i was just looking over some mdl loading and animating code and it seemed much more complicated the md2 code. is it really more complicated or is it just in my head? -PmanC

It''s probably mostly in your head - I get that a lot too so dont worry about it

I''ve never seen the specs for the MDL model format, though seeing as the MD2 model format would have been redesigned for OpenGL I should imagine it''s much easier for us OGL heads to interpret

You talking about Animation:Master MDL?
Huh, that is really complicated.

I noticed that and I think there''s no use for such complex model in game programming.

MDL suits well for modelling application, but I export my models now to PLY, which is very simple.
