→File formats for 3D models
During the development process, 3D models contain a good deal of information needed by the artist every time they save or load the model. When the model is finished, it is often exported and broken up into smaller files with many unneeded attributes striped from them. When the models for FF7 were created, they were exported into Psy-Q's 3D library formats. These include [[PSX/RSD|resource data (.RSD)]], polygon data (.PLY), polygon groups (.GRP), materials (.MAT), [[PSX/TIM_file|textures (.TIM)]], [[PSX/HRC|skeletal hierarchy (.HRC)]], and animation (.ANM).
The models are handled differently between modules. The models in the "battle" modules have a different animation system than the field models. When the models were converted to the PC version, they were taken from the Psy-Q formats to a more PC-friendly format, some one. Some are even the original, uncompiled, Psy-Q files.
