[[MDL]] is the extension for Source's proprietary model format.  It defines the structure of the model along with animation, bounding box, hit box, material, mesh and [[LOD]] information. It does not, however, contain all the information needed for the model. Additional data is stored in [[PHY]], [[VTX]] and [[VVD]] files.
[[VMT]], short for Valve Material, is a file type that defines a shader and its parameters. Shaders define how surfaces appear and behave in the game. Most VMTs reference at least one [[VTF]], which is a texture that can define colors, refraction, surface normals, etc.
