  3. Check the SMD Tools' box to enable them
  4. Click Save as Default to enable the tools in all Blend files

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.
