Using Cubik models for Entities

Does anyone have any good resources on using models created from Cubik for entities?  I looked at McJty's tutorial, and I have it rendering using a simple texture, but I would like to move past that and use the model generated from `Cubik`.

I noticed it gives the following options for export:

1. JSON: Minecraft model
2. Java: minecfraft Mod Entity model
3. OBJ: Wavefront obj model

I figure that I need to do the following.

1. Export it as a JAVA
2. Rename it to the existing ModelMeteor, which extends ModelBase.  

   1. public class MeteorModel extends ModelBase {
      
          //fields
          ModelRenderer e1;
          ModelRenderer e2;
          ModelRenderer e3;
          ModelRenderer e4;
          ModelRenderer e5;
          ModelRenderer e6;
      
          public CubikModel()
          {
              textureWidth = 64;
              textureHeight = 64;
      
              e1 = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 55);
              e1.addBox(3F, 7F, 3.5F, 11, 1, 8);
              e1.setRotationPoint(3F, 7F, 3.5F);
              e1.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e1.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e1, 0F, 0F, 0F);
              e2 = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 48);
              e2.addBox(4F, 5F, 4.5F, 9, 1, 6);
              e2.setRotationPoint(4F, 5F, 4.5F);
              e2.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e2.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e2, 0F, 0F, 0F);
              e3 = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 48);
              e3.addBox(4F, 8F, 4.5F, 9, 1, 6);
              e3.setRotationPoint(4F, 8F, 4.5F);
              e3.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e3.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e3, 0F, 0F, 0F);
              e4 = new ModelRenderer(this, 38, 58);
              e4.addBox(5.5F, 4F, 5F, 6, 1, 5);
              e4.setRotationPoint(5.5F, 4F, 5F);
              e4.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e4.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e4, 0F, 0F, 0F);
              e5 = new ModelRenderer(this, 38, 58);
              e5.addBox(5.5F, 9F, 5F, 6, 1, 5);
              e5.setRotationPoint(5.5F, 9F, 5F);
              e5.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e5.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e5, 0F, 0F, 0F);
              e6 = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 55);
              e6.addBox(3F, 6F, 3.5F, 11, 1, 8);
              e6.setRotationPoint(3F, 6F, 3.5F);
              e6.setTextureSize(64, 64);
              e6.mirror = false;
              setRotation(e6, 0F, 0F, 0F);
          }
      
          public void render(Entity entity, float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5)
          {
              super.render(entity, f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5);
              setRotationAngles(f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, entity);
      
              e1.render(f5);
              e2.render(f5);
              e3.render(f5);
              e4.render(f5);
              e5.render(f5);
              e6.render(f5);
          }
      
          private void setRotation(ModelRenderer model, float x, float y, float z)
          {
              model.rotateAngleX = x;
              model.rotateAngleY = y;
              model.rotateAngleZ = z;
          }
           
          public void setRotationAngles(float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5, Entity entity)
          {
              super.setRotationAngles(f, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, entity);
          }
       
      }

       

3. Update RenderMeteor somehow to bind to the new model.

   1. public class RenderMeteor extends Render<EntityMeteor> {
      
          private ModelMeteor modelMeteor = new ModelMeteor();
          private ResourceLocation meteorTexture = new ResourceLocation(MeteorsMod.MODID, "textures/entity/fallingmeteor.png");
      
      
      
          public RenderMeteor(RenderManager renderManager, ModelBase model, float shadow) {
              super(renderManager);
              this.modelMeteor = new ModelMeteor();
              this.shadowSize = shadow;
          }
      
          @Override
          public void doRender(EntityMeteor entity, double d, double d1, double d2, float f, float f1) {
              renderMeteor(entity, d, d1, d2, f, f1);
          }
      
          public void renderMeteor(EntityMeteor entityMeteor, double d, double d1, double d2, float f, float f1) {
      
              GL11.glPushMatrix();
              GL11.glTranslatef((float)d, (float)d1, (float)d2);
              GL11.glRotatef(entityMeteor.prevRotationYaw + (entityMeteor.rotationYaw - entityMeteor.prevRotationYaw) * f1, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
              GL11.glRotatef(entityMeteor.prevRotationPitch + (entityMeteor.rotationPitch - entityMeteor.prevRotationPitch) * f1, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
              this.bindTexture(meteorTexture);
              float f2 = 1.0F * (float)entityMeteor.size;
              GL11.glScalef(f2, f2, f2);
              modelMeteor.renderWithSize(entityMeteor.size, 0.0625F);
              GL11.glPopMatrix();
          }
      
          @Override
          public boolean canRenderName(EntityMeteor entity){
              return false;
          }
      
      
          @Override
          protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(EntityMeteor entity) {
              return meteorTexture;
          }
      
          public static class Factory implements IRenderFactory<EntityMeteor> {
      
              @Override
              public Render<? super EntityMeteor> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager) {
                  return new RenderMeteor(manager, ModelManager.models.get("meteor"), 0.5f);
              }
      
          }
      
      }

       

4. ModelManager will likely stay the same

   1. public class ModelManager {
          public static Map<String, ModelBase> models = new HashMap<String, ModelBase>();
          public static void init(){
              models.put("meteor",new ModelMeteor());
          }
      }

       

5. I'm also assuming my EntityRegistration will also stay the same?

   1. ResourceLocation meteorRL = new ResourceLocation(MeteorsMod.MODID + ":falling_meteor");
              EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(meteorRL, EntityMeteor.class, "falling_meteor", entityId++, MeteorsMod.instance, 256, 1, true);

       

6. And then I need to put the entity model json inside the resources/assets/meteors/models/entity folder?

But after trying the above, I'm still not getting it to render properly.. so any resources would be most appreciated.
