Model Details

  • author: KatsBits
  • rel’ date: Jan 2014 (update)
  • name: animated MD5 sample file
  • zip file: bob_lamp_update.zip
  • info: Updated version of "Bob", a low-poly character mesh for general export and testing of MD5 mesh and animation – "*.md5mesh" and "*.md5anim". File and it’s contents should be opened in Blender 2.69 or above to avoid compatibility issues with older versions of Blender and/or resulting MD5 exports (md5mesh & md5anim).

    File includes two versions of the source file, one ‘working’ – mesh is intact with surfaces in ‘quad’ form; and one ‘prepped’ (exported) – mesh has been tessellated (triangulated) for export. For more details on prepping and exporting to MD5 read the general MD5 export guide here.

  • polycount: c.1050 (tris).
