MilkShape 3D

MilkShape 3D is a 3D modeling program meant for manipulation of formats used in computer games released from 1998 to around 2007 (development, although apparently almost nothing beyond maintenance, nominally continued up to 2011). To anyone from thereafter, its primary potential use is in converting between a relatively large number (around 50) of these formats.
In addition to the models per se, MilkShake 3D can also convert skeletons and animation.
The following is a table of options listed in the import/export menu of version 1.8.5 Beta 2, the last version (from 2011). This is in addition to its native MilkShape model format.
