Ok you guys, I've been trying to import SMD-files into Maya (6.0) with no luck, using the Maya addons from the SourceSDK, but I just get an error : "Error: The source attribute 'place2dTexture1.mirror' cannot be found."
Only the bones are imported, most of them misplaced! And the bones are no even animated when importing an animation SMD, and I get a different error: "Error: end of file readched without tag triangles".

So, any ideas on how to get a working SMD import? :/

Try that.

Read again: Import! :P
I know about that exporter already, but I am just having serious troubles to get SMDs into Maya.

My mistake, I remembered the link but read the page too fast :(

I think a lot of the importers in the SDK are really old ones from the old HL1 SDK actually.

Ok I've figured it out how to get Maya to import SMDs with the Maya-tools provided in the Source SDK.

From the HL2World forum:

change

connectAttr -f ($place + ".mirror") ($fileTex + ".mirror");

to

//connectAttr -f ($place + ".mirror") ($fileTex + ".mirror");

or delete the line
