You can use our MD2 to OBJ conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch MD2 to OBJ converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your MD2 file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted MD2 file before this time.

Our 3D model MD2 to OBJ tool will load your MD2 file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting MD2 to OBJ work?

In order to successfully convert an MD2 formatted file to the OBJ format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an MD2 file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create MD2 files to the exact specification.

Take your MD2 file

An MD2 file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the MD2 file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated OBJ file size is smaller.

Convert the data from MD2 to OBJ

Now that the data from the MD2 file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final OBJ file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the OBJ format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the OBJ format

At this point, the MD2 to OBJ conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the OBJ format. Our tool creates the OBJ file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the OBJ file specification to ensure the file opens in compatible OBJ file editors.

File format information for MD2 and OBJ

Extension	MD2
Full Name	Quake II Model
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

The MD2 file format is the native 3D model format used by the Quake II videogame engine. Developed for the purpose of storing animated 3D game characters, the MD2 format has also found its way into other 3D game engines.

Within an MD2 file can be found 3D geometric data representing the game character, including vertices, faces and material information. Also included are the animation keyframes necessary for in-game animations and poses.

MD2 files can be opened with the specialist 3D editing software, or you can use our range of MD2 file converters to process MD2 files into other 3D formats, such as OBJ.

MD2 Converter Capabilities

Our MD2 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any color material data contained within MD2 files, so the converted file will not contain any color information.

Extension	OBJ
Full Name	Wavefront
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	text/plain
Format	Text
Opens With	MeshLab, CAD Assistant, DAZ Studio

The OBJ file format is a 3D graphics file format used to define complex 3D models, including geometry, materials, and textures. OBJ files are text files, making them human-readable and easy to modify by hand. The downside to this ease of readability is that the files can become rather large when dealing with large or complex 3D models.

As mentioned, the OBJ format stores not only 3D model geometry but also materials and textures. These materials are usually defined in a separate file with the MTL file extension and specify geometry rendering details such as diffuse and specular color, transparency, and much more.

The OBJ material file can also reference external texture files. These are usually JPEG or PNG files; however, these can be older formats, such as TGA. Where materials are used, the OBJ file will also contain material names preceding the geometry faces they should be applied to. If textures are referenced, the geometry will also contain texture coordinates (UV) for each vertex.

OBJ Converter Capabilities

Our 3D conversion tool does not support color or material information in OBJ files, so your file will not contain any color information.

Information for converting from MD2 to OBJ

Your MD2 file will be converted to a OBJ file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our MD2 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any color information if it is present in your MD2 file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
