I have found several blocks of letters, I think these are part of the face indices, but I'm not 100%. They start at 00007522. as word indices it gives this: 80 69 100 87 1 1802 11265 225 604 So it's very unlikely that it's FIs. Divide the file up into sections with similar data, search for patterns...

mariokart64n is one of the best 3D experts, especially for scripts, I know.
So this should be a very good start (didn't check the videos , though).

I don't see where the problem should be - File/SaveAs mesh results in an obj file (controller.64_Front_Case.64_Front_Case_0.obj) which can be imported into blender for example:

Lol Shakotay, didn't mean to offend. I didn't feel so, and I know hex2obj has some weakness, but I'm up to clear things where it has not. is there a way to automate hex2obj so that, for example, if we know there are x number of submeshes we can write up a script to enter the appropriate setting and...

As for UV pos, HexToOBJ tutorial recommends either 12 or 24 when using floats, and if you use 12 you end up with negative values, If I hate something then it's uncorrect or incomplete "quotes". :D (always use the last version of hex2obj !) From the actual tutorial it reads: For simple flo...

But for getting the start addresses of normals we need 0x2B2E - 0x156 = 0x15C2. How obtained 0x2B2E instead 0x2B39? 0x2B2E that's 0x2B39 - 0xB? You not explain it in tutorial. I didn't feel the necessity to explain that because it's plain to see when looking at hw_bu_000.bm in a hex editor. It's ju...

why do I feel you don't answer my questions? To be honest I don't believe that you really tried to get a skeleton seriously. Did you ever create a maxscript for a simple skeleton? Guess, you did not. Anyways, here's the bones and positions/rotations (assumed, it's not clear from that weird o3d files...

there is no simple universal script for o3d skeletons, I fear. Did you ever create/understand a maxscript for a simple skeleton? If 'no', look here: http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7337&p=91181&hilit=+certainly#p91181 ( TaylorMouse shows how to load Adria from Diablo III wit...

@godskin: would you mind stop spamming/double posting?
I won't write a script for cabal2, never.

too bad.
There's a professional free CryImporter from Takaro but it requires '.cgf' <and> 'caf'.
(So I couldn't check whether it works with your uploaded cafs.)

that's wrong:

I would appreciate any help.....

upload a body or dragon.cgf if you have

You should tell where you got stuck with the tutorial so that I can improve it. There is no general recipe how to get the vertices, even for simple models. For the face indices (FIs) the rule is: search for a scrambled alphabet. Problem is: not every scrambled alphabet you find in 3D data represents...

thx - we'd need at least one working (xbox) xbr sample to get a better understanding of the script.

well, funny things to come: I built a reduced skeleton manually and it looked a little bit weird. I thought I might have misunderstood the sense/order of the ik_ bones and googled for it. Bang, found this: http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/export-human-models-from-3ds-max-to-mow http://www.moddb.com/gr...

there's no way around trying to assemble the model for yourself:

I don't have maya, but what I don't get: why don't you mirror the mesh in maya to get it matched to the skeleton again?
