I am pretty sure there is a maxscript for SO3 on the forums, which also works with Valkyrie Profile 2 and Radiata Stories. I guess there was no skeleton support though.

I was planning to make a tool for VP2 but I didn't get a chance to start, because of other games. Maybe I can do it sometime.
Unfortunately, the SO3 script supports some VP2 models, but most of them can not be read.
It is a part of the field and NPC, and most of the main characters can not be read...

But if you were able to create tools for VP2 it would be really wonderful.
I'm not want to break the rules of the forum, but I don't hesitate to pay for consideration.
Because VP2 is the game I loved the most and models and textures are very beautiful.

by the way, I know that the model in battle scenes has been diverted to Valkyrie Anatomia.

I didn't get this. Does that mean VA uses the same models as VP2?

This reminded me that I should release the Valkyrie Anatomia tool. It has been quite some time since I finished it, but too lazy to clean up and upload :D

Yes, but only for models of low polygons in battle.
Of course the file format is different. I talk about geometory. Although there are some differences somewhat accurately, I think it is almost the same.
Alicia, Lufas, Lezard(Boss).

The VP2 tool is also desirable, but Anatomia's tools would be great, too. We will wait for the next report!

Perhaps a silly question, but I have managed to extract the models given the tools above, but I'm not sure how thetextures are supposed to be applied. I extracted them separately, but am not sure how to reapply them to the model. Does this have to be done in another tool?

You can do that in a 3D Software of your choice : Blender, Maya, 3ds Max etc.

I managed to get a model out, and it looks like Noesis sees bones, but when I export to Blender (trying as .OBJ and .DAE) it doesn't seem to bring the bones over. Is there any kind of special setting or parameter I need to set? I tried the UV flipping based on some other threads I had seen on the forum, but with no luck.

Alternatively, is there another program I could / should be pulling it into if I want the skeleton, so I can try posing the model?

EDIT: : I *think* I solved it in case anyone else has the issue. Export as .FBX with the parameter -fbxnewexport .

Obj format doesn't have skeleton/skinning support, so you shouldn't be using that. Dae should work fine actually, but I use fbx export myself. I don't know if Blender can import fbx though.

Alternatively you can export the model as IQE and use the IQE import script for Blender. Maybe that might work better for you. There are links in the first post for how to load IQE.

Hi! I followed all steps but I can't decompress/unpack models and textures... :[

For Models I take the Characters folder of in-game files and for Textures the Images folder.... I used Nox to take the files with root and ES file manager Pro...

I drag and drop the folder that contains the .asf files to the SOADec.exe, cmd black screen appeared, it closes, and no decompress/unpack files over there... so I can't open them with SOAExporter and so on... Same for textures (even with textures I tried it manually with node.js command prompt and master files but no extracted files...)

I don't know what I'm doing bad, I tried, tried and tried but no results come, please some help with it :[ thanks!

I am assuming you are using the files from the global/english version of the game. Only the JP version of the game works atm. Global version files are using a new encryption method.
