Sure, what do you want to know?
GEM uses an opensource library called glm to load models. The models
are the Wavefront .OBJ format which uses a plain ASCII text file to
store the vertex, normal, and texture coordinate data. glm works
well in GEM with two caveats that I know about:
- GEM doesn't allow for the separation of groups. The entire model
is loaded as one display list and uploaded to the graphics hardware.
- glm seems to have problems with parsing .obj files that have
comments between blocks of data.
Both of these are being looked into.

I believe Blender will output .obj files. At some point in the near
future, I hope to have GEM saving .obj files out to disk, but that
won't be for some time.
