I don't know if anyone has determined what format ST's models are in? If they're in a unique proprietary format, I doubt they will ever be imported to SoM. If they are in Playstation's standard TMD format (technically I think PS1 animated models are in RSD format) then there is some hope for an eventual import.
Currently Mick's MDL converter is a long way away from that. I don't think anyone has ever successfully extracted an animated PS1 model in TMD/RSD format-at least I've never even seen a viewer tool much less an extractor. There have been some extractors for propietary game-specific models (FF etc) but not for Sony's standard TMD/RSD. It might be easier to extract just the models (no animation) and then add our own animation. That could possibly happen soon.
