- The MD2 file type is a file format used to store 3D model data for use in computer games developed with the Quake II engine. It is a compressed mesh format that stores vertex and texture coordinates that can be used to render a 3D character or object. It is designed to allow for efficient rendering and can be used to create animated models.
- The Collada file format was developed to permit cross-platform collaboration when using different design applications. DAE is an open-source format that uses the XML-based schema allowing it to effectively transverse across multiple programs.
