3D model formats?

SDL Development
1

I would like to incorporate small animated 3D models using openGL and
SDL in my game. Kind of like the ones you see pictured at http://www.battle.net/war3/images/human/units/animations/paladin.gif
Can someone point me to some good tutorials on what model formats are
good for this sort of thing?

Hi Trevor

You can use MD2(Quake 2 file format models):
