The Blender SMD Tools enable Blender 2.58+ to import from and export to the Source engine. Unlike most other exporters, they are built with usability in mind at all times.
- One-click export
- Supports all types of SMD
- Supports DMX import
- Supports most Blender features
- Export multiple objects to one SMD
- Compile a QC automatically
- Import a whole QC at once
Installation
- Get Blender 2.58 or later
- Download the SMD Tools from Google Code
- In Blender, open ''File > User Preferences'', move to the ''Add-Ons'' tab and click ''Install Add-On'' in the bottom of the window
- Check the SMD Tools' box to enable them
- 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, go to scene properties, or use the File menu.
- Group objects to export them to the same SMD.
- Use the Scene Properties panel for export configuration. 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.
Both of the new panels will start a the very bottom of the list, but can be dragged higher. The animation panel will only appear when an armature with animation data is selected.
Awesome another reason to learn how to use blender. ;)
Wtf? Blender 2.58?! I recently downloaded 2.57 lol. Awesome, now I dont need to write this stupid qc at my own^^
It doesn't write a qc, I think. It just says "compile QCs automatically".
Noooooo!!
QC's are easy peasy anyways. If you're having too much trouble with them, decompile a model that's used in the same way as yours and edit the QC for your needs.
Thanks.

You can change the export folder from Scene Properties.
Does anyone have an alternate link to the SMD Tool? It seems that the link from Googlecode is broken.
