Download pack3d from here; it is used to export and import the 3d objects' components: http://24flotilla.gamab.net/pack3d/Pack3D.jar

Then, google a freeware program called "wings3d". It is what you use to edit the actual .obj files. You should also check out the pack3d thread on this forum to get some tips. Have you done this kind of work before?
