I guess we will have to wait for this if we still want to get updated rachel...

I found someone ripped it and put it online. I got the 3dmax format and xnalara version both from xnalara forum, but it's almost 10 years old and it looks pretty bad compare to the updated sigma 1&2 counterparts.

There is a noesis plugin for NG2 that works perfectly and Rachel's model is easily accessible. NG 2 does not have Rachel , you would know if you played the game. Rachel only appeared in Ninja Gaiden 1 , Sigma 1 , and Sigma 2 . Read my post again, I am looking for reading Sigma 2 format. Only Rachel...

does this script work for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 gmd files? how different are the models between ninja gaiden sigma 2 and ninja gaiden 3 models?

I am still hoping rachel's model could be extracted someday.

some what off topic

is this done by save file editing or by game file substitution?

considering that I couldn't even find sigma 1 version of rachel (it actually existed before, that's why there are RE4 mod with rachel's body) I'd like to obtain any version right now.

apparently someone already had this, but I have no idea how he did it.

I'd love to know if there's a rip out there already.

howfie, can you answer my question now? I still have no idea what that list is for.

aww damn it, it barely started and didn't really get far. nice to know some header stuff, but I wish there's more. is the author considering continuing it?

i started looking at this format last night... got to the point where you extract all the OBJGEO/GEODECL pairs. some things confuse me though, like: can you explain to me what geo means? what is OBJGEODATA and what is GEODECLDATA? also what exactly do these numbers mean? if these pairs are descript...

so which file contain the face coordinates? I looked over the different gmd files but I think they are all body files.

all the other files don't have the geodec descriptions in there. man, this is way more different than the ninja gaiden 2 format

I have visual c++ installed, I just don't know what I should use to view the model files I have read.
I have some opengl, but it's a pretty raw toolkit.

a lot of coders were able to capture images of their process of cracking the model files, and I have no idea how they do that.

I am a C++ console programmer who seldom do rendering stuff, and I want to get into cracking model formats I know a lot of people simply use 3D max scripts to read in the model formats and read the data, but I don't have the hardware or the software to run 3D max right now. for those of you who use ...

any one still on this task?

I am going to starting learning, wish I took cryptography so I can recognize the patterns easier.

but please keep us updated with your progress, thanks.
