Brute Force (XBOX 2003) - Models

[shakotay2]

well, on a quick check (following DKDave) this (start of face indices, v cnt, v addr):
0. 0x290 , 38 verts at 0xb8acc
1. 0x310 , 64 verts at 0xb8e5c
2. 0x3E0 , 64 verts at 0xb945c
3. 0x4B0 , 64 verts at 0xb9a5c
4. 0x580 , 108 verts at 0xba05c

So, that's not overwhelming (from the vertex counts). More research to be done. (My motivation? You know... )

Guess a search for 7250E71F for example (because of varying block size) could give more addresses/counts.

(Params to be used with the .ivd file, btw.)

Picked up params of some bigger meshes (sub_mesh_no, hex_start address of FIs, dec_vertexCount, vertexStart):

 168. 3aab0, 746 at 0x35ceac
 169. 3b400, 518 at 0x36149c

Rest not worth to mention.

Start address of face indices had to be corrected for some unk reason (usually start with 0000 0100 0200; maybe not always).
Also you'll need to trick around with the counts sometimes. FVFsize= 24 (or try 32)
Face_index_count: trial & error

Guess, I'm done with this format. Well, here's a Make_H2O tool:

I really hope someone releases a script to extract these models and textures (maybe even anims), I'm willing to pay for their troubles if needed, I've been wanting these assets for a very long time..

[Ivan04]

This was one of my childhood games, I'm really interested on extracting models from it too, hopefully someone's up to the task.

With RenderDoc Fbx Exporter and Xemu used together properly with multiple frame capturing (at least 3 or 4) using the "trigger capture" button, you can get some models from any emulated Xbox game in a 3D screenshot format with some time. It's not that great because there is no way to export the models ripped through the emulator/renderdoc with their correct UV Mapping or skeleton rig at all. It is the only tool like Ninjaripper that actually works on Xemu. You could still use these ripped models for modifcation though, and with some effort I believe then they can be made better. I'll link this piece of brutus that was ripped here for usage. It is a raw model and has been rescaled and stretched to appear more accurate, though it is not perfect whatsoever. I've managed to get flints legs, tex's body, and quite a few textures from the game using the program. It reveals all textures shown in the frame you capture, ready for converting to png/jpg as well.

I have linked here the full 3D Model of the shotgun directly from the game, using RenderDoc.
I've accurately stretched and resized the shotgun model as close as I could. The UV Map is completely wrong, but that's it.

The 3D model of the shotgun with a ripped Brutus piece, which I did not include in the .rar file because it wasn't ripped in the t-pose for some reason. But in RenderDoc the character model pieces do have a t-pose when you preview them.

Thank you so much!! I'll be looking further into this. Sadly, the lack of UV's or textures makes this really troublesome..

uvs of static models in ivd files are easy to optain:

If the UV map is able to be somehow made to work onto the shotgun model I got, then here is the texture. I don't fully have a grasp on how all of the technical model things like that are done. Can hex2obj extract the model files as an OBJ file? because I didn't see an option. It's either Renderdoc fbx exporter or that program (if it even lets you do that) for the time being.

[manbig343]

Here is what Shea Mccombs, the person who worked on the game that had their website up with those model screenshots - had to say when I asked if the models still existed somewhere in a format that was useable or if a script existed to work with them.
This might be helpful to know.

Usually I don't care for weapons.
But well, to help you step in into the format: I'd need the info in which ivd file that gun is to be found?

Use File\SaveAs mesh
(suiting params required, of course, addresses and counts for vertices and face indices, FVFsize)

btw, I noticed a difference between the count of objects (derived from the count of signature findings in an xbm file) and the (bigger) count of sub meshes (derived from 000001000200 findings in the belonging ivd file).

(Maybe it's just that objects may have several sub meshes each but someone should have a look on this.)
Or it's this problem?

Parts of these xmb files are obfuscated, so not sure how to parse them to get to the file table, but it might help.

Minor problem is some superfluous faces/solved:

Still active? Funny!

[manbig343]

As I mentioned previously, I'm simply cheating my way into getting these models out of the game by using renderdoc fbx exporter, while emulating the game and just ripping the models through the program.
The shotgun model itself I know for a fact is loaded in the second level of the game, since Brutus uses it. I'll link the ivd for the second level's 2nd chapter for you to see if you can find it there. I had taken the shotgun model by using renderdoc fbx. Same way like I took half of Brutus' model.
What's weird is in renderdoc it shows the character/model perfectly normal. But when you export it, the exported FBX model is a flat mirrored 2D mesh. Which is strange, I wonder if there was a fix made that someone has but never released.

The shotgun should be in this file.

It's really nice that the devs are finding out about the fact that it has a fanbase that although probably not that large as others, is still alive and kicking.

Looking forward to how this develops!
