Exporting models from Bioshock Infinite

[RipperOne]

My system is a big trash can. Thats why your tool crashed over and over. I have run it on my friends PC and guess what? It worked! Now im start thinking about big clean for my system.

You know the Normal maps cannot be exported?

with the error called: Cannot Extract Texture2D "SG_Shell_Normal" has an unimplemented format

Yes because the format is either BC5, Y8U8 or A8R8G8B8 and I have not written the code to export them yet. In my internal version I can preview all formats now, just need to write the export code.

So this program didn't like me trying to extract a model, but Texture2D works fine. UModel doesn't work for me yet, might need an update or gildor might have to tell me what I'm doing wrong. I do like having this GUI display though. Maybe you two could combine a bit more? I found Atlas_Nostrum_Icons.dds with this, which I'd assume you saw too. Very interesting file which I'm not sure how I'd locate with UModel as-is.

Also, anything about saving the extraction location so I don't have to enter it each time? And maybe highlighting a portion of files in the left side list, then hitting the extract-all whenever it is finished? I'm trying to get all the billboards currently, but you know that's going a bit slowly.

Edit: "BillBoard_Fat_N" from "S_TWN_P" says unimplemented format. You mentioned some aren't available for extraction yet - this is one of them?

Edit2: And do you think the files hold a better resolution version of "Bills_Dif" from "S_EMP_Bank2Mrkt_Geo" ?

Ah, thanks. I only tried one mesh - didn't try anymore yet. If I do take models, I'd be doing rendering for the wiki, which I don't feel like trying right now. So I've just been looking into the flat posters and such. Sad there isn't a higher resolution Columbian paper bill texture, at least in that area. Hopefully there's one elsewhere.

It did randomly crash for me, but luckily I know where I was when it happened. I assume it's something you'd be fixing anyway, not like I know why to explain it anyway.

Edit: You know about the crash from just leaving it running a while, right? After that crash mentioned above, I reopened the program and opened the folder, but had to do some other things for a while so I left the program in the background. When I tried to click something in it after a while, it crashed. Just mentioning.

Edit2: I think there is a problem with getting full resolution textures. I found specific Vigor icons, but "VigorIcon_Charge" from "S_DCOM_P" is half the size of the other vigor icons, which makes no sense.

Well I'm still getting problems with UModel at the moment. I think it's just adjustments that need to be made for nuisances in how the game works. You can see I posted in gildor's topic that some models come in at low resolution, which is a bit problematic. In fact, if you could share any accommodations you had to make in your method with gildor, maybe that can be fixed?

[RipperOne]

that is quick, thank you!

Can it load the Elizabeth models?

Currently can't test

Yes, everything but her eyes. I'm working on that
