Re: Extracting simple models

In my last posted file and the one in this post - I get what seems like a good point cloud with verts correctly placed. - What I don't understand is how the point cloud could be good, but the faces are all jumbled up? The one in this post I have not yet located the UVs, but I am pretty sure I got th...

Re: Extracting simple models

it's not a matter of its capability, it's a matter of your creativity. :D
- LOL :D - My creativity did indeed get some new energy now that you showed that extracting from this file format actually could be done.

Great news! - I will keep tinkering with it. - Thanks for a great new start.

Re: Extracting simple models

Trying to extract some characters from a game, but I cant make sense of the structure at all -So I am just guessing the adresses.

Would this be something Hex2Obj is capable of extracting?
Could someone provide some advise for adresses please?

Re: Extracting simple models

Some UVs are giving me problems.. - The problems are typically from "secondary" textures like camouflage wrapping for weapons. Some of the vertices are stretched way off where they are supposed to be.- See the attached picture. What can be the cause of this? And can I do something to corre...

Re: Extracting simple models

Thanks for those detailed instructions AceWell. Excactly what I needed :) - Also finally had success with transfering UVs from the UVs.obj to the different subs of the main mesh. Problem was I had collapsed the UVs into a single object and that brought the UVs out of alignment with the mesh data. I ...

Re: Extracting simple models

use "File>SaveAs mesh" when you are done, that will save out a working obj file with the settings you have in Hex2obj. i should note that there is no shortall with Halffloat UV setting, so you have to save out 2 obj files with both settings and combine the correct UVs (lines that start wi...

Re: Extracting simple models

The extracted UV-map is an .obj file. Cant get my head around how this can be used for anything else than a UV-template.

Is there a way to use this as UV-mapping on the extracted object(s) without having to UV-Unwrap the main object itself?
I use Blender and Max.

Re: Extracting simple models

:!: Thank you for your help AceWell :!: Your priceless :D So following a racional thought Unkn0005.dat should have more model data stored inside or do you think it´s only textures? Wondering if the file to look for is File0017-broken.tga (with 9051KB) to find car model instead of .DAT ones.... For ...

Re: Extracting simple models

I have unpacked a some game files including 3D models that came without any file extension. I have been trying to use Hex2Obj on them for countless hours already, but all I have managed to show in preview was a mangled mess of planes. Could someone more experienced take a look on these 2 files and m...
