href="https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/1903/" target="_blank">Download</a>**Created by Shadow501**Final Fantasy VII 3D Model Editor is an advanced Windows editing tool designed for modifying models and related assets from the original PlayStation version of **Final Fantasy VII**.The editor brings together 3D model editing, animations, bones, polygons, colors, palettes, textures, FIELD assets, world-map files, scripts, audio, and PlayStation BIN/CUE rebuilding in one application.The project is actively being improved, and additional compatibility, scanning accuracy, and editing features are planned for future versions.---# Main Features* Open compressed and decompressed **Final Fantasy VII .BCX field models*** Open and edit **FF7 battle .LZS models*** Preserve important battle-LZS archive sections while editing model geometry* Display FF7 models directly inside the built-in model viewer* Browse individual models or complete LZS folders* Live model preview* Mouse rotation* Pan* Zoom* Reset camera* Wireframe / polygon grid display* Skeleton display* Direct model selection* Edit model geometry without requiring an external 3D viewer---# Bone EditingThe editor contains extensive tools for working with FF7 skeletal models.* Select Bones directly from the model* Select Bones from the model tree* Copy Bones* Paste Bones* Remove Bones* Export individual Bones*

resizing* Automatically fit imported BCX Bones to destination geometry* Preserve destination Bone bind-pose position* Undo Bone modifications* Redo Bone modifications---# Elastic Bone EditingBones can also be manipulated interactively inside the model preview.* Enable **Elastic Bone** editing mode* Drag Bones directly with the mouse* Attached Parts follow the selected Bone* Child Bones follow the edited Bone hierarchy* Adjustable Bone elasticity* Undo Elastic Bone changes* Redo Elastic Bone changesThis allows model proportions and poses to be modified visually instead of editing coordinates manually.---# Part EditingThe editor supports individual FF7 model Parts such as:* Head* Face* Hair* Chest* Arms* Hands* Legs* Feet* Other character mesh sectionsAvailable Part functions include:* Select Part* Copy Part* Paste Part* Export Part* Import Part* Undo Part changes* Replace compatible Part geometry* Preserve the rest of the model when editing only one Part---# Polygon / Mesh

edited geometry* Modify body and hair shapes* Undo geometry modifications* Redo geometry modifications---# Mesh Stretch EditorThe built-in **Mesh Stretch** mode allows local geometry editing directly inside the 3D preview.Available brush sizes include:* Single* Small* Medium* Large* X-LargeMesh Stretch can be used to:* Pull geometry* Shrink areas* Expand areas* Change body proportions* Modify hair* Adjust individual local mesh regionsThis provides a fast visual method for editing FF7 models without manually entering vertex coordinates.---# Model Resize ToolsThe editor contains several methods for resizing models.* Extend complete model by percentage* Shrink complete model by percentage* Custom model scaling* Safe BCX resizing* Resize individual Bones* Preserve model structure* Undo model-size changesThe safe resize system is designed to preserve Bones, Parts, meshes, and geometry wherever possible.---# Animation EditorThe editor includes built-in support for FF7 skeletal animations.* Detect BCX animations* Browse available animations* Play selected animation* Pause animation* Loop animation* View current animation frame* Select animations individually* Copy animations* Paste animations* Delete animations safely* Import animation data* Export animation data---# Create New AnimationsNew animation data can also be created.Supported creation options include:* Neutral animations* Duplicated animations* Reversed animations* Ping-pong animationsThe editor can also append a **completely new animation slot** to a BCX model.For example:**Animations (3) → Animations (4)**or**Animations (4) → Animations (5)**Animation table data is relocated when required.---# FF7ANIM SupportAnimations can be exported and imported using the custom:**.ff7anim**format.This allows animations to be:* Backed up* Shared* Modified* Reinserted into models* Added as new animation slots---# OBJ Export / ImportWavefront OBJ support is included for external 3D editing.* Export complete FF7 models to **.OBJ*** Export selected Parts to OBJ* Import edited OBJ geometry* Import compatible vertex positions* Edit BCX geometry externally* Edit compatible battle-LZS geometry* Preserve required FF7 model topology during safe importsOBJ files can be edited with compatible 3D applications and imported back into the editor.---# Standalone OBJ EditorThe program also includes a standalone Wavefront OBJ editor.You can:* Open your own OBJ file* Display OBJ geometry* Browse OBJ groups* Edit vertices* Edit vertex colors* Transform selected groups* Transform the complete OBJ* Resize geometry* Center geometry* Save OBJ* Save OBJ As* Undo OBJ modificationsThis functionality can be used independently from FF7 BCX/LZS files.---# Color EditorThe editor contains an advanced built-in model color editor.Supported color modes:* RGB* HSL* HSVColors can be edited for:* Entire model* Selected Part* Selected BoneOther color functions include:* Select model colors* Copy Color* Paste Color* Live color preview* Highlight polygons affected by the selected color* Undo color changes* Redo color changes---# Palette EditingFF7 model palettes can be saved and replaced.* Save all model palette colors* Replace all model palette colors* Save only selected Bone palette colors* Save only selected Part palette colors* Replace selected palette colors* Preserve unrelated model colors* Undo palette modifications* Roll back incompatible changesCustom palette packages use:**.ff7pal**---# PNG Model EditingThe editor can export selected model geometry to PNG for graphical editing.Supported functionality includes:* Export selected Part/Bone PNG* Import edited PNG* Four-view model PNG output* Display actual model areas instead of simple palette blocks* Head editing* Face editing* Chest editing* Limb editing* Other Part/Bone editingThe editor uses a verified mapping sidecar:**.ff7pngmap**This maps PNG information back to the corresponding model data.---# Complete Bone / Model PackagesComplete Bone and attached Part data can be exported using:**.ff7bones**The package can contain complete model-related data for transfer between compatible models.Functions include:* Export every Bone* Export attached Parts* Import complete model packages* Rebuild model tables when Bone/Part counts differ* Preserve destination model hierarchy where required---# BCX to Battle-LZS ConversionThe editor contains specialized tools for transferring BCX geometry into FF7 battle models.Supported operations include:* Convert selected BCX Bones to battle-LZS geometry* Transfer vertices* Transfer triangles* Transfer quads* Transfer model colors* Preserve destination Bone hierarchy* Preserve destination Bone placement* Auto-fit source Bone size* Rebuild visible battle-model geometry* Preserve non-model battle sections where possibleThis can be used for creating customized battle-model geometry from field-model parts.---# Rebuild BCX Like ReferenceA BCX model can be rebuilt based on another compatible reference BCX.The editor can attempt to match:* Part layout* Animation layout* Model structure* Raw size* Packed sizeThis is useful when an edited model must remain structurally compatible with another FF7 model.---# Global Undo / RedoThe editor contains global model history support.**Ctrl + Z — Undo****Ctrl + Y — Redo**Undo/Redo can cover operations such as:* Bone edits* Bone posing* Part replacement* Mesh editing* Mesh stretching* Model scaling* Color editing* Palette editing* Geometry changes---# FIELD Folder SupportFinal Fantasy VII FIELD files can be browsed directly.The tool can:* Open complete FF7 FIELD folders* Browse FIELD assets* Open individual FIELD `.DAT` files* Display supported detected content* Import compatible edited data* Export supported data* Repack FIELD files---# DAT ScannerThe editor includes a scanner for Final Fantasy VII **.DAT** files.The scanner attempts to automatically identify and process supported data and assets inside FIELD DAT files.Current functionality includes:* Scan `.DAT` files* Detect supported FF7 data* Browse detected assets* Open individual FIELD DAT files* Work with supported detected content* Import/export supported assets* Repack compatible DAT data### Current DAT Scanner Status**The DAT scanner is still under development.**Some `.DAT` files currently have issues and may not scan or detect all data correctly.Possible current issues include:* Some assets may not be detected* Some data structures may be detected incorrectly* Certain DAT files may show incomplete results* Some unusual FIELD DAT layouts may not yet be supported* Automatic scanning may occasionally identify incorrect offsets* Compatibility may differ between different FIELD filesThese issues are known and do not mean development has stopped.### Future DAT Scanner UpdatesFuture versions will continue to **tune up and improve the DAT scanner**.Planned improvements include:* Better scanning accuracy* Better automatic offset detection* Improved asset detection* Improved compatibility with more FF7 DAT files* Fewer false detections* Better validation of detected data* Improved stability* Faster scanning* Better handling of unusual DAT structures* More supported asset types**Note:** If a DAT file does not scan correctly in the current version, support may be improved in a future update.---# FIELD.TDB Texture SupportThe editor includes dedicated support for:**FIELD.TDB**Available functions include:* Open FIELD.TDB* Detect texture information* Extract textures* Export textures to PNG* Import edited PNG textures* Replace textures* Repack FIELD.TDB---# LZS Folder BrowserThe editor can browse complete directories containing FF7 LZS files.* Open a single LZS* Open an LZS folder* Recursively browse folders* Preview compatible LZS content* View models directly* Identify LZS files containing TIM texture/effect images---# TIM Texture / Effect DetectionSome FF7 LZS files contain TIM graphics instead of 3D model data.The editor can recognize these files and display information such as:* Texture width* Texture height* Bits per pixel* Palette count* VRAM positionThis helps distinguish model LZS archives from graphical/effect LZS files.---# World Map EditorFF7 world-map terrain is supported through:**WM0.MAP**Available functionality includes:* Open world-map MAP files* Decompress world-map terrain* Browse terrain blocks* Browse terrain meshes* Display terrain geometry* Export selected terrain block to OBJ* Export complete terrain to OBJ* Import compatible edited terrain geometry* Undo terrain mesh changes* Repack world-map dataMore features and fixes will be added as development continues.**Created by Shadow501**</blockquote>
