Hello, I've managed to extract files from the ACX's REGFILE.CDI thanks to a tool named "Nemesis" made by Ret-HZ
And so, i've analyzed most of them, and found out PDW files which are textures, PMD and ANM files which i suspect they're model + skeleton and Animation respectively.
I've tried to find a way to make the PMD and ANM files readable for Blender, without any success. I will proceed to send some sample in hopes that someone might help me.

Postdata: I don't think they are encrypted, or compressed.

For some reason I can't send multiple attachments at once.
I will send another here.

Analyze how?

Interesting format though...

What face generation did you use ? I've tried Implicit Storage for Triangle and Triangle Strip in AXE, and it did not give the correct result. This is the only thing blocking me at the moment since I already found the submeshes vertex buffers, and I didn't notice any of them having a reset for the face generation.

As in, attempting to open the files via hex, and learning about hex2obj, I just got blocked on what and how to proceed. Also because I was busy with university exams.

Could you please share your method or script to import the models, please?

i made plugin for Noesis fmt_PMD.py

It's triangle strip but you can use both in some circumstances:
It's consist of a bunch of triangle strips but fortunately not much work for AXE. You can find the vertex count of each strip and the count of strip groups using that many vertices, as UInt16 just before the vertex buffer.

Well, turns out vertex normals are OK so guess will have to reverse the face winding then. Noesis script here:
