		+	Misfit is very easy to use, if you've used 3d applications previously you'll get used to misfit quickly. It's not packed with a lot of bells and whistles but for a quick model, it can save you a lot of time - especially when it comes to getting ready/textured models perfectly suited to q3 based maps.

	Misfit can save md3 models natively, this saves a great deal of time and effort if you wish to create your own models for inclusion in your maps - however, in order for this to work properly you should work in the final location/folder that your model will be loaded from.
