Convert Your 3D Mesh/Model MD2 Files to Blender

Our free and fast tool will convert your 3D MD2 (Quake II Model) model files to a standard Blender file that can then be edited further in most popular 3D editing packages or 3D printed without any further processing. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple MD2 files; up to 200 files at a time can be converted.

To convert your MD2 file, click the Upload button above and select the file to convert. Once selected, the file will be converted to a Blender file and will be ready for download shortly afterwards. For more information about the MD2 to Blender conversion process, see the conversion information section below.

Description

An MD2 file, which is the native 3D model format used by the Quake II 3D rendering engine, was developed to enable convenient storage of 3D animated game characters.

MD2 files contain 3D geometric data representing the game character, including vertices, faces, and material information, along with animation keyframes necessary for in-game animations and poses.

Description

The BLEND file type is the native 3D graphics file format of the 3D modeling application Blender. Originally released in 1994, Blender has grown over the years and is one of the most popular 3D applications available.

BLEND files store 3D content such as 3D geometry, vertices, faces, normals, animations, materials, and much more. Blender is free and open-source, contains many features you would expect in a high-end 3D editing application, and is available for most current operating systems.

Blender Notes

If your original model file contains texture images and other texture-related data, these will be included in the final BLEND file.

How does it work?

Converting from the MD2 file format to Blender can be a complex process, and any tool used for this conversion process needs to be able to handle a variety of data conversion tasks as well as identify any defects within the 3D model and fix them. Here we will explain the conversion process used by our tool to accurately convert your MD2 file to a valid Blender 3D model. Let's start with the conversion process, which involves the following steps:

Step 1: Read the Source MD2 File

In its simplest form, an MD2 file is a binary data file containing 3D data such as vertices, faces, normals, and more. When combined, these make up the 3D model you see on your screen.

For more information regarding the MD2 file format, please see this great article that goes into a lot of detail explaining the MD2 format.

Step 2: Process File Data

With the MD2 file data read, our tool generates an internal representation of the full 3D model and will attempt to fix any geometry issues encountered. Along with repairing any issues with the 3D model, the tool will remove any duplicated vertices and prepare the model for exporting to the Blender format.

Step 3: Saving to the Blender Format

With the conversion process entering its final stages, our tool now needs to take the in-memory 3D model we have created in step 2 and convert it to the Blender format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Blender will the file be saved as?

Our tool will save all Blender files that can be opened with version [z] of Blender.

I have several MD2 files; can I batch convert my MD2 to Blender?

Yes! Our MD2 tool supports full batch conversions. You can upload up to 200 MD2 files at a time. Our tool will convert them all as quickly as possible. Once completed, you can either download the Blender files individually or download them all in a single ZIP file.

How can I convert my MD2 file to Blender?

First click the "Upload..." button, and select your MD2 file to upload. You can also drag and drop your file onto the tool. Once your file is selected, you can set any configuration options. When the MD2 to Blender conversion has completed, you can download your Blender file straight away.

How long does it take to convert my MD2 to Blender?

We aim to process all MD2 to Blender conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.

How accurate is the MD2 to Blender conversion?

We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

Is it safe to convert my MD2 to Blender on ImageToStl.com?

Yes, of course! We do not store the MD2 file you submit to us. The resulting Blender file, once created, is stored for 4 hours after upload; after this time it is deleted, and the short-term download link will stop working. You can create a long-term download Url with most tools that will ensure the file is retained for 24 hours, allowing you to download the file when convenient. Our tools also come with a Delete button, allowing you to delete the file immediately.

Do I need a high-spec. computer to use the MD2 to Blender converter?

No. All our conversion tools process your MD2 file on our dedicated conversion servers, meaning you can use our tools on low-spec computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices and receive your converted Blender file quickly.

Can I convert my MD2 to Blender on Windows, Linux, Android, iOS or Mac OS?

Yes! Our MD2 to Blender tool will run on any system with a modern web browser. No specialist software is needed to run any of our conversion tools.

What if I am using an Ad Blocker, will that affect things?

Yes. Although you can use an Ad Blocker, if you like our MD2 conversion tool please consider white-listing our website. When an Ad Blocker is enabled there are some conversion limits and some settings may not be available when using our tools. Processing/conversion and download times will also be longer.

Can I get support with converting my MD2 to Blender?

Yes. When you have converted your MD2 to Blender, there is a "Feedback" option that you can use to let us know of any issues you encountered when converting your file.
