How to start making mods?

[GoldenThumbs]

I'm a 3D artist. I make 3D models and sometimes I make map textures. I would like to create a mod that improves the models and their textures. With the current Saints Row 2 modding tools is it possible to import custom models into the game? If it IS possible then please post a link to a tutorial or something. Would be very much appreciated.

3D stuff cant be imported to SR2 sadly, but you can make texture mods. Check "guides and tutorials" and "tool releases"

Is this because the lack of source code access? Or a proprietary 3D model format?

Source and tools. And im guessing the game limitations too.

It's the file format. cmesh and such. I've looked about backporting sr3 and 4 tools to make them work but no luck so far.
