Here is a model converter written bye Kentilan that can read this format and animation files.
This program has no export or import option so I was hoping someone could help out with that.
The forum the author posted at is no longer alive but the author gave me the source code and said I could distribute it or modify it any way I wanted.
I have attached the code to the post so hopefully something great can come out of this. "custom brawl characters"
Here are some files from the game Arc Rise Fantasia.
The models were originally encrypted but here is a bms script I used to fix that.
get HEADER filename
string HEADER -= 4
string HEADER += \
idstring "RTDP"
endian BIG
get OFF long
get FILES long
get ARCSIZE long
get UNK long
getdstring NULL 0xC
for i = 0 < FILES
set RES_NAME HEADER
getdstring NAME 0x20
string RES_NAME += NAME
get SIZE long
get OFFSET long
math OFFSET += OFF
filexor 0x55
log RES_NAME OFFSET SIZE
filexor ""
next i
I'm interesting in this. Spending a lot of time to find any releases of tool that can convert Brmdl models, and find this.
There is are source code for converter from wii model format to fbx (it's very native to most popular 3d apps and support bones ). But source prepared just for Linux and couldn't compiled it on my window7:(
2 chrrox:
So what can we do with this? Do you know any specialists whose can creating a converter?
I know that Kryal from the SmashBoards almost finished a model importer/exporter for BrawlBox, which is a program he created to assist in hacking various things for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, before he just spontaneously gave up. As of the latest version's source code that he uploaded, it can export MDL0/BRMDL files into a DAE format (which only seem to work with Maya as far as I know).
I'm still kinda surprised that you only need to modify a few bytes in a BRMDL file to be able to convert it to a usable format.

(And that was kind of a large bump, but oh well.)
You see,
many games (many-many) games interesting for me (and if quality of those game's models are good it's better for me ) on wii console use this format, and would be grate if such kind of tool release on windows.
because I know that people on facepunch already use ssbb to fbx converter on linux.
So, RandomTBush, you talking about "modifying a few bytes" , any luck to see ssbb to fbx converter on windows?
I've got some interest in this, because console-spanning formats make me happy. Given the source code that's been posted, writing an importer for my Windows toolset (which means export of brmdl to COLLADA/SMD/md5mesh/etc.) should be trivial. I'll add it to the todo list, after I wrap up some loose ends for Tekken 6 and some Capcom formats that I'm currently working on.
Writing an exporter may be less trivial, I won't know until I actually look into the format and see how many details are fully fleshed out in that previewer's code. I have no way to test such a thing, either, since I don't have a way to run modified GameCube/Wii images. So it'd just be a matter of exporting it, seeing if other PC tools can load it, and praying that things are actually set up right for proper games to be able to load it. I imagine custom Smash Bros. characters would be a huge thing for the world to enjoy, though, so it's worth looking into.

Yes export ONLY on Linux systems, i asking everywhere and everyone, no one haven't windows compatible converter.
By the way, i found game-list with mdl0 models:

Arkanoid Plus [WiiWare]
Bomberman Blast [WiiWare]
- (The models are packed in ARC files and need to be exported with an external program.)
Bleach: Versus Crusade

their is already a window BRRES package viewer / exporter on windows ported by Kentilan
brmdl is a part of the brres wii package and describe geometry
brres can also contain brtex (texture in wii format)
brres can also contain branm (animations)
etc...
the actual version can load the brres package , list it content, display the geometry with textures and play animations
it allow export to psa/psk and/or md5mesh format actually..

Yes, i know this page, I've being there, but nothing from this page can't export models to psa/psk and/or md5mesh, even mdlviewer_v14_source.rar. But.. maybe i wrong, and you correct me?
Satoh wrote:Weren't the Twilight Princess models packaged in brmdl format?
Isn't there likewise a program named brmView or something?
Twilight Princess's models are actually BMD/BDL, which is the other known GameCube/Wii format. I've checked, and there are no relation between the two formats.

Yes, you right, list is very useful. So, right now we need just a converter
Take, for example, the Chocobo from Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.
There's a preview from in BrawlBox...
And here's the same model after being exported, in 3DS Max, in wireframe mode to show the bones more easily. Although not shown, the model does, in fact, keep all of its rigging.
While this is for Windows, I'm pretty sure there's a way to get the programs working on Linux.

, any luck to see ssbb to fbx converter on windows?
