Saint Row The Third 3d models [*.gcmesh_pc]

[demolos]

Hello!
Somebody can try to read this .gcmesh_pc files?
I only found the xyz vertex...



I made a topic here with some research on the files formats:

Some samples files:

Thanks

had a quick look at it, the GC file holds the faces, and the vertices, but theres some odd data in there that doesn't line up... so there may be additional data aswell

the CC file is the control file, but I haven't figured out how to parse the damn thing. the face section needs to be seperated, theres LODs and elements combined in the same buffer.

I wrote up a quick import script for 3dsmax to have a look at the faces, so I could break down the proper face counts

here's a progress update;

Nice

[EternaL]

Also animations seem very well made.

[junk angel]

out of curiosity, in what of the packfiles are the cc and gcmeshes? I've only found cpegs and gpegs for now.

[EternaL]

Gibbed tool (unpack VPP) on characters.vpp_pc
Gibbed tool (unpack STR2) on "char".str2_pc

[junk angel]

Hmm that's odd. That precisely doesn't give me the meshes.

[EternaL]

Strange....

An example:

Dragging brianne.str2_pc on gibbed(str2) give me a directory named BRIANNE with 13 files :

1 of those is "brianne.ccmesh_pc"

[junk angel]

I know this is a bit of a necro, but have been wondering - any updates on this? Has anyone managed to get the UVW parsing into the script?

[howfie]

Yes. I have all character models extracted. The level geom which is in the glmesh files, I have yet to finish. Uvs are all half floats. Models are ps2 quality however.

[rexil]

They don't look that low poly.

More than a month since the last reply, dunno if they stopped working on it or what.

Maybe it can help you with something. Hope you can finish it SR3 models are pretty nice Imo.

[howfie]

Hahaha remember how disappointed with shaundi we were? I finally bought the game and all dlc except the genki cars and there was no hires shaundi to be found. The character models were no problem. Got all 2000 of them or so. But there are 90000+ static models and the control file is more complex for them than they are for the characters and spaceships lol. If anyone wants just a character release...

[junk angel]

Yeah I noticed the vehicles seem to use a lot of vertex colouring. But a character script would be really really nice. Honestly I'd prefer it over a static mesh one

So your release would be apreciated.

[Maxunit]

"If anyone wants just a character release..."

Yep, I would love to have the model files from Shaundi I still had no luck in ripping them from SRTT :/

[howfie]

ok i'll release soon. but yeah, in that pic viola doesn't look so bad... but... prepare to be disappointed LOL!
