ps1 model ripping for newbies

[scurest]

In a way - is there no way to dump the full texture sheets in full colour? Is this an inherent limitation of how PS1 textures work?

"Dump Full 256x256 Textures" is the only option that affects textures. You could also try the Avocado 3D screenshot feature instead, which I think dumps textures more like you want.

It's certainly possible to pack the images in roughly the way they are packed into the PS1's VRAM instead of writing them individually. I tried out a quick prototype that does it. Here's an example showing the difference from Tekken 3, which makes tons of little textures.



But I don't feel very interested in this now .

Independently of whether they are packed or not, the dumper also currently only tracks the bounding box of a set of polys that use one palette, so you still have "VRAM junk" where the polys don't cover all the bounding box. To fix this would require finer-grained tracking of individual polys (/bounding boxes).
