I downloaded S4e2 for the pc, used AMB Extract to unpack the .AMB archives, and used ItsEasyActually and Random Talking Bush's model script to import the .ZNO files into 3DS Max. And I used a small program called DDS Convert on the textures.
So properly ripping bump maps shouldn't be a problem anymore... Nothing is really stopping me from ripping Dark Gaia and Perfect Dark Gaia now, I think!
Excellent! Can't wait to see them!
... That awkward moment when you realize you don't have to manually texture everything. All of these rips have been manually textured through painstaking hours, and I just realized I can just point the textures to a certain directory. xD (This method goes untested, mind you. I could be wrong. If so? I sad.)
Well, a lot of trouble and time is going to be saved. Ripping shall resume next week, if I'm not too busy playing GTA V xD
Awesome.
Update: I've formatted the first post a little better, and I added Perfect Dark Gaia from Sonic Unleashed for the 360! (It also includes the shield Snakes.)
I've also put Sonic from SSB4 on this page, despite that not being a Sonic game.. It's already on the SSB4 ripping project topic, but I figured it convenient to put here so it doesn't get lost in pages on the other topic.
So what's next? Normal Dark Gaia? That'd be awesome.

I really didn't have anything to do next in mind, so I'll start on that later tonight. Cx
Update: Aw snap. Normal Dark Gaia has been added.
Are you able to rip enemies from SatBK and/or Unleashed (Wii and/or 360)?
If you ripped all those models, then I suggest that you go on a model rampage and upload every single sonic-related model from sonic games that you can! That would be epic!
I'm trying! My computer broke a while back and I just got a new one. After I get everything I want to taken care of, I may get back to this.
Yay!
And maybe I can help in some way later as I am learning how to do this as well.
Hey, guys! Sorry for the bump. I got a new computer and I'm homeschooled now, so not only do I have a powerful PC but I actually have time to rip models and render again!
So I've finally gotten around to converting those pesty party mode characters. (Haha, sorry for taking so long RTB.) Go check the first page under the SatSR playable characters to try my first party mode rip, Silver!

That is great, I can't wait for more model rips! By the way have you seen the sonic games ripping project that was started about a month or 2 ago? I hope that you can join!
While waiting for new rips, here's that picture of Merlina used at the beginning of the Dark Hollow battle because that's definitely no model I see.
