Hey guys, I've recently started looking into model creation to help contribute to the ff7 modifications around here.
I have already acquired Blender, LGP/UNLGP, Gimp, and Biturn
But I have found that I need to do more reading before I am fully aware of how to successfully manipulate/revamp the models I extract from ff7.
For example, I have no clue what uv maps are, or how to alter color of models in blender. Even how to sculpt.
And I don't know if texturing has to be done solely in gimp or what. Whenever I try to apply a texture brush in blender nothing happens. haha shoot, any kind of tool.
So I'm asking for people to point me toward resources they used to learn how to properly manipulate ff7 models in blender, and how to properly convert textures and those models between programs and such.
It'd make things a lot more smooth because Im completely new to this kind of thing. Also, college is in full swing for me now so the less searching the better hahah.
Any help, tips or links are greatly appreciated guys!
