[PS2] Tenchu: Fatal Shadows 3D Models

[hohenheim]

I'd like to be able to modify the 3D models in this game, but to do that I need to be able to extract and import them.

So far, what I've noticed is that their header is always (54 67 4D 44) [TgMD],

the animations always seem to have the header (4B 4D 44 73 71) [KMDsq],

while the textures are basically TM2 with the header (4B 32 54 78 80 00 00 00 80 00 01 00 80) [K2Tx€] located at the end of the model.

It seems quite simple and organized, but so far no program I've tested has even been able to read it.

What I also know about the game is that the models were made in Softimage, and the engine seems to be a custom Renderware engine; I imagine the model is designed to take advantage of the PS2's fast memory. I don't know if there's an easy way to edit them in Blender or another program, but if anyone can help in any way they can, I would appreciate it.

 

Here is one model of the game.
