It's an open-source format, I believe.  There's a program called SKModeler 1.2, but pretty run an SMD (Half-life 2 format) through a batch file and wah-lah, SKM.

For 3DS to MD2, check out QME, it's the only one I've ever had success with.


Also, in the Filter Forge thread, you mention needing the new FF for normal maps, but why not just use Melody?

yeah, I lost all that stuff when the old server got shut down.  Couldn't remember what the directory used to be, so I just called it tools.

I haven't used it in a long time but I think you have to import the texture too.
