Hey guys, this is Sepi, I love quake a lot, and recently i've been working on an small tool to render quake 1 3d models (MDL files), it is still very much a work in progress, but you can grab the code and compile it and use it.

here is the source code: https://github.com/sepisoad/sqv

I have some ideas to add to this little tool, when i have some free time I will continue working on it.

Why don't you mention in your post (and not in the archive) that you need the Premacy 5 program? It's just a plug-in for this program. It seems to me that it is easier to use the usual viewers "q1mv", "qme3.1", etc., especially since they allow you to work with textures, colors, frames, plumes of projectiles and model rotation. "Blender" has not been canceled either.

I don't understand what you mean? do you have problem building the code? follow the instructions on GitHub, btw it's 'Premake 5' not 'Premacy 5'

both of the mentioned tools are windows specific and not updated or maintained for years as far as I know. plus my tool is very much a WIP and most of the features are either not implemented or completed yet! I didn't create this tool to compete with blender! I am not selling this to you, it's a piece of open source software, if you don't like it, don't use it!!!

I have updated the tool so that it now supports playing character animations as well, it also shows the list of skins and poses
 
Yeah, I saw this one too, looks very advanced in terms of features, but I did not use it.
My tool is at the moment very limited but I plan to add more features to it once i have some more free time, it's really fun actually
