In 1.7.10 that is easy but how to do that in 1.8?

Will require you to spend some time to utilize its full potential.

 

Deal is quite simple: You will need to bake whatever number of items (models) during initialization and then use them in SmartItemModel by pulling them out of registry.

Post any questions, but everything you need is in that tutorial

 

EDIT

About that "full potential" - in past weeks there has been a lot of additions to model code (net.minecraftforge.client.model). Check them out - they are quite nice.
