FAQ
SMD to GIF Conversion
What are SMD files?
SMD is a 3D model format associated with software developed by Valve Corporation. A well-known name in the gaming industry, Valve is the creator of Half-Life, Counter Strike, Dota 2 and other highly popular video games. SMD files are developed via Source, a game engine owned by Valve, and contain a three-dimensional model compiled using a command-line utility called Studiomdl Data and a QC script.
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
