help: Model exporting for nefarious uses

[flatzoneseeker]

So I followed the vertexing tutorial on Flatzone 2 and got as far as extracting _GAME_WATCH_BODY.mdl0, now I want to take the whole thing and turn it into something openable on blender, or 3dsmax, preferably blender.
AIS just doesn't work when I try and use the .pac file on it, the dos window opens for a fraction of a second, and where I've seen in tutorials a file created, there is nothing.

See, I'm working on a silly video project and it sure would be swell if I could get my hands on a 3D model of a game & watch, and as far as I can tell, the Brawl version of the stage is far more accessible than files from Melee, and as (bad) luck would have it, Brawl wasn't nice enough to have a trophy of a game & watch like Melee did.

If I could get a hand (or a model, but beggars can't be choosers), I would be incredibly grateful and give you credit in my project. Also gratitude, and really, what better repayment is there than gratitude?  :af2:

Download the program brress viewer and open up Flatzones .pac and exort it as an .obj.

[flatzoneseeker]

I... didn't even know brres viewer could do that...
I don't have a version that opens .pac files, but I used it on the brres and the obj opened in blender. I'm wondering if I could use it on the pac if it would load the textures, but I might just have to use one of those blender texture test tutorials on youtube

Also, thank you for your help  :happy:

Edit: Also, here's a quick render, showing the beautiful thing in question :'D

Oh, and try to avoid double posting. Shoulda mentioned that.

Also, if vertexing doesn't work out, you can always make a 3D "Flat Zone" yourself using the Bilder Block Method.

Ok, carry on. Good luck! ^_^'

[flatzoneseeker]

Thanks! I added it into the previous comment, sorry about that.

Edit: as well, what exactly is the bilder block method? Or do you just mean to make it from scratch with Blender?
This all is so foreign to me!

[Segtendo]

By "block method," he means building it with stage builder blocks and other models.

It was an idea that was popularized by Mewtwo2000.

[Gamma Ridley]

Whoops, shoulda clarified.

Try taking a look at this.

Thanks for the tips!
I don't think I need to go to such extreme measures as that, I think I just need to export the necessary texture filesand apply them to each mesh individually.

I don't suppose anyone knows how to extract the data from Melee, in case I need the original flat zone or trophy?
