What is a SMP Package?

SMP packages are a compressed file, saved as a .smp extention. This zip file typically will contain these types of files:

• .shape - This file stores the typical design of a custom block.
• .obj - This is a more advanced design file for a custom block or item.
• .png - This file stores the texture that is applied to the custom block or item.
• .yml - This file stores all the information regarding the custom block or item.

Below are a few example files for creating your own custom SMP packages.

• Example .SHAPE file.
• Example .YML file.

Design Files & Editors

MoreMaterials SMP packages can youse two types of shape files for specifying the design of a custom block, .obj and .shape. The following link can provide you with a Free Editor to handle the creation of .shape files. The .obj file types are typically from a program such as Cinema 4D Studio.
