 - [Source Tools (SMD importer/exporter)](http://steamreview.org/BlenderSourceTools/archives/) to import/export SMD files.

+# Old methodology
+
+**IMPORTANT**: In this methodology, you can't make cool animations with separated objects, because `h_*.iqm` here is a plane mesh with bones.
+
+Note: the model should be rotated as YXZ, instead being XYZ. Because the pit of the weapon is Y, horizontally is X.
+
+`tag_weapon` is a MUST bone for this methodology.

 ## MD3
 
 Before to export, you need to select all objects in the scene. (Pressing A, seeing all objects highlighting orange or red)
