    I shouldn't have to say this.... but did you try searching on Google? I just did and there seems to be a few ways you can go about this. It is possible... from what I can see.

    NifTools / Nifscope plug-ins for Blendr or 3DS should allow you to import NIF files, then export as .obj files ready for SMedit.

    I've not tried it, but thats how i would try first.

    Don't you have to put the .obj through binvox first? At least, that's how I once did one.

    And yes, you can use NifTools plugins for Blender to import meshes to .blend, and use Blender's native .obj exporter to get all yer delicious SMedit-compatible thinghies.
