As for her I can say that's what is in the aria.kimesh.
You can simply check that by using point clouds. From 0x93EDC up to end of file (more or less) there's the uv map.

talking about Sadira's missing head? Couldn't find it so far in the kimesh - it might be in a separate one.

weird format, the vertices look like x 02 y 02 z 02, FVF size is 55 for civil_woman.mdl_bin;
in the upper left corner it looks like the shape of the head:

doesn't look like a matter of more samples, it's more a matter of lost interest, I guess

anyway, here's my tries, the lod0(?) model on the right side is spoiled - you're on your own to fix it using the H2O file as a base: H2O, lod0:

0x73518 3246
Vb1
64 99
0x2A508 2218
020000
0x0 255

UVB size is 24 for Aria: ariaTex.jpg (2nd submesh) UVB size is 11th entry in the lines of Mariusz' vertex stream infolist (16 or 8 for orchid.kimesh) -- infolist of vertice streams offset 14452 (20-stride, 0-first vertex offset in vertex stream, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 16 , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0...

Cool, you're missing one array of values for correct vertex-stream offsets. yep - I was in the hope to solve it without that vertex info list but for some unknown reason those nasty developer guys mixed the (address) order like this: 0,1,2,3,4,5, 9,6,7,10,8 so I've surrendered the idea of making a ...

Hey Szkaradek123! :) [...] you will do this better than me :) better than everyone, I guess... :D Dunno if there's a problem with hex2obj nope, it's just relative face indices, so you can't "merge" two adjacent submeshes with hex2obj But I'm still having a problem with SM7 (..SM10): orchi...

You know that it's near to impossible to create a 3D model from a single picture?

Having a series of pictures you might try http://insight3d.sourceforge.net

(if it helps to understand the format) thx - the problem is to find the start of the next submesh. If you set the face indices count to 2001 you'll see what I mean. (1848 seems to be the correct value for the first submesh , without misfitting faces) Dunno if there's a problem with hex2obj , I calc...

Point cloud of kimesh is promising:

what kind of file? model file, texture file?

The goal is to convert them to more known formats like OBJ or FBX "faces":[42,0,1,2,0,0,2,1,0,1,2,42,4,2,3,0,4,1,3,3,2,4,42,... reminds me of a thread in this forum. This is like [42] a,b,c [m] a,b,c, a,b,c where [42] says: triangles ([43]: quads) and [m] should be the material number For...

I guess I'm confused as to what the maxscript actually does then, I thought it was an importer for the Trine mesh into which ever 3D program. maxscripts (as the name states) allow to import into 3dsmax - then you can export the model to obj, fbx, ... - whatever exporter plugins are installed in 3ds...
