The original models were created for Quake in Alias PowerAnimator. 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.
