K, moved that one to the General N64 Emulation Discussion board, due to obvious reasons. Now, afaik, the latest Nemu has models extraction ability, and if I'm not mistaken, so does icepir8's latest OGL plugin.

OMG, if this works it will be really helpfull to our dev team, thanx. but one question. is icepire8's plugin compatible with pj64? if not which emu is it made for, and does anyone kinow how to do this with either the plugin or nemu? i need to extract the models to open in maya

blah... there is a thread in the Nemu forum that tells you how...

but I'll say anyways..

In Nemu (dno about Icepir8's plugin) you go to the video options (while you are in the game and the model you want to rip is on the screen) and then check "Export VRML" the emulator will slow to a crawl then go back to it, uncheck it... and it will be c:\output.wrl (vrml format)... you'll need to import the file and it will have everything on the screen... so you will need to delete some of the scenery (assuming you just want to rip a character model)

then after that, you have to weld with 0.0001... and select all the polygons and flip them... to make it look right (at least, you have to do this with 3dsmax 5)

if you have any other questions about it, try the nemu forum and and look in the thread about it..

EDIT: what are you going to do with the models?

Just so you know, they're not computer game quality... they're really low poly and wouldn't be on par with what modelers can make for computer games...

Oh my goodness! That's the most stupidest question I've ever heard!
All the plugins released here seperatly are zilmar-spec compitable! I hope you know what that means.
