Update - me and another person have managed to get models exporting, we are currently running tests and doing multiple extractions, beta right now. I’ll show images of what we got atm for testing purposes

The format is pretty simple. No filenames. Not sure if it works with that Cethleann tool or not.   +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage [XBox 360] LINKDATA.A LINKDATA.B LINKDATA.C | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // BIG ENDIAN ORDER // HEADER 4 - Header (0,7,125,249) 4 - Number of Files 4 - Padding Multiple (2048) 8 - null // DETAILS DIRECTORY // for each file 4 - File Offset [*2048] 4 - File Length 8 - null X - null Padding to a multiple of 2048 bytes // FILE DATA // for each file X - File Data X - null Padding to a multiple of 2048 bytes  

I'm looking for a way to import .w3d from Command & Conquer: Renegade into Blender. Here is the source code uploaded to GitHub: https://github.com/electronicarts/CnC_Renegade Original SDK: https://www.moddb.com/games/cc-renegade/downloads/cc-renegade-official-modding-tools The source code features a 3ds Max plugin source code which allows authors to export custom character or map models .w3d for mod development. and it needs to be ported into the totally free program Blender. The original SDK only features a GMax plugin called gmax2w3d.dle. commandandconquerrenegade_w3d.rar

I am currently interested in ripping from both games but have seemed to hit a roadblock due to the lack of information on the matter. Aside from there having been VERY few rippers to have ripped from these two games, all I know about ripping from them so far are two things. 1.) All-Stars' Psarc archives can only be extracted either via PSASBR Tool on the pre-retail builds or dumped using PsasPS3Hooks with RPCS3. Otherwise, they cannot be extractable as the game uses some special encryption algorithm that makes it different from every other game with the archive and/or built on the Bluepoint Engine. 2.) One of the rippers for PSAS mentioned that they got their models from a friend's VRAM dump. Since so there's so little to go off of as mentioned, I am assuming VRAM dumps include dumped models, textures, and whatever have you. If anyone is interested as well in getting these models and maybe perhaps know how to pull that off, I'd be more than willing to do the dumping myself with my own PS3. Other than that, I have uploaded some samples elsewhere if anyone would wish to have a look at what both games have to offer.

I figured everything out
