Hi thanks TechieUK, this is still causing me a problem, I tried to export the smd again with various degrees of success. Not sure where I would have changed the ref_smd to a skeletal animation if I did do that. I thought I had the phys_mesh set to flat so I changed that to smooth it was not that either.
I used various blenders from 2.67 to 2.69 and there is strange/odd things happening.
For some reason blender 2.67 and blender 2.69 can export the the SMD using my QC file(using SMD add on) but for some reason it can't complie the model I don't know why this is happening.
As a comparison I used GUIStudio using the exported Smd's from blender 2.67/2.69 and complied the model in GUIStudio even in GUIStudio it has the same problem leaking elements I don't know why.
Using Blender 2.68 I export the SMD with the QC file and it exports like the other blenders. though for some reason it complies in GUIStudio.
I also tried to complie the model in blender 2.68 I guess with success. How is it compling the model in Blender 2.68 but not Blender 2.67 and blender 2.69?? this is really confusing.
There is still a problem, in hammer it does not show the material and I am sure I have named it correctly but it is still not showing up. I understand that the material name in blender must be named the same as the VMT and VTF file in this case
bridgewall1tex. I put the complied model from blender 2.68 into notepad ++ at the bottom it has the texture
bridgewall1tex which is what I named the texture.
can anyone help does anyone know what is wrong. I could send the blender file if that is needed.
This was the complied output from GUIStudio and Blender 2.68
