Great, the current script can be found at http://diablo3dev.com/w/Models, I basically have the format architectually covered, at least I didn't find any models yet that have unexplored sections - the data in them is a completely different matter tho

[MrRawr]

I noticed a few mistakes in some of your earlier stuff, it didn't matter for what you wanted to do (but it did to me) I've not fixed it on your script yet as I was focusing on a different area. I'll ofc upload the bits I changed when I get onto this tomorrow (most likely tomorrow)!

Yeah battling the flu myself :\

Sorry for the stupid question, but I don't get how you create the wavefront object file from the 010 template text output.

Great job by the way and thanks for sharing this!

Edit - Sorry figured that stuff was commented out. Still doesn't seems to work in DE but I'll play around with it.

Hello Guys!

I've just received the link to this forum, and I'm very glad to see that some hardcore guys are working on the extraction of Diablo3 models from the client.

What's the status now, how can I help?

Greetings,

Currently BoyC and MrRawr made a 010 editor template which use for extract obj model from .app files.
You can see source code here.
http://diablo3dev.com/w/Models

This template can extract most of .app without problem, accept for the character model, because it contains multiple mesh. So, we should have an multiple mesh exporter to control exporting.

Ye it's nice. So the item models + textures can be extracted already. Am I right?

The hard task will be to write an app as a wow model viewer, which is able to put the correct size of the armors / weapons onto the chosen characters (barb, wizard, etc...).

Do we know already how the meshes are linked together? I mean with which method?

Yes, right.

The exporter just can translate from .app file to .obj model. It succeeded with object and weapon but with the character, just 1 file .app contains all armor of a character.
It is an example, you can see.


The exporter now is just a 010 editor template, not a tool yet. We use 010 to compile .app to obj file. You can start develop it to a model viewer

You can ask BoyC for the algorism. I am just a user and tester. But if you need any files to test I can give you.

Cool. Is the texture contained in the .obj file as well, or is it in a separate .mat file, or in any other?

I'm not a professional, but my aim is to write a simple model viewer first in Away3D framework, so it can run under Adobe Flash.

What it should know:

- load the selected .obj file (character / item / etc)
- you can rotate the item
- you can zoom in / out

This would be the first basic version.

The texture files are the files .TEX, which can be exported by using the tool call D3TexConv. You can download it here

Use whatever you can. I am appreciate that!

[Monguron]

So it's sure, that we will have all the models in .obj + .tex files.

I'm just asking, cause Away 3D supports almost all major model formats (3ds, dae, obj, etc...), but Alternativa3D supports only .dae (collada) files.
