In my free time I have written my own OBJ Model Loader. In order for it to work the models myst be exported from Blender as a OBJ with the following settings.
File -> Export -> Wavefront(*.obj)
You only really need to change to the Export and Blender Objects as OBJ settings

Here are some screens of the current version of my OBJ Model Loader. It will load verticies, normals and colour materials from the corresponding *.mtl file of the Object. In OBJ_Loader v2.3 I have used vector and index arrays to draw the object. Unfortunately you loose use the normals when you do this, and you will see when you run the program that it reacts very poorly to lighting.

Have to tilt forwad to get looking ok-ish |
I have made a verision of ths program that runs on the iPhone, but rather than use Lighting and Materials I just colour the different parts of the model. I use the Diffuse colur as glColor4f(r,g,b,a) so the image will appear in the correct way, allow slightly toonish with no Shading or Lighting effects (running in iPhone Simulator below).
In an earlier build, OBJ_Loader v2.0, of the program using glBegin() and glEnd() I have the model loading with the normals exported from Blender. This gives a more "3D" feel and look to the model but it is not as efficient as rendering them as the method used in the more recent version of the program. As these functions are not in OpenGL ES I cannot get this to work on the iPhone.
