Hey, I would like to share our progress with Modelbin Textures Collector - update 2. Since this update (02-04-2017) the tool is able to read files in original archives, there is no need to extract anything. The tool directly, silently and quickly decompress archive chunk and finds required data of e...

haha I just PM'd you on GTA Forums, but there's not txetures for lights, steering wheel etc, unless I'm missing something There are no engine or light textures in Forza Horizon 3 like we are used from previous Forza versions. Each engine or light is textured with 'materials' (pre-made commonly used...

anyone know how to obtain direct textures for the cars? (from modelbins) If you mean those like I do, they are inside certain car archive. (#.\media\cars\fer_laferarri_13.zip\Textures|UI\*.swatchbin). These textures are mostly 'unique', meaning there are no other cars using the same texture (dials,...

Thanks for feedback on Modelbin Texture Collector guys. We will figure it out how it will work, we could add support for those who have required library (copy support) and those who not (listing). Anyways, we have been researching and we finally managed to achieve following in Swatchbin Texture Conv...

Very nice work man when will you release because not all of us know how to convert switchbin's to dds. First public beta could be released within this week.

Also, images with only one mipmap, seems to have Data start position as 8C h. Data start position of data to be coll...
