hello guys! thanks for the quick replies!
with ur help i was finally able to extract the files form the iso image to big (around 700 mb) zip files with car models (.carbin files)
....but im stuck again. when i extract these zip files win rar gives me error for "unknown method" and extracts only the builnumber.txt for each car and thats it, no models to texture files only the text file.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Read on Page 1, Post 4. (QuickBMS and the zip.bms script)

Thanks everybody!
this forum is awesome! everyone is so helpful and answers come so fast!

So as i read the previous pages and if i correctly understood it:

There will be no Forza Studio for FM4 Cars, that are correctly mapped in Forza Studio?
Only for FM4 Tracks?

Just kidding.

I've already fixed it on my end The header magic changed from BIX0 to BIX1 and they started using a few different linear D3DFMTs to store their textures. Forza studio will be capable of extracting track textures

I presume Ernegien is talking about cars texture to, make sense both are in the same situation.... i hope so anyway... keep the good work Ernegien!

I don't know if I'm missing a step but I downloaded forzastudiofm4 I go to open file , go into forza 4 dvd 1 file and click on .iso image labeled complex-forza4b and i get an error unhandled exception and the following is what error log gives me: any ideas?

If you new to this, here my simple step to extract model from fm3/4 :
1. Search
2. Read
3. Learn
4. Practice
5. Ask

Hello everyone I just tested forza FM4 studio I wanted to check out a car for GTR2 and this is what gives his

http://imageshack.us/f/252/sanstitretkn.png

it's weird but the textures do not seem to be in their place

I wanted to know if you had the same problem ?

thanks you in advance

white00gt, read the file more properly.
You are trying to import an unknown file extention.
Maybe you are trying to import a car that's still not supported.

mus001, read the topic, you'll find your answer.

I suggest a moderator should close this topic untill Ernegien has something to say.
He can always pm a moderator to unlock his topic.
It's kind of useless since any new member is asking the same questions as 2 years ago.
They are not bothered to read the damn thread.

I'm just interested in 2 cars can anyone who has extracted them help me - just want the gmc typhoon and gmc syclone

it is pointless to lock this thread, just ban or warning the ones with annoying questions lazy to read the topic. There are

already all necessary informations and guides in the topic, no problem to extract or import anything


put info and link for each version in first post would help as well

I was able to extract cars but only in carbin files how do I convert them to .obj or 3ds? I have read and tried forza studio and ripper and still nothing - I may be new here but nor new to extracting forza cars but for some reason i can only get it in carbin format

EDIT it Worked don't know what I did differently but tried it again and success, only problem is converting calipers and rotors but I can take those from other games thanks guys for all your hard work!!!!

Time to post some rare happening here.
I've been editting the Reventon engine of the Autovista version.
Like all FM4 models, the UV got screwed up, so I re-mapped them.

Here some screenshots:

waiting for perfection.

Did you guys all map it from scratch? I cant decide, whether i should or not..
