Dark Cloud 2 Model Dump - HardLight604 - 05-22-2016

A bit of a side project I've been working on in my spare time. These are direct rips preserving both rigging and animations. Please let me know if anything appears off about any of these models.

Main Characters:

Max Outfit 1

Weapons:

NPCs:

Emperor Griffon (Berserker)

Emperor Griffon (Swords)

Emperor Griffon (Wings)

Notes:
- Collada format. Rigged and animated.
- Tested with Microsoft 3D Viewer, Assimp Viewer, and Blender.
- Hair and cloth will appear rigid in the animations as they are animated dynamically through the game's physics engine.
- Due to a bug in the converter that was fixed partway through conversion, some NPC model bones may have slightly incorrect scaling.

Also, apparently I can't post more than 100 images per post, but making a second post will automatically merge it with the first one making it impossible to edit the merged post without removing the images and then re-adding them. Anyone know of a way around this?

This is a test.

Well, I'm not sure what to do with the posting issue, other than waiting for a reply like this one. I must say this is a very impressive collection. Dark Cloud 2 was one of my favorite games of the past. I was wondering if there was a way of getting the original Dark Cloud models, specifically the final boss. Either way though, I'm really glad to see something of this amazing game finally ripped properly.

Thanks. I'll just grab this spot here just in case. I'll probably shrink down the first post once I've uploaded the models onto the site proper.

Anyways, Dark Cloud 2 was also one of my favorite games, so It's good to hear that people are interested in these. I can't say I have any plans to do much more than this. Whether or not I go back and do Dark Cloud 1 would depend on whether it uses the same model and texture formats as 2 does.

Great job! Loving these!

Oh, is this everything? I was wondering if Gaspard's mother and father actually had models in the game, or if all cut-scenes were just pre-rendered. Also, Gaspard's demon form?

It's most likely that I missed a few. Every NPC file is numbered, and there were a few gaps in the list of files that I ended up with. Most of the npc files are stored in a single directory, but a few are missing from there. To get the ones for Gaspard, Griffon and a few others, I had to dig through the cutscene and boss data. I didn't check all of the model files though because there's a lot of duplicate models with just different animation tracks.

I'll see about finding them whenever I have time to take a second pass on this.

I can ask him how he got the models?
and how can I do it?
