Shadowth117's stuff

[Shadowth117]

The .DAE is mostly there since with some stuff you have to export, import, and reexport something in .obj format before the .mtl comes out right. But its probably unreadable since it uses the newest version of the Autodesk Collada format. Autodesk Collada and the usual variant are similar, but at some point they diverged into almost two different formats. I've started going with the Autodesk variant since there aren't any other up to date third party plugins that I know of for the older third party variant. But yeah, sorry for disappointing you there if you thought there was skeletal data.

The .obj file for falcon should be fine and if its not is likely only messed up because of how many materials it has. That's the only reason I could guess anyway. Check it yourself and you'll find its in the same format as the stage's .mtl and any other one I've exported. If that's not it then I really don't know what might be wrong with the .mtl.

As for what I'd be ripping next, I was considering doing some trophies since a lot of their designs are very different than the versions that Nintendo came up with later for the same characters and items. Baby Bowser for example is VERY different in the Melee model than his Sunshine counterpart. In particular, I like the design of the Arwing and Wolfen a bit better in Melee compared to Star Fox Assault and later games. Unfortunately until I figure out a way to get the scale right since 3D Ripper apparently can't determine the correct FOV, I won't be doing to much with the trophies.

So I'll probably continue ripping characters and the occasional stage for the moment.

And yes, the texture quality does get ruined with that type of method unless you pick something obscene like 2048x2048 at which case it would be hard to deny that the model would be using more resources than it needs to be rendered. And there's also the issue with specular maps like I said before.
