.VMD model files. I can see the bone names, material names and the word "model" inside, so I'm fairly sure it's a model. I've also been researching how to convert a model but I'm hopeless at coding.
Zipped c001.vmd attached.
Thanks for any help.

It seems like this model is made by a lot of small pieces/meshes. So you need to analyze one mesh to reverse the format and try to find vertices, UV's and faces. I did it with the first mesh, it begins at offset 0x4030. You can find a header with info and pointers, I guess all meshes have that same format. Here is my research, don't know if everything is correct:

I did a test using model researcher with that info, vertices and UV's look like something but I can't get faces. Imagine if everything is ok but you still need to write a script to extract all those small pieces/meshes at once and like I said, there are A LOT...
