I'm actually creating an engine for the DS and md3's are too slow to display on it. md2's and mdl's are fine but i dont like many of the models that are available.

It's me again with another conversion question .
Is there any free (or really cheap) software that can convert mdl and md2 to md3 or the reverse?
I tried milkshape but none of the animations are saved.

@dichtfux,
No , I thought the bsp file is the map since that's what I'm rendering. I didn't know if there were any differences between a .map and .bsp file.

@speaker,
Just using it for a rendering engine of mine.

Yep I'm converting quake maps to quake 3. I'm curious what you mean when you say, "Unless the original author is kind enough to give you the Quake map he/she created." Isn't the bsp file the map? I don't actually know because I don't own quake 3, but am just using the map format for my eng...

I'll definitely give it a shot. Thanks!

Hey guys is there a utility that will convert a quake 1 bsp file to quake 3 bsp file?
I tried Quark, but it's so buggy and never saves it.
