Metal Gear Solid Needs More Hack Representation!

[JOEYSX5]

Nice. But don't ya think you'll need to vertex hack Ganon?

[Eternal Yoshi]

Not if I can extract the model somehow.

I wonder if GameAssassin can rip PCSX2 models better than other methods...

[Friedslick6]

Sorry for the double-post. According to this post, some guy on the XNALara forums has the intent to extract some models from Metal Gear Solid 4. I don't know if he has the resources to or not yet, but he might at least know a friend who can. I'll keep a close eye on this thread as usual...

Here's hoping we get Drebin's monkey over Diddy. *shot*

OK I got good news and bad news regarding Raiden and MGS2 character models.

Good news - I found a bunch of .evx models with the normals unruined.

Bad news - I have to redo the rig.

It'll be worth it in the end since the model will look much better.

Stay cool.

Almost done, but I have an issue that needs to be resolved. When I import him into BB, certain vertices of the face have their UV mapping's fudged. Why when it shoes up fine in 3DS Max and Milkshape?

[Friedslick6]

There are probably still duplicated polygons within the surface of each object. Try hiding the main surface of each object and see if any part that would be hidden still shows up.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Umm........

I think I should point out that for all of the polys to show up in BB, I had to disable culling.
If I don't half the model is not visible..........

I know which polygons are acting up though....

[Friedslick6]

I think I've explained myself incorrectly...
I'll upload some pictures of what I mean tomorrow. i had the same problem with another MGS model.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Sooo.... anything to add? This is currently the only thing holding back Raiden from completion. Until then, I'm doing simple recolors to beat people to the punch of doing a recolor pack.

I know in 3DS max you can select by face, vertex, object, ect.

Try selecting by face and deleting.

Also, you can also try welding vertices together using vertex weld. If you do it right, you won't have to re-rig anything.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Deleting the problematic faces causes polygonal gaps/holes like I deleted that object.

[Spex130]

Well, I suppose that's my only idea. Sorry.

Maybe you could use Edit Normals?

[Friedslick6]

Sorry, I forgot.
Try to look for a "hide" button within the element select menu roll-out. You should be able to hide the correct faces and delete the problematic ones.
