3ds Max has a free student edition.

There's still no way to export the SwSh animations is there? I keep periodically checking back here to see if there's any updates xD

You need Switch Toolbox for that.

You can get the Pokémon HOME ABA Files here.

Note that I don't have all of the Pokémon ABA Files yet but I will get them ASAP. Some of the are missing forms.

did anyone ever get the animations for eevee from let's go eevee?

I don't know if what I'm about to say is helpful or not, but here goes:

I've been determined to learn 3D the past month, with one of my goals being to get some of the Switch models that weren't already posted in the Sword/Shield or Arceus sections up and rigged all nice in Blender. Most of it was obviously easy enough, I guess. After I spent some time getting used to how Blender worked and learning what the heck a UV even was, I dumped the games and used the maxscript to get myself FBXes of the pokemon I wanted (thank you by the way). My 3D experience might only add up to being a month's worth of fiddling, but I am a programmer, so seeing that I needed to read the material information to manually set up some parameters myself wasn't much of a bother either. Open VSC's hex view, copy paste some floats, cool, everything's going great.

At least, it was until I realized that simply mixing the colors... well, didn't cut it.

Besides the alpha mask, any place the other colors connected basically looked screwed, with the color from the base layer appearing around basically everything. It was less noticeable in some areas than others (especially with the off-white that this model tends to use), but it's present everywhere, and makes the fur look hideous on this one, so I needed to fix it. At first I thought maybe there was something RTB did in the script which I was missing, but nah, it showed up in 3max too. I couldn't find anything by reading back through this thread a few dozen pages, and I guessed I wasn't gonna get a response by asking RTB about it directly, so I had to figure it out myself. Fun, considering I had no idea what was going on.

Blender's node editor still confuses me and makes me sad, so I needed to use regular old not-GLSL to actually do it. Sorry.

Basically, I mixed the colors twice. Once to sort of create a 'tint' underneath instead of just using a simple base color, and the second time mixing the colors normally. Is that the right way to do it? I dunno, but it looks good enough for me to be happy with it and move on to other things for now. Maybe someone who actually knows what technique was used will figure it out completely meantime.

Do anyone have the trainer room in pokemon arceus.

ignore the screwiness around the nose and eyes I probably messed up when I did a merge by distance but it's okay 'cuz my main focus was getting my node group to work so that I could reuse it with any pokemon later, maybe write a script to read the material information into it so I don't have to

Fairly sure you're heavily over-complicating this, when the fix is as simple as this: 


because when i connect the main texture to it, it shows the gaps in colors:


Now, i won't claim i know code (because i don't) but what you're doing seems like it's terribly complicated with a simple fix of: 'Just disconnect the main body texture.'

EDIT: Though, could i see the nodes inside the groupnode you have there? i wanna see what you're doing in there.

Are you making a Blender Script?

You need to use Ohana3DS to export them as SMD and a SMD plug-in for Blender to import them.

Hey, should the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon spinoffs be added on the page?

I got to ripping them now, but I know how to rip them. But for the people checking out the page, they likely don't.

Yes they should and they should add Pokémon HOME as well.

That’s awesome but would you like for me to update the icons for those?
