If you convert it with animations it will still wobble as md3. If you convert it then animate it it'll be ok.

Not some.
All.

Like as said, converting mdl to md3 will not undo the wobble damage of the MDL ever.

I want to convert the static mdl to md3 and then animate it.

Thanks for the cute animal. I give up for now. I applied an idle movement to the player, and the weapon is not wobbling. It is fixed.
However, I think it might be a skin issue. Is the skin format the same as for a mdl? The mdl uses an external TGA texture and everything works fine.

yeah i think that skin should work for the md3 version

OK, last questions regarding md3 before I move on to create all mdl weapons:
1. in qME should I have a skin folder? You know, in the left pane, I have a 'Frames' folder and some models have a 'Skin' folder. If I create a skin using the skin wizard, it messes it up. The mdl works fine without creating the skin.
2. I am currently using the _bump and _gloss texture combination and I'm happy with the result. However, could I use shaders (I'm using DP) to improve the bump and shine effect on the weapon? And could you give an example of the shader? I have a lot of info on q3 shaders, but nothing about glossiness and bumpmapping.
