This tutorial assumes that you already know how to create, compile & create GSCs,CSVs & FastFiles for your maps

By Irishstorm

This video tutorial will show you the basics of importing model made in Blender into CoD.

Whats needed

Blender 2.5 or later (from 2.62 on there's no more limitation in material name length if importing from OBJ!)
CoDEmanX's Blender plugin (BlenderCoD)

There's no need to do "Quads to Tris" before export, the addon will triangulate everything automatically!
Texture doesn't matter, it gets written to export file but Asset Manager ignores it
If you change to the "Scripting" view in Blender, in the upper part you find a log window. Scroll down before exporting to see when it's finished (green entry showing the time it took)
You may run Blender from console (cmd) if you experience problems, the addon may print some info and warnings
