Xenoblade X unknown model format (example files inside)

[Knoskoloz]

Hello there,

I'm currently trying to get the 3D models from Xenoblade X (mostly for Cosplay references).
I think I found the models but don't know how to convert the files in something usable.

For example I got:
dl019100.camdo - most likely the vertex/polygon coordinates
dl019100.camtp - guess this is the info which material/texture belongs to which part of the 3D Model
dl019100.casmt - Textures maybe
dl019100.efp - no idea
dl019100_rig.hkt - bone rigging I guess

Here are some example files.

Maybe someone knows this format or has an idea how to convert it?
Many thanks in advance

camdo -model
camtp - not sure... has some reference to bone names
casmt - textures (MTXT format)
efp - effect particle maybe
hkt - bones

[TGE]

I don't really have the time to go reverse it entirely but if anyone is interested in doing so, I'll share my notes

Oh thanks a lot for the info about mtx and of course for the script
I will try if I can get any results with the script and 3DSMax2012 after work.

You guys are a big help for sure

[Demonslayerx8]

i already tested the WIP script for the camdo model, and it imports properly, just has no material names, or separated meshes.

[Knoskoloz]

Oh neat! I tested the script with some enemy and Skell/Mecha files and works really well.
For human characters it looks like the bones get in the way.

Archive with a Skell, Enemy(well enemy skell) and Normal Character

Guess I have to take a deep look into Max scripting.

I'm really thankfull for the help so far

I'could upload the complete model archives on sunday if someone is intrested.

€dit:
ok guess it will take me some years until I will achieve something with scripting and encoding seems like a really not so easy topic.
But the weapon models look fine already and should be a big help.
Couldn't find much info about the mtxt texture format so I guess it's a propertyformat as well.

[Knoskoloz]

Heres a link to all the model files I could find.
https://mega.nz/#!1hEylICT!8g0yaun4ll9Kl...xLa_-9SEek

TGEs script can extract most of the models fine. Well no bones or Textures and female armor is bugged (maybe due to the changable chest value?)

There's an encryption key for this.

Oh my bad I messed up x_X
Just fixed the link.

Hey guys, how's it going?

I've been trying to model and texture a Skell/Mech for studying purposes, but I believe I need some help. 

The idea is to make a highpoly version of the URBAN skell (my favorite), but it's been really hard to do a good model without the proper concepts/blueprints... I took a series of screenshots from the game model I'm trying to do ( https://www.tumblr.com/blog/mkleine ) but it has too many "layers" of armor and weapons, and the WiiU's resolution also doesn't help.

So I'd like to ask you guys, if possible, in case any of you end up converting some skell models to fbx or obj, could you please share? 

I use Blender for modeling/animating and have no idea how to convert the encrypted files, otherwise I'd try to find the models myself





PS. Just to make it clear, I won't use any parts of the original/ripped model or textures in my own model, the ripped model will be used only to provide proper visual reference. 

You can see some of my 3D work on the link below, if you want

Thanks a lot guys!

Wow, thank you, man!! It already helps me a lot!!

I can reproduce the textures and normals from the visual reference I have, so no problem


Thanks a lot! Let me know if you need anything! 

[Knoskoloz]

Just wanted to say a huge thanks for all the help  
The 3D models were a great help especially for the weapon.
Just in case there is someone intrested in cosplay this is how it turned out.

Even more

Hello there,

I'm currently trying to get the 3D models from Xenoblade X (mostly for Cosplay references).
I think I found the models but don't know how to convert the files in something usable.

For example I got:
dl019100.camdo - most likely the vertex/polygon coordinates
dl019100.camtp - guess this is the info which material/texture belongs to which part of the 3D Model
dl019100.casmt - Textures maybe
dl019100.efp - no idea
dl019100_rig.hkt - bone rigging I guess

Here are some example files.

Maybe someone knows this format or has an idea how to convert it?
Many thanks in advance

I have to wonder about the UVmaps. Anyway, who or what are you trying to rip?
Edit: Never mind. I see you got what you were going for. Not bad.

Do you have an idea about the texture format and/or uvmapping? Retexturing the weapon with screenshots worked suprisingly well. Still getting the original textures would be kinda nice for future projects. So far I couldn't make sense of the mtx textures.
