- Description
- 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.
- X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free open standard file format used to represent 3D computer graphics. It is used to store and interchange 3D model data, including surface geometry, color, animation, and metadata. X3D files are built on the XML standard, and can be viewed and edited with a variety of 3D modeling programs.
