Usable Maya .smd im/exporter (Source)

Corsair970 · 17-01-2008, 03:06 PM

Not sure if this goes here but here it is.

I'm currently using XSI to animate characters, to be blunt it's terrible. I'm a Maya user not a XSI one and the .smd plugin that comes with the Source SDK is almost useless.

Have any of you found a better one, or have seen someone work with Source stuff in Maya, Valve SDK excluded.

Trying to do some mod work and it's a hassle for the entire team.

Hmmm thanks Alchemist, While it's not very animation/rig tested, it's better than I've been using.
