How do i make a playermodel for Quake III Arena?

hey, so im actually like new to modding this game and im kinda curious on how do i actually make a playermodel since i have blender since i was like researching on how to make one, but most of these rely on 3ds max which is another program and since i can't find any good tutorials.

im kinda curious if there is a tutorial for it on blender. thanks.
