I made this tutorial a while ago and propper works like a charm for me :thumbup:

Only thing you need is an old-source-engine-based game like Portal or HL2:Ep1... Do not hesitate to ask me whatever question about it if it's not clear.

Well, I'm not sure if you have read the tutorial... this is for turning a group of brushes into a model (what still I'm not quite sure it's your goal though...) and that includes a .smd file. If you want to do so, the main problem is that Propper must be used with older source engine than the one P2AT and Portal2 use, ok?

If you own Portal or HL2:Ep1 you can make your thing in P2AT, then open it with the SourceSDK and there use Propper...

What exactly are you wanting to obtain a .smd file from? if it's only brushes, simply send it to me and I'll make the model for you, ok? :thumbup:

Well i need to get portal 2 maps in 3ds max,i know there is way: Exporting from hammer to dxf file and then import to 3ds max,but dxf file dont have uvw maps applied,it may take a weeks to apply them,and second the map is so angular when i export to dxf,the only way is to convert the vmf file to something,to get those maps in 3ds max,PLEASE,PLEASE HELP ME.

To be frank, I can't help you on that, mate, I'm sorry. On the other hand, I'm not so sure that what you're thinking is possible at all... Maybe others could help though. Good luck :thumbup:

I am not! AT ALL... but I had to write that second sentence in order to define the joke better and lead you to the referenced song :wink: (this wink hasn't got any second meaning either... hahaha...)
