I use notepad sometimes, but I'm always scared I'll break something.

You know, POF files can be opened in notepad. I guess it would be technically possible (though extremely difficult) to make a model that way.

No, it wouldn't. POF files are binary, so you're better off using a hex editor; text editors have much greater potential to **** things up.

Oh. I thought that any type of file could be edited in Notepad, even if it's extremely difficult to do it that way.

  Lol... You can't even edit a .doc file with notepad! About 99% of the files you are likely to have on a PC cannot be edited in n/p

If a text editor is able to write all 256 possible bytes (I'm not sure if M$ Notepad does), then yes, it is technically possible. But, as you noted, for binary-encoded files (like .doc, .pof and also .exe) this would be extremely difficult, bordering on the impossible. Hex editors are more suited for that, they are for binary files what Notepad is for ASCII files.

Damn I remember the days when I used a dos hex editor to edit dune2, simcity (etc.) player files and get infinite cash.
