Just in case you're sing Blender to create your models, try using the exporter here

I've used it to change the ImageTragets sample's teapot for another object and so far I've got away with it quite well. I still have to figure out how to apply textures though.

In order to use the data provided by the .h file I had to include it (of course) and then replace the code

[CODE" />
glVertexAttribPointer(vertexHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0,(const GLvoid*) &teapotVertices[0" />);
glVertexAttribPointer(normalHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0,(const GLvoid*) &teapotNormals[0" />);
glVertexAttribPointer(textureCoordHandle, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0,(const GLvoid*) &teapotTexCoords[0" />);
[/CODE" />

for

[CODE" />
glVertexAttribPointer(vertexHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(vertex_struct), (const GLfloat*) &vertices[0" />.x);
glVertexAttribPointer(normalHandle, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(vertex_struct), (const GLfloat*) &vertices[0" />.nx);
glVertexAttribPointer(textureCoordHandle, 2, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(vertex_struct), (const GLfloat*) &vertices[0" />.u);[/CODE" />

and then replace

[CODE" />
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, NUM_TEAPOT_OBJECT_INDEX, GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, (const GLvoid*) &teapotIndices[0" />);
[/CODE" />

for

[CODE" />
glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLES, (faces_count[0" /> * 3), GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT,(const GLvoid*) &indexes[0" />);[/CODE" />

The model I sed needed some basic transformations (scaling, rotating and translating) but for a start it looked good enough :). Next step should be applying textures but for now, I can't help you with it.

I hope it helps.
