extracting models from games.
on: November 28, 2003, 12:52:04 pm
I'm working on a rather huge model, which requires lots of low-poly people running around in military uniforms. And I thought, that rather than delving into the complexities of low-poly character modelling (texturing! arggh!), I'll just rip some from games.

Which turned out to be rather more complicated than I expected.

So, give me some names of games and tools, from which I could easily extract models into a commmon format.

You mean games you own or could aquire 'legally' I suppose. AvP2 seems fairly mod freindly, and has absolutely tons of stuff in the data archives. That might be a little posh for your project, mind.

Low poly people? How about... any FPS with any kind of communty site still running since Quake? If you want military uniforms, go Soldier of Fortune, or Sci Fi Military uniforms go JK 1 or summat - there'll be a crapload of models out there.

I'd guess Doom3 and HL2 have some fairly thievable 3d-people.

I am?

Well, actually, I am. I don't have descent 3.

SoF is actually an excellent idea. Someone point at the modding tools.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

note: When I mean low-poly, I naturally mean, something under the 10 000 poly mark.

Now, someone point me at the most convienient Q3 editing tools.

I-War ships? The ones from the original, real Independence War don't have extraction tools, and they just look pooey anyways, seeing as they're practically from the Stone Age. Ones from the heretical lie that was I-War 2 were well beyond FS's range until recently. Well, most of the cool ones were. And there's really no point in bothering- why port the worse ships to the worse engine, instead of vice versa?
