Can you use an md2 as a playermodel? I know md5 is recommended, but is it actually possible?
I'm taking modelling requests again - any models you want created,skinned or animated (or all 3) leave a post here:

(originally) Actually, it's md3 and md5 which are best for playermodels, as they allow animation.
(After I googled md2) actually, I think md2 is okay for animating... see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD2_(file_format)

yea md2 can be animated, which is why I wondered why md3 and md5 (md5 in particualr) were preferred...?
