Before any conversion can be successful, it's crucial to understand what you're working with. FLVER and SMD are fundamentally different formats designed for different purposes.

Note on Material Mapping: FLVER files hold information on untextured materials tied to complex shaders. When converting to SMD, these textures will appear detached. You will need to extract the corresponding from the game path, convert them into game-supported DDS or standard image formats, and re-assign them manually within your software.
