(MASSIVE shout out to disco for helping me out)
So, the problem was that when i exported my model to fbx, i didn't tick off "Model Animations" which includes a default animation from the game, thus making "All transformations" completely cook the model. The solution is to export and tick off "Model animations" so that no animation sequence is present, scale accordingly in blender, and export it as smd, and voila/ the model in sfm appears perfectly now.

So for anyone exporting Serious Engine assets (or any asset from a video game engine) from Serious Sam to Blender to SFM make sure in the editor to tick off model animations.

sure i'll add you then send you the file privately

wait do i send you my blend file or you? if its you then im ok with it

Alright when i do that for some reason some of the models tentacles are really stretched and idk what is causing it https://postimg.cc/3dkvwz5T

where do i find that button? i don't see any button that says "all transforms" https://postimg.cc/LnXSpTMG

Trying to scale the model in blender doesn't do anything to the exported model, not sure what else to do, i tried to scale it by pressing s and manually change the scale values but that doesnt do anything.

So what's the fix? scaling it down in blender?

Hi, i'm currently trying to import a model from blender to sfm, and so far everything is good, except that in the compiling, i get spammed with a bunch of errors about different bones having the bounding box out of range. i tried looking online and could only find one person with the same problem but no replies. Also, when i spawn it in sfm, it is completely out of bounds including it's bones, and when i bring it back, only the root transform moves and not all the bones. here is the logs if that helps:
