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 bsp file format. The original models were created for Quake in 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].
