3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python - Lazov - 07-12-2017
3D Model Researcher is a program for studying binary files of 3D models. Model Researcher allows to display and visualize the data read from the file with the specified parameters, and also save them in the 3D Obj format. The program is a great help with the search for vertex data, faces, texture coordinates and normal vectors in an unknown 3D format. The main feature of the program is the support of the scripts in the programming language Python, which allows to extract models from almost any format.

Opportunities
- Analyze the 3D model files, search of vertices, faces, texture coordinates, normal vectors
- Data output is presented textually
- Data visualization in 3D format
- Visualization of texture coordinates
- Highlight data structure in the built-in Hex-Viewer
- Applying textures to the model
- Support of Python scripts
- System of submeshes
- Normals vectors
- Loading and saving templates with form values
- Data export in Obj format

Cool, is it posibil to downloaden? Or is this a showreel.

On the page with the program there is a link.

Update
- Added support for Triangle Strip without FF.
- Now the program does not crash when drawing a texture map at a nan.
The Pro version of the program was released
- Support of Python scripts
- System of submeshes
- Normals vectors

The program is updated! You can download the new version on the website.
Update v2.4
- The program does not freeze when resizing on other tabs
- Added a Hex-Viewer.
The big drawback of the program was the lack of a built-in hex-viewer. Now he has appeared! =) Moreover, it has the highlighting of the model data: vertices (red color), faces (green), texture coordinates (yellow). When changing the parameters of forms, you can immediately see what data will be read. Probably, it will be very useful for beginners.

Does it work with dff model format?
RE: 3D Model Researcher - mesh viewer - DecaTilde - 03-25-2018
Does it also work on .ho files?
RE: 3D Model Researcher - mesh viewer - Lazov - 03-27-2018
Guys, the program works with all formats. But this is not an unpacker. This is a program for data analysis of 3D models. Large formats have a simple structure. The site has a tutorial.

This looks amazing and I really really want to try it out. In essence, it's what Tile Molester/GGD is to 2D graphics, but for 3D.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with WINE so I need to come up with a virtualisation solution or something I guess.

Thank you for helping distribute the program. I saw your topic in this forum. =)
It is possible that soon there will be support for Linux.
RE: 3D Model Researcher - extract 3D models with Python - Lazov - 04-07-2018
The program has been updated.
Update v2.4.2
- Finalized Hex-viewer.
- In the "3D View" tab, a button is added to return the camera to its initial position (useful if you centered on the object with incorrect coordinates).
- There was a version for Windows XP
Pro version:
- Added a Hex-Viewer.
- Added data inspector to Hex-viewer
- Fixed minor bugs
