Newcomer - question about modeling

[Setosith]

Hello everyone. I've long been a fan of Final Fantasy and I just recently began learning about 3d modeling. I've been using a program called Blender. I'm getting the hang of it relatively fast. I was wondering if Blender can be used to to model ff7? If not can one of you point me in the direction of a good "all you need" tutorial of sorts? I know nothing about the tools I saw listed. I suppose I could learn but I've no clue where to start. Thanks for your time.

Well it will take some time to learn these stuff when modding for ff7, i would suggest reading through alot of threads in the forums and slowly get to know how the game works and that. I still am no expert but im getting the grips of it which i would like to test out soon in the upcoming holidays, for starts read and check these threads out:

Also a main tool for extracting those weird .lgp files from battle.lgp etc i recommend you use ULGP forget the others like LGPTools and that here:

These files are the bits of models they're like seperated into bits. And here is a spreadsheet showing what each file is like for example Cloud's right arm is 'rtaw':

Very helpful. Thank you.  I had a few of the ones you named. I'm starting to recognize file types and all that....as for modeling I havent even attempted it yet. Figured I should learn my way around before I start chopping things up. Anyway thanks. I shall drink this in.
