+# Model Import Process
+
+The goal of this documentation is to go through what it takes to import a model into
+S&box.
+
+This documentation is based of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-L8BvNAbjQ) guide.
+
+## Process
+
+To start you will need the model that you wish to import into S&Box, and the textures
+and the associated textures. The model can contain other things like animations, however,
+those are only added if the model is non-static. A static element could be a picture, where
+a non-static object could be something like a player model.
+
+### Create the VDML Model
+
+To start you can create the VDML model by right clicking the model in S&Box and then clicking
+`Create model...`.
+
+![create-model-import-model](./Img/create-model-import-model.png)
+
+Once that is clicked an explorer window will appear and you will choose where you want the
+vdml file to be saved. You will want the vdml file to be saved within the same folder as the
+model.
+
+![create-model-import-model](./Img/vdml-file-import-model.png)
+
+Double clicking the VDML file will open a program called ModelDoc. ModelDoc is the program that
+ties the animcation, the model, and the textures together to make a fully realized VDML file.

+
+#### Create the .mat File and Attach it to the Model
+
+In order to assoicate the textures with the model we need to create a .mat file. The .mat file
+contains all the textures that will be used on the model. To create a .mat file, right click it
+one of the textures and click `Create Material`.
+
+![create-mat-import-model](./Img/mat-creation-import-model.png)
+
+This will open the material creation window, and depending on the naming scheme of all the textures
+some fields (or all) will have the texture automatically applied. Below contains all the suffixs that
+are reconized by S&Box.
+
+![texture-suffix](./Img/texture-suffix-import-model.png)
+
+Once `Create Material` has been click an explorer window will open. Make sure to save the .mat file in
+the same folder as all the other resources realted to the model. Once that is completed you should see
+the material editor pop up.
+
+![create-mat-window-import-model](./Img/texture-creation-import-model.png)
+
+*NOTE: Make sure that `specular` and `metalness texture` are checkmarked, this will enable PBR materials.*
+
+Go ahead and save the material if everything looks good, and now we can go back to ModelDoc.
+
+#### Associate the .mat File to the Model
+
+Once you are back to the ModelDoc program, located at the left of the application is the `MaterialGroupList`
+and the `RenderMeshList`. What we care about is adding our material we just created to the 
+`DefaultMaterialGroup`.
+
+![assiociate-material-import-model](./Img/model-doc-material-import-model.png)
+
+Clicking on the `DefaultMaterialGroup` will open the `Node Editor`, and clicking the magnifying glass the explorer
+will pop up for us to choose our new material.
+
+![model-doc-mag-glass-import-model](./Img/model-doc-mag-glass-import-model.png)
+
+Traverse to the file that we created and double click it. That will assign the material to the model. You will need
+to go ahead and recompile, after recompiling you should see the texture applied in ModelDoc.
+
+![model-doc-recompile-import-model](./Img/texture-recompile-import-model.png)
+
+If everything looks good, go ahead and save the model in ModelDoc. If there are no animations associated with the
+model, then your done. You can use the VMDL file as is in the project. If there are assoicated models, then go
+to the [Assoicate Animations](#assoicate-animations) section.
+
+#### Assoicate Animations
+
+TODO: Lots to learn on how to even create the animations, once those animations are created, I'll go ahead
+and update this doc on how to do this.
