There are two main files inside twisted metal's main folder.
One is .VRAM and the other is .NGP.
With great effort of barti, .VRAM files are already researched.
they were texture files. All textures begin and end with 16 00-bytes.
Some of them have normal, specular and even shader mask maps.
Image sizes are ranging from 32 to 2024X2024 (WidthXHeight)
Here is the code for quickbms. Approved by barti for posting.
Code: Select all

I'am sure that .NGP files contain models for the game.(100%)
Here is the .EGG containing three .NGP files including according .VRAM files(for predicting how many models are inside .NGP files).
