are there just not any tools for it yet? the only ones i can find either dont work or are only model viewers, ive seen a lot of warnings about using the nintendo dev tools for homebrew, so can i just not mod models without it being risky

Nintendo dev tools aren't risky at all

I thought there were some importers for blender and such.

Equally even if there are no nice graphical editors then most models on the 3ds are simple enough you can still do things by editing the component aspects of the models, and if there are viewers then edit, save, refresh viewer.

Re Nintendo dev tools. The main problem is to join it you usually have to sign an agreement which tends to preclude you from working on homebrew or using them for hacking purposes, and said agreement goes into the future as well.
They are unlikely to come kick down your door, or DMCA your project, but it is a real thing to consider in this, and some may not want you on their projects/emulator coding efforts.

I believe they can be converted to .obj for importing into a modeling program but I'm not sure about converting them back. I haven't seen any mods that changed models beyond simple model swaps.

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
