Importing Quake .mdl files

[Candleflicker]

I can't find any addons that allow importing. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, MDL files are binary, and every processor handles binary differently. In order import the models into blender, you need to decompile them.

I know the program called Crowbar works for decompiling Source Engine MDL files, but they may not work with Quake ones.

You can try searching for a Quake model decompiler. Since the engine is open source, there should be a few out there.
