This is further problem when I then import that model in Blender. Is there a way to export MDL7 model together with textures and then import them both in Blender? (such that texture mapping is preserved)

Try all formats from MED and have a look... Tutorials: [Blender]Terrain creation ENG/GER [Blender]Low Poly Tree Modeling [GIMP]Create a Texture for Terrains CLICK HERE

You can export it as fbx, convert the fbx by the free Autodesk Fbx Converter to .obj Format, which you can import in blender. http://www.puppenheim.org/ http://www.wuerfels-welt.de Old Game Tutorial: http://www.puppenheim.org/MITutorial.zip Free Game Editor: http://puppenheim.org/AlienalsWeihnachtsmann.zip http://www.puppenheim.org/blender_starting_main_settings.txt
