The most important advantages of b3d over md2 have been missed. First off, file size: because md2 stores the positions of every vertex for every frame, whereas b3d only stores the positions of bones, md2 files are generally much larger. Second, accuracy: the md2 file format limits the data accuracy of vertex positions, resulting in noticeable wobbling of md2 models. The animated model looks like jiggling jello. Third, lighting: md2 models are not lit as well as b3d models. It has to do with vertex interpolation between animation frames.
