The original models were created for Quake in [1]. They are sometimes referred to as "Alias Models", and that is derived from the program's name.

MDL model files' characteristics are these:

  • geometric data (triangles)
  • 8 bits texture data
  • frame-by-frame animations
  • can hold multiple textures.

MDL model file's extension is mdl. An MDL file is a binary file divided into two parts: the header and the data. The header contains all information needed to use and manipulate the data.
