# Introduction to export a weapon
**Keep in mind about weapon systems:**
Pay attention to this [section](##textures-and-materials) when you need to export correctly, the material/texture(image) should be one thing, so do the following: Export IQM > Materials: > select `material` or `image` instead `material+image-ext`.<br/>

+SMD format doesn't support bone scaling animations, although you try to compile them into dpmodel tool, it won't change nothing. More info here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/BlenderSourceTools/discussions/1/152392786900223348/ <br/>
+Same goes for IQM.

There's a post from InsideQC Forums explaining about IQM:
