I provided him with all necessary files (addmitedly after couple of hurdles) and in the end Gildor, being amazing as he is, updated UE Viewer to support this game.

Can you give me any help on how to decrypt the files and tools needed? Any help would be appreciated.

You will require one of the available tools listed here. I recommend PSARC.

So, I followed another online instructions. I got extractor for .xxx files.

So, I got the extractor and extracted the files and what I got is .skeletalmesh files.

So I looked online, and I tried the UESkeletalmeshviewer but it isnt working.

I am lost on what to do. Sorry, so how did you get the files to .psk files?

Grab the newest version here, and if you want, grab the actorx importer for 3DS Max.
I believe Blender 2.71 has support for psk/psa import.

If anybody wants the files related to a certain character from the game, I can provide. Though finding the game itself is not that hard.
Or if you own it, and have a jailbroken ps3, feel free to dump the game yourself.

And just so you know I'm not screwing around...

I will include all .psk and necessary .tga files for textures.

You can then convert them with either Noesis, newest Blender or 3DS Max with the importer script.
You can supposedly use even Milkhape to import and export the files, but eh.

My own workflow is this:
PSK  -> Noesis -> Valve SMD -> Blender (With Source Model Tools addon) - > Autodesk FBX - > Back to Blender.

The reason why I don't use the smd files and leave it at that, is because the characters have heads and bodies (and other parts) separately.
As such, when I import the SMD into newest Blender, it screams eventually that model has too much bones. So I first import each smd part separately. Separate the meshes by materials first, and then export the part to Autodesk SMD. This is for the newest version of Blender though. You need to download the source Tools separately, they're free.

I would advise against exporting to dae from Noesis, because bones become weird when imported in blender.

Oh yeah, all characters have shadow meshes and decal meshes with them, which is why I separate them by material before exporting to fbx and importing back. Because then you can easily hide/remove them if you don't need them.

Oh my god you are a godsend. I've been trying to figure out how to access the mesh files on the .iso, and I'm failing so hard. Could you rip all of the Sol Badguy files? I would greatly appreciate it.
Can you also explain your method of extracting your models? I've been trying to figure out Ueviewer but GGXRD's file arrangement seems different from other games.

You need Aldos Ps3 Tools to extract the .psarc file, where all the meat and bones are... so to speak.

The tools contain many other useful things which might come in handy in PS3 ripping to you, so I suggest you keep them. But eh.

Here's some H-Poly models for now in .psk format. Textures are included, buuuut, I excluded the .psa animations because they are pretty big.

I'll post more later, so consider these a foretaste. I will also upload the normal models, and their various alternate materials.
