What is a SMD file?
SMD (Studiomdl Data) is a 3D model format used in Valve’s Source engine and GoldSrc engine for games like Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Portal. It stores mesh, skeletal, and animation data in a plain-text format.
SMD is mainly used by modders and game developers for rigging and animating characters or props. It is supported by various tools and plugins, especially within Blender and Valve’s development kits.
How to open SMD files
SMD files can be opened and edited using Blender with Valve-specific plugins, as well as tools like Crowbar for compiling into Valve model formats.
AnyConv supports converting SMD files to formats like OBJ or FBX for broader compatibility with 3D modeling tools.
