So I'm a Newbie and...

[TLStriker]

...I know nothing about programming and such, but I would like to learn how to edit/create models for the game.  Thing is, what with me being a beginner at all this, I don't even know where to begin looking in order to learn about this stuff.  So, where might I find detailed information that a noob like me could understand and use?  Also, what programs would you guys suggest I use and where might I find tutorials for their use?

I'd really appreciate your help in this.  Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the newbie questions.

same here...I'm pretty much looking for a way to make a model from scratch or simple edits.
I've been looking all over the internets and came across this site.
hopefully someone can help us newbs to great success?

I'm an artist but have no experience in modeling on maya or 3dsmax lol.
I love to learn though.

If anyone can help that'd be awesome.

You're not a noob. You're a newbie.

Also, there's this one Modling tool I used before called "MilkShape".

Yeah, so I've started modeling with 3DS Max.  So far, I have Sephiroth's left leg done.  Thanks for the input, Apophis.

I too am a newbie (mostly on the modding part) and I too would like tutorials on modding and installing the mods for Final Fantasy 7.  Any positive help would be great. Also a list of all the recommended mods too please.

Noobs are a nuisance to us all.  Go sulk in the corner and don't bother us until you learn how to program.  I am the head honcho around here, so you have to obey my orders.
