Error on SMD export. (3DS Max)
When trying to export a view model reference, I get the following error: Writing Meshes... * "bip_hand_R" WARNING: Could not get a material for mesh "bip_hand_R". Skipping mesh. Assign a Standard or Multi/Sub-Object type material to it. bip_hand_R is a bone, why would it need a material? On a semi-unrelated matter, are… -

I fixed the bone problem and didn't get an error, but now the weapon is way out of place in-game, I can't even see it. It also has no texture, but it is visible. (model viewer) -

No, I convert the model to a poly and the bones don't deform it any more. I am trying to export a view model reference. -

Converting a bone to a mesh or poly shudn't affect the hierarchy, but i repeat, i don't think it would work. In the best case your bone will be considered as a model and become visible in-game, or it may be badly interpreted and screw your animations. So you have to make a new bone, place it the same way (with aligh tool)… -

The mesh needs a material in the diffuse slot, it needs to be named the same name as the .vmt and .vtf file(s). It can be whatever format .psd, .jpg, .tga, ect but the name should match because that name gets compiled into the .smd and that's how it finds the vmt/vtf files. -
Re: Error on SMD export. (3DS Max)
I agree. Also what kind of model are you trying to compile, a static prop, a view weapon model, a world model, a player? Does it animate? -

You mean after they become un-parented? I can't just re-skin it completely, it's mostly a Valve model, and I suck at skinning. -
Re: Error on SMD export. (3DS Max)
The mesh should use the skin modifier to attach to the bones. -
