There is a little known SMD export plugin for Maya 4.0 that I will link to here, however, there are no smd plugins for Maya 4.5 or 5.0. If anyone here with the capacity to recompile this exporter to work with Maya 5.0, I'm sure there would be a lot of people that would find it usefull. With HL2 now months away, any work done for HL has a newly extended lifespan, and I think people are going to realize that HL isn't going away for awhile yet.

The zip includes the source and everything you should need to get started. The website for Maya is www.aliaswavefront.com and you can go there for any info you need on the most current Maya build.

If it would be possible for anyone to also create an SMD importer for Maya, well that would wonderfull beyond words. I'd even be willing to make a monitary donation to anybody willing to do this for me.
