Hey everyone, I've recently been working on viewmodels for Garry's Mod that have a reference.smd file, and animations.
I'm looking for help with exporting my reference.smd file, as Blender always tries to "Export Selected Objects". However, I want to only export one file, the reference pose.

Before I try exporting the reference.smd file, I used the Add Bone Constraint to make the root bone of my weapon target the ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Hand. Next, I select the bones of the citizen arms in Object Mode,which also selects all the bones in my weapon model. Then I select the weapons model. Finally, I head over to the Scene Tab, scroll down to Source Engine Export section, and click the Export button. This brings up a little window asking if I want to export Selected objects (2 files). Obviously, I want to export all the bones (including the weapon bones), and only the mesh of the weapon, all as one reference.smd file. Here is a screenshot if you would like to see exactly what I mean:

Even when I decide to go through with the 2 file export, I just get .smd 's that I can't use.

If you have any questions with needing me to give you a little bit more information with this issue to give you a better understanding of what I've done up to this point.

Also, please note that I did search around for a few hours looking to see if anybody had a problem similar to mine, but couldn't find anything here on the discussions, or on Google.


Thanks in advance
