  • Use the Scene Properties panel for SMD export options. SMDs 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.
Tip.pngTip:You can drag the new panels to a higher position if you want.
