SMD soon will not be supported in source 2
So, yea, as valve said smd will not be supported anymore, they will concentrate on DMX and FBX.

To tell the truth, dmx sometimes fail, where smd win...I personally had no problems with smd in past in comparison to dmx.

But, we will have no alternatives left, valve gives us poor choice: DMX or FBX...fbx - ♥♥♥♥♥♥ format, nobody likes it because of common fails...and blender + fbx = inconsistency.

I wonder if valve will go towards the OS community and make support of *.dae (which is totally similar to fbx, but it is open and have no issues)

So, this is the news :)
Could you go over dmx and source 2, to find if dmx fully compatable with source2 or not?

The Blender Source Tools already has support for DMX for Source 2...

Do you have a link for that?

I'm not entirely sure that *every* DMX feature is supported for Source 2. I'll have to do some testing!

I've found this warning while uploading model:

At least for models with animations it is true, I'm not shure about all other types of upload...but...it seems that valve wants to remove smd completely (for example, you can not export from source tools models in smd format, you are able to export *obj, *dmx, *fbx) and when Valve released workshop tools there was no smd import at all (smd worked, but was not supported)

Btw, we did tested, and only model with binary 9 and model 22 work in source2 tools now, other DMX versions - fail with "no bones in mesh" error (BUT! Older versions of DMX worked some months ago. Maybe they did something with WSHT?)

FBX fail every time, even FBX converter from Autodesk won't work.

sorry to bump this up, but looks like with 'Spring Cleaning' update, SMD support is dropped
Originally posted by Spring Cleaning Update page:
Item Workshop Tool: SMD file support has been discontinued for workshop models and animations — existing SMD submissions can be processed, but new submissions must use either FBX or DMX file formats

Это на стене группы https://vk.com/blendota
При экспорте выбираешь версию DMX: Binary 9, Model 22 и в Доте скомпилируется все без проблем. Это если шмот. Если курьер, то Normalize после рига нужно сделать.:steamhappy:
