So the file size is 0 bytes? Make sure the Plugin is set to one of the default plugins.

I have PCSX2 r4600.

It's totally awesome someone's finally gotten a good method for ripping from PS2 games--and I'm really grateful that you shared it with us!--but it doesn't seem to be an ideal method for ripping from games that don't have a model viewer-type utility...

...but anything's decidedly better than nothing!

Although I'm gonna have to finally learn how to actually *use* Blender now...especially since when I exported this rip as an .x to try messing with it in PMDEditor, it all came out as one group.

However, where I'm really having some trouble is with Texmod. For some reason his face came out blue:


Anyone else having this problem?

You are lucky it came out at all! XD Mine came out as pure black with a few dots of color in it. Perhaps we should scale the texture by it's "Y Axis"? XD

yea, to fix the textures you have to swap the red and blue channels. i'll type in a tutorial on it later

@SierraLatkje
If your using Gimp, you go to "Color>Channel Mixer...". Then in the new window, if the "Output channel" is red, change the "Red:" to 0 and the "Blue:" to 100. Then change the Output channel to blue and make "Red:" 100 and "Blue:" 0.

Thanks! I'll try that!

I have PCSX2 r4600.

Well, it is set as default, but I still edn up with a null .obj file.

what game are you working with? have you tried capturing it without textmod active?

[blakegriplingph]

I'm actually trying to rip models from Strawberry Shortcake: The Sweet Dreams Game. Karpo's 3D Object Converter can read model files from that game, but the character models appear to be mangled with only the head intact.

EDIT: NVM, the models did turn up, albeit at a different folder from what I expected. Only problem is that some faces are missing due to occlusion culling or something.

You can't get the back of the mesh because the game seems to use backface culling. the only way around this is to capture all sides of the model and try to piece them together.
