SMD 3D Model Format Documentation

Overview

SMD (StudioModel Data) is a plain-text file format used for 3D models, primarily in Valve's Source and GoldSrc engines. SMD is also known to be used by Sauerbraten and third party tools for The Sims and Mount & Blade. It stores geometry, skeletal animations, and optionally vertex animations in a simple, easy-to-parse structure.

Key Features

Reference Models: Default pose with geometry and bone hierarchy.

LPM (Low Poly Model) 3D Format Documentation

Overview

The LPM format is a lightweight, human-readable format designed to store low-polygon 3D models. It supports vertices, normals, UVs, faces, and skeletal animations. Its simplicity makes it easy to parse and implement in custom tools.

Features

Single texture per model
Comments supported (lines starting with #)
Compact and straightforward structure
Skeletal animations support (optional)

	/**
	* Simple assert function that throws an error if the test is false
	*/

	if (condition === false) throw new AssertionError(msg);

	* TGA File Handling Library
	* by Michael Binder (RednibCoding)
	*
	* This library provides functionality to load and save TGA (Targa) image files, including support for uncompressed
	* and RLE-compressed (32-bit RGBA and 24-bit RGB) images. The library is simple and self-contained, designed for
	* easy integration into projects requiring TGA image manipulation.
