md3 models in winquake?

[qbism]

... is it even possible? A mesh is a mesh. Textures would of course be pcx (or converted live, separate issue...)

Just wondered if there's anything about the format that "binds" it to hardware rendering.

[revelator]

nothing in particular so it should be possible

the model code i suspect could be just thrown right into software quake.

md3 needs external textures so the engine needs a version of that working in software (not to hard either).

the rendering however is normally done a bit different from mdl so one would have to port that bit.

so all in all it should be perfectly possible.
