The creator of Ultimate Unwrap 3D has created a hob Importer that will now support our new models with multi textures.
Ultimate Unwrap 3D can be purchased at a reasonable price here;

you can find the importer on download page at bottom of page here;
Plugin "Birth of the Federation (HOB)"

The simplest way to import model would be to use UE to create a shippack of the model you want.
next extract all files to an empty folder. this will give you most of the files you need.
next open all gif (textures) in any image editor that can convert gif to bmp or tga (Ultimate Unwrap 3D does not support gif format)
convert all gifs to bmp and save with same file name with bmp extension to the same folder as the location as other files from shippack
here is what the importer looks like

- 2.jpg (404.43 KiB) Viewed 3437 times
(old importer put mapping on default single texture)after that you can save as 3ds for editing, conversion to ogre or most other formats sod, mod ect.
Note; don't get to excited conversion to ogre is not very easy, but this is a good start and will save a lot of time.
Note 2; after model is saved to 3ds you would need to use Dr_Breen tutorial to get back to hob.
