Model Data version 2 (MD2) is a 3D model file format used in Quake 2 games to load and render 3D models in games. It was developed by id Software and is part of the Quake 2 engine. The MD2 file contains information such as the geometry of a 3D object, texture mapping coordinates, and all the frame data that needs to be animated. This format is designed to be very compact so that large amounts of animation data can be stored and loaded and rendered quickly at runtime. Although MD2 is outdated, it has important implications for the history of games and the development of Computer Graphics. In addition to Quake 2, several other games have used this format.
The PLY format is a 3D model format developed and released in 1994, primarily used to store 3D data from 3D digital scanners. The format, also known as the Polygon File Format and Stanford Triangle Format, can be either binary or text-based.
The file format stores 3D geometric information, such as vertices, faces, vertex normals, colors, and other custom data. Many PLY models still use this format, available for download, and PLY files can be loaded into popular 3D applications such as Blender.
