Re: Tomb Raider (2013) (PC) (PS3) (XBOX) (*.tiger)

almost done, parses all 9,800+ models with no errors. a couple days to check to make sure and i'll release a preview (still haven't worked on auto-texturing yet). your code really helped out c00l :).

Re: General question: Why are animations rarely extracted?

ha ha ha ha. really hmmm? i guess i might give it a go one day on neptunia then and see what kind of junk pops out. so that's what they call it (flattening the hierarchy) when they remove the joint tips?

Re: Sleeping Dogs Texture Packages (*.perm.bin and *.temp.bi

oh i see, i was starting the entry from the filename lol
lemme see, texture type would be part of your h05. i would make h05 only 32 bytes, rather than 48.

Re: General question: Why are animations rarely extracted?

here are the problems i have faced. #1 games use joints. modelers use bones (albiet maya). most games do not include the extra joints at the end of the chain that do not transform vertices. partial solution is to take ibm and create a mini-end bone. however this is assuming you have perfect computat...

Re: Tomb Raider (2013) (PC) (PS3) (XBOX) (*.tiger)

not bad sammie, not bad :)
remember, there is an alternative UV type (not all models use scaled signed shorts)
also, don't forget blend weights and blend indices. i described you how to get them in a previous post.
