Ninja Ripper

[Tosyk]

Utility to extract / ripping 3d models (mesh), textures, shaders directly from the running game.
(It's new version of dx ripper)

Author: blackninja

Features:
Extracting all available vertex information of the models (position, all the texture coordinates, normals, weights, BLENDWEIGHT, BLENDINDICES, BINORMAL, TANGENT), indices, textures, shaders. Theoretically all extracted information could be import in the 3D editor!
Support for D3D11, D3D9, D3D8 (processed, however not all methods/techniques, but should work for 95% of all games).


I've made a Discord channel for quick chatting about ninja ripper. Russian forum is still official help place for feature/problems discussions.

i see no options for anything besides verts normals and uv's.
where are the weighting / bone import options.

there is no options to do that, because our (blackninja and my) knowledges in max scripting is poor

i can help with the project if you tell me what you guys need.

well, as i understand ripper can save all vertices information, including information about weights, but we don't know how to generate skeleton, because loading of weights means the binding of weights with something.
I have a thoaghts about generating default skeleton or bunch of bones and binding loaded weight info with a random bone, but it's silly.
Of course will be cool to load all ripped information into 3ds max and play with it.

If you can help it will be great.

but bones are just an abstract concept for animation - you can't get any bone information from directx as it only knows about the vertex data - transformed way before the rendering stage

yes, you right.
And in case of 3d tool bone it's nothing, just a "word". Vertices of the model could be binded with "anything" (a dot/helper), and it's good to get coordinates of this "something" to bind with.
i'm not sure we can do this, but what we can do is messing with 3ds max, just need to think what we can do

p.s.: btw, plugin for Noesis will be very usefull too
p.p.s: also will be cool to have an option to load all pairs of uv into 3ds max one by one in uv channels in one time

I second that! I am really getting upset with 3dsmax scripts, as this isnt exactly faster way of ripping than was dxrip (ripping, previewing rip files in noesis and exporting - simple as that).

I hope Noesis plugin will be updated and Ninja Ripper to include DDraw Wrapper aswell

EDIT: OMG

This tool finally works with TCLA and TCNY, and Dolphin, great job!! It does really need Noesis plugin right now

Hi!

I tried this tool with the Sleeping Dogs demo. F9 works and puts out a textures file, but F10 doesn't cause anything to happen. No models are saved. Any suggestions?

[RacingFreak]

Did you assigned the capture key to F10? Try assigning it to F9 or F12 instead.

Yes, I tried this. I tried assigning both to F9 and I got only textures. Then I tried making textures F10 and models F9, and it was the same result where the textures were grabbed but the models were not.

Is it possible this is running in dx10 and not dx11?

[TehDave]

I have the same issue with Dark Souls. If running with the default method (intruder) neither key is functional. (no textures, no rips)

If running with DX9 method, it works, but only textures are able to be captured, trying to rip meshes results in a slight pause, but no rip is produced.

It guess it seems that some games don't work with it.

@tosyk

man, did you manually put all the mesh together? because when i import all rip file, it comes with different parts. is that correct?

yes, it's almost all manualy, this is the way how ripper works

[TehDave]

Is there a general reason why a game would fail to produce a rip or otherwise fail to hook? I'm trying to rip from Dark Souls, but as I said earlier in the thread using the default Intruder DLL doesn't work (it doesn't hook or something apparently, neither key works) and using the D3D9 wrapper only allows textures, trying to capture a frame results in a slight 1 second pause, but produces no rip, only empty folders.

I suspect the problem was GFWL, but disabling its memory protection has no result, Intruder.dll fails to hook and rips still cannot be captured.
