ROM Hack Extracting models and textures from 3DS games

[Gericom]

Gericom Any news on your fancy tool?

I have been working quite hard on it lately, and I can say, that the cgfx viewer has been improved a lot. I have also added mkds kcl support with a better collision generator and I am working on nkm support. Once nkm is finished, I will start on MK7 kmp.

Conclusion: A lot to do. But I will bring a beta release soon.

Alternatively you could use a portable python interpreter.
That's what I did for py2.7 programs.

Does mkds (or further releases) handles joints and animated mesh ?

You're asking if the models have rigging? Most likely, if you can figure out how to read the formats. It would be pretty tough to animate stuff without them.

Well, I'm talking about NDS NSBMD file format.
Bones are well documented (http://llref.emutalk.net/docs/?file=xml/bmd0.xml) but as far as I can tell, there is no animated mesh viewers.

I never looked into how the models work in DS games, but if you've been looking for information on stuff like this for a while, I doubt it even exists. 3DS-wise, barely anything has been documented. You'll have to wait a bit until people actually have a reason to view and modify models (When there's a public way to recompile roms).

EDIT: Try the response below mine, he's got a ton of experience with DS modeling.

MKDSCM can view nsbmd + animations.
Edit: Just open nsbmd, and nsbca after that.

I wasn't aware of this feature Gericom, great news!

But it doesn't work... When I open nsbmd, the NSBMD viewer opens and I loose the focus on main window until I close it.
After loading second file, nothing happens.

By the way, MKDS doesn't work with Gyakuten Kenji 2 NSBMD files.
I'll PM you the link with some of them.

Works like a charm ! Anim/bones and export too !
I didn't know you made such progress and add-ons to this tool.
It'll be very helpfull to my hobbist projects, thank you so much.

[Edit]Nitro viewer menu option crashes the app, what is this option for ?

It is for connecting to nitro viewer from the sdk (viewing the model in ensata).

Thanks.

I'm looking forward to the 3DS model viewer you're working on. ^^
(And sorry for the DS off topic in a 3DS thread).

You wouldn't have gotten any information elsewhere.

Awesome, thanks! I tried that out and now I can load Spirit Tracks models, animations, and textures!

It's kinda buggy, though, and the model viewer's controls are awful. (Plus there's no option to re-center the view...)
Still cool!

I wish I could find Spirit Zelda's name. Spirit Tracks' NPCS are named with four letters...ugh.
