= The idea =

Thankfully Treyarch are using almost the same Converter.exe version as IW did in COD4 and for this reason you can actually carry the files directly from one to the other. Oddly enough you must rename the Xmodelparts and Xmodelsurfs of the COD4 files but other than that it is straight forward.

= What you need =

Just gather the files required for the xmodel you wish to carry over. You can use the excellent [[Call of Duty 5: Xmodel Exporter|XmodelModel]] Exporter to identify the files you will need;
 
* Materials
* Material properties
* Images *.iwi (all: color, normal, specular)
* Xmodel
* Xmodelparts
* Xmodelsurfs

= Import process =

Now copy in the proper folder in CODWaW Raw folder but rename the last 2 above Xmodelparts and Xmodelsurfs by removing the first letter in the filename. 
Example: if the filename is ''wood_table_lod01'' then rename it as ''ood_table_lod01'' 

Thats it, now the model will show in Radiant. If you are adding it to the map/mod then you must also add a line for each Xmodel in the Zone File like this: 

xmodel,me_banana_box1

= texture issues =

Now one last thing ... the specular texture from cod4 don't work too well so you might have to redo the material files. 
I use [[Call of Duty 5: Xmodel Exporter|XmodelModel]] to get the filenames and [http://www.crazybump.com CrazyBump] to create the Normal/Specular maps. 

Good Luck!
