Star Fox Zero Model Ripping

[Thomas Draco]

Long time no see, everyone. If any of you remember me I tried ripping models from Starfox Assault with little success due to my lack of experience with the process of model ripping and the fact that Starfox Assault uses a unique model file type in its game files (I think the thread is still up even).

However Star Fox Zero is different, since it's actually based on the Bayonetta engine, which means that ripping models from it is easier, relatively. I'm not the first person to rip models from Zero, I found out how to from this guy: https://twitter.com/smb123w64gb.

However I'm interested in other things besides the Arwings, Wolfen, etc, so I've decided to take up ripping what hasn't been ripped yet and I would like to keep some progress maintained and archived in this thread.

Note: I am not the best model ripper, so some of these may have mistakes with textures or I may have made mistakes in exporting them to .obj or whatever. Please let me know if you find a mistake or need help. If you are experienced with 3D modelling and model ripping please, PLEASE, feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong. That being said I will write up a tutorial at some point showing how to go from the game files to a single model.

Models will be uploaded as zip files with the following contents: an extracted .obj and .mtl file, a 3DS Max .max file, .dds files containing textures, sample render screenshots, the original .dat file from the game archives, and a file with the contents of the the decompressed .dat file.

Note: Larger, higher poly, models like the Androsa and Salvadora will probably be done last out of this list because assigning textures to them is a nightmare. I'd be happy to give the model files and textures to someone who knows what they're doing, though.

You may use the models that have been uploaded for any purpose without credit. I didn't make them after all, I just ripped them.

Examples of what I have done so far:

Wow, X-Fighters in this game look like they actually live up to their name. (That's what the SNES Mission file printout guide called them.)

[Leon]

That's cool, keep up the good work. 

[That Ain't Falco]

We needed someone to post these, here, honestly.

[DZComposer]

Can you rip the music files?

Maybe the raw files but unless you have a way to convert them from the format they're in (I believe it's .wem) then I doubt they'll be useful to you.

Important edit: Actually turns out .wem files are easy to convert to .ogg files, which are listenable. I'll convert what I can and send those .oggs to you.

[DZComposer]

Vorbis files are fine, provided they aren't compressed to hell. Can you send me the WEM's, too, incase the vorbis files are too low bitrate?

Alright, may as well link them here for anybody else who wants them too:

A friend and I would love to put some of these to good use, however the Mega link is Password protected. Could we get that, by chance?

[Patch93]

We need this game's voice clips.

Woops, I've never used mega for uploading before so I didn't know that the links didn't contain keys. I edited the OP and I will edit my post about the music files too.

Maybe I'll find those and throw them up too.

[DZComposer]

I hope to have the music cataloged, tagged, and uploaded this weekend. I guess I should take this as an excuse to get off my ass on redoing the site music system as well.

As fitting for a big character, Andross's clips are the largest in size.

[That Ain't Falco]

Makes sense, given they'd be pretty highly edited, though I'm not the most familiar with voice recording and editing.

[Patch93]

Awesome! Though, you should probably convert these to ogg or something, it would help with the file size.

[Thomas Draco]

Update: All 3 Invader fighters and the Harlock-class frigate are now done and uploaded.

A very streamlined ship compared to the one in 64.

I'll leave that to whoever is interested, I wanted to rip models after all, not audio, lol.

[SF Redd]

@DZComposer

I downloaded those voice clips. I'd be happy to go through them and rename all the files according to the dialogue, like the 64 voice clips on this site, if you'd like.

[Patch93]

I forgot to mention that there are duplicates of clips that are panned to the left or right speakers and have radio-like quality. (Probably meant for the gamepad I'm assuming.)

[DZComposer]

So, according the the guide, the Harlock is now called the Colby.

EDIT: Wow, there are more files for the SFZ voices than the SFAd ones. This will take time to catalog.

Noted, please let me know if any other name changes (like the little non-warship enemies) exist.

[Boltmccloud93]

Woo this is great

I hope there would be a download for the Arwing model, it would be perfect for a fan film i'm planning to make with sfm.

hope someone would port the models for the program

[MikeMurdock]

looking at bill and the fighters that follow him is it me or I picture a 3d cockpit system ala ace combat for those craft because i don't see anything that could be a cockpit window.

 

anyway nice rips so far. I think i'll see these soon in gmod or SFM

me too mike

it would be great to see and animated these models in sfm

 

[Robert Monroe]

Hella sweet rips! Think we could get the SUPERDREADNOUGHT too?

 

I'm sad Zero didn't have Zeram Carriers though qq

[DZComposer]

I think the Cannon BetrayerSalvadora class battleships more than made-up for the lack of Zeram cruisers. Also, the HarlockColby class frigates got a hell of an upgrade. They were cutting Cornerian ships in half left and right out at Sector Alpha.
