Models are 3D meshes used for Quake's player, monsters, weapons, and power ups that use the [[mdl]] file format. The rest of the ammo, health, and exploding boxes use the [[Quake BSP Format]]. The original mdl models were created for Quake in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerAnimator Alias PowerAnimator]. They are sometimes referred to as "Alias Models" which is derived from the program's name. The textures for the models were orignally created in [Deluxe Paint|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluxe_Paint].
