The VG Resource

This is actually my first post here; but I've been around for a while. I just want to say that everyone here is amazing at the things that you have ripped from games, as well as the awesomeness of this site. Sounds stupid, I know, but I can't think of any words right now. Anyway...

I don't have any experience with models in my past except for Google Sketchup. I need a tutorial explaining how to rip the models from GameCube games. I found one already, but the file format they said to look for wasn't there. I extracted the ISO from Dolphin, and I'm not really finding anything. All I have are the textures for the models. Any help for a beginner in model ripping is greatly appreciated.

The sad truth is that Rugrats Royal Ransom probably uses some weird proprietary format.

Would there be a way to rip the PS2 models then? I have the PS2 and GC version on the official discs.

You could use 3DRipperDX, DXRipper, or Ninja Ripper on Dolphin instead. However, you may have to manually alter the models in order to put them in a T-pose or normal standing position.
