First off sorry for the capitals in the title but this is quite the accomplishment as far as I'm concerned.
Today I bring you wonderful people something that has yet to be done by anyone successfully as far as I know. I bring you a model straight outta Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days!
I'm so excited about this I've wanted this little guy for ages. I'd like to thank Barubary for reminding me of NSBMD a nifty little openGL viewer for DS models. Ripping from openGL was a pain but I figured out a way to do it. Although the model wasn't even close to ready then either. The UV maps were really blown up about 10 times too big so it just repeated what it should have been about a billion times all over the faces. It didn't look good. And the mesh was disfigured like this:
Note: This is the mesh after fixing the UV.
And this is it now after all my fixing:
Looks much better eh? I had to drag vertexes from all over the model to their correct place. It took me about two hours but it was kinda fun seeing him resurrected. I took the charge of reUVing him to only 1 texture instead as well.
So here you go a perfectly reconstructed XIII Moogle to add to your collections.
I can't promise I'll rip much else from 358/2 because it took a lot of work. But I might decide to get Ventus, Xion, and maybe a few worlds (levels you play on). Oh and the Large Armor heartless since it's only in this one.
Enjoy and tell me what you think. =)
Oh and here's a image for when you add the game to the categories.
