for those who dont know, 3d gamestudio is, well, a game making software. it's most notably known as the software for creating such gems as AaAaAA!!! - a reckless disregard for gravity, everybody's favorite gag gift bad rats: the rats' revenge, and a thousand other tech demos released on their official website.
now that we got the main info out of the way, lets talk about the model format used for 3d gamestudio; .mdl. this file format is different from all the other .mdl model extensions, it only works with one program and thats their very own model editor itself named MED. there is an export button which will allow you to export to a 3ds file but there's one problem, all the uvs get deleted. i have no idea how to edit uvs so thats an option i threw out of the bag very quickly. i finally did find something that can convert the mdl files with uvs, a model converting site. but this brings its own problem in itself: the model's lighting makes it pitch black.
here it is with lighting (and yes that is a bad rats model)
