How do i convert smd to mdl?

[Ghoulz]

I've been trying to port some Fallout meshes into Source Film maker, i've been successful converting the Nif files into smd, But now i need to convert the smd to mdl and i'm lost on how to do so.

You need to compile them with a QC. Use this tutorial: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245723825

Alright, so. i tried using Milkshape and it converted my smd to a ".qc" and now......i'm stuck once again. And the guide that was sent (Although very much appericiated) was very indirect and not very well laid out. Any furthure assistance would be appericiated.

Tell us more specific of your problem. Show us the QC code

Have no idea what you mean by "QC code", The most detail i can provide is i am able to port this file into any format including Nif,smd,3ds etc but i am unable to simply port it into a mdl which is starting to really get on my nerves.

That's why you need some kind of smd/dmx exporter plugin. Blender, 3DS Max and Maya are the only ones I know that have it. Also, the guide is already explained on every part of exporting and compiling process.

So, show us the qc then unless you don't make one yet. You need that before compiling.

The qc is a file, i don't see how i could provide that without sending the physical file.

I meant copy the codes in qc file and paste them here. I would love to help but I have other projects to do right now. Read the guide, that's all I could say to you. Perhaps other SFM forums dwellers might help you out. Sorry.

Alright. When i oppen the files with notepad this is the contents of the file

// Output .MDL
$modelname "G:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\SourceFilmmaker\game\hl2\models\WastelandSpecOps\UpperBody.mdl"

// Directory of .SMD
$cd "\Steam\Steamapps\Common\SourceFilmmaker\game\hl2\models\WastelandSpecOps\"

// Directory of .BMP
$cdtexture "\Steam\Steamapps\Common\SourceFilmmaker\game\hl2\models\WastelandSpecOps\"
$cliptotextures

// Write textures into a ???T.mdl
//$externaltextures

$scale 1.0

// bodygroups: use relative path from $cd
$bodygroup body
{
studio "./reference"
}

// sequences: all sequences are in $cd
$sequence seq-name "sequence" loop fps 30 ACT_IDLE 1

There's no use in that, OP already has everything they need to export SMDs and compile them into an MDL. Steam supported? Steam doesn't load 3D models.


Also, OP, to clarify, you can't export as MDL. You export as SMD or DMX then compile the exported files with a QC file into an MDL. If you want a GUI compiler, get Crowbar. Under the Compiler tab just set the game to Source Filmmaker, browse for your QC and let it do it's thing.
