Title: Tool for ripping maps of 3D games
Post by: Grizzly on November 19, 2006, 10:42:24 am
Hi,

I got this link to a DirectX 9 ripper, called 3D Ripper DX: http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/3DRipperDX.htm



From the screenshots it looks like you might be able to view 3D scenes from any angle and this could help creating maps of such games.

Additionally there's a link to a Plugin called OGLE which shall capture geometry from OpenGL applications when using GLIntercept.



I do not have much time at the moment but I thought of already telling you of this link. I will also update in here when I tried the program.

Unfortunately you will need Autodesk's 3ds Max to be able to view the files - but maybe the Trial version is enough: http://www.autodesk.com/3dsmax

Interesting, but too bad it only works with 3D Studio Max. Someone ought to make us some Zelda: OoT maps.

Revned, weren't you trying to make "Ocarina Of Time" maps by using a cheat/hack that enabled you to go high above the map? What happened to that?

That wasn't me, it was someone else.

Yes, it was him.



I think the most viable way to make N64 maps would to use Nemu. IIRC it is able to rip textured models from games.

This is cool for those who know the 3d Max software.  Personally I could never get into the mesh 3d editing.  Now, I can do brush-based (like Quake BSP) stuff, but I never really got a hang of doing the mesh stuff.
