Data is packed mostly in ".bnk" archives, which is extractable using TDU tools (TDU and VR3 were both made by Eden Games)
I've attached what pops out after the extraction, a ".g2d" file which I guess is texture related, and a ".g3d" which should be the 3D part of the package.
A guy said (here >>> viewtopic.php?p=97370#p97370) these can be already imported, but I don't know how, and which tools are needed.
I've attached both files, original ".bnk" package included, just in case.

Re: V-Rally 3 ".g2d" & ".g3d"
well, you'll have to collect the faces of the submeshes somehow:

Re: V-Rally 3 ".g2d" & ".g3d"
using triangle strips it looks kinda better:
(As you may know in most cases I go for the first submesh only.)
Here the chassis could be done easily provided all models share the same format, FVF= 12 bytes, tristripped face indices (do they?).
The mesh is marked by 'GEOM' so its start is easy to be found.
But I don't know where to find the vertex count(s). For the first 6 (or 7) submeshes it should be 2802 or 2844 (0xB1C) in sum.
Also didn't check for uvs so far.
I'd think about creating a Make_H2O project but it would take too much time, I guess.(As you may know in most cases I go for the first submesh only.)

Re: V-Rally 3 ".g2d" & ".g3d"
just another lifetime wasting project?
There are about 77 VFX objects with 147 submeshes (in sum).
I won't bother finding out the hierarchy ('HIER' sections), position offset can be found here, maybe, or in 'OBJ' sections.
I'll upload a tiny exporter sooner or later which will not care for positions, I guess: (upps, forgot about uvs, should be in UVF sections, nice format, though )
(Did you try out a 3D ripper? From what I saw with 'Ride' (PC) it does not make sense
to dig in the hex data if you can get the model with a ripper.)

well, no surprise.Automotive Gaming wrote:Yes, I've tried and the rip was screwed,
There's some problems with analysing, too many missing objects, some missing faces though I've made some progress: (I know there's people on Xentax who could handle this better but I remember only one of them who cared for cars.)

Re: V-Rally 3 ".g2d" & ".g3d"
I managed to include the missing objects:
When entering the parameters into hex2obj and clicking the 'UVs' button
after having loaded Cordoba.g3d you'll see what I mean.)
Well, I could tell you that the uvs for this submesh probably start at 0x65818 with an UVB size of 8.
But you won't believe me that I found it by trial&error, will you?
It's an offset of vertexcount*16 to the supposed original start address 0x634A8, ok.

Re: V-Rally 3 ".g2d" & ".g3d"
finally I got the uvs working somehow:
