How to Rip Animated Models from ROMs - Fin Model Utility

Ойындар

I'd like to finally show off the model extraction program I've been working on for the past year: Fin Model Utility! It's still young enough of a program that you'll likely run into issues with some models, but I hope that folks will still find this useful in the meantime.

    I’m slowly learning unreal and getting into animating and modelling again. I’ve always been obsessed with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on the GameCube and thought what if I could rip out everything and put it in unreal and play through the game with all my mates again. This video gave me a lot of hope. Thank you and I hope one day you’re program will be able to export all GameCube roms and more.

    I love the work put into this it looks absolutely amazing. I've gotta ask is it possible to make a tutorial or share how you prepare a game to work with this so were not restricted to the games you set up yourself? maybe next time you set up a game to work you could even just document your process? I'm sure even that would be a big help.

    That's a great work piece of work you did there, well done ! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with the philosophy of being able to import models for fan projects, and using games rig & animations instead of wasting times trying to redo them. I've already checked your tool in order to see if it could handle Majoras Mask 3D, but yeah, I just made it go on exceptions after exceptions x) Maybe I could contribute later, but I'm still learning about the formats of the games, so I don't think I could bring anything new for now. However, I've also looked into Switch Toolbox, and they seems to have everything for parsing every structures in OoT3D and MM3D :: if you apply a small fix though. (they wrongly assume at one point that the .gar.lzs are compressed (but they mostly aren't) and they've removed a try catch in Switch_Toolbox_Library/IO/STFileLoader.cs since last march that handled that case, so just by adding one, you have MM3D that is handled properly in their software, and you can look at how they're parsing the various files) Maybe you could improve your own tool and get support for MM3D by looking at them ?

    I would love to be able to extract assets from the likes of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Tools like this are incredibly helpful, not only because of the aforementioned rigging issue, but because a lot of these other model-ripping measures require you to physically play the game until you reach whatever you want to rip, and then transfer whatever is being rendered onscreen, which of course is practically worthless if you're looking to extract levels.

    This tool sounds fantastic ... for only just thosed few games. The end of the vid made me feel like there's no hope for people that need models from unpopular games, like ANY of Mario party on Ds, 3ds, or Gamecube, or Gotcha Force on GameCube, or Quest 64 on N64. I really had hope untill it was crushed, given that the tool only works on specific games rather than be a general tool for all GC, DS, 3DS, N64 games. Well at least the popular kids once again get to eat good, while we outcast have to remain dealing with the same issued you complained about innthe beginning... I know it takes resources to do what you did but it suck having constantly take the L in this space
