Borderlands 3

[mark2580]

I did not announce anything. Many things are planned. I just always prefer to add new features instead of working on a single game support. Borderlands 3 work took so much time so I could easily add something more useful to UE Viewer.

It's all my fault

I just can't support ALL games. One day it might even happen that I won't be able to work on UE Viewer at all, because I have less and less time for it.

Amazing work, thank you Gildor!
I'm able to view, extract, and load into 3DS Max with no issues

I'm wondering if there is any way for UE Viewer to tell me what .pak file the asset I'm looking at is located.

Hello, thanks for your work and I can get the skeletal model from umodel. However, the umodel cannot find the animation (Anim: 0/0) in the same package. I'm wondering if there are some ways to specify the animation file on my own?

Animations of this game are not supported and most likely will never be supported, their reading is specially disabled so that there are no program crashes.

Can you give some example files you are trying to extract?
It is tricky business especially for some models where the 'base' or 'diffuse' texture is created on the fly my using material setup. In general models will have a separate 'diffuse' texture which will give you all the nice color info, then a normal map which is useless for your needs (used for rendering details in engine) and finally single or multiple images for PBR (how shiny the material is etc). Most of the time this is in a single image where 'RGB' channels holds this info separately in each of these channels.
So most of the time when you see this kind of greenish, blueish image it is this PBR map you are viewing :-)
In the material setup, you can then see that this image is used with some other color information to render the real texture you will see in game.

If you are purely using this for reference for cosplay, use Photoshop or some other editing software, click on the channels Tab, you will see three separate channels (along with an Alpha channel if there is some transparency info). Try disabling channels one by one. Eventually you will get one which has the kind of detail you are looking for (the image will appear grey scale). Hopefully this should be enough to use as a reference. If needed you can then overlay with color and use the above info as a multiply layer.

If you can specifiy the exact resource you are trying to extract, I can have a look later. Haven't played around with BL3 for a while!

Hello, I'm a newbie on everything gamedev-related, I'm just trying to extract BL3 "2D" textures for cosplay/art purposes.
I've managed to extract many textures on .dds or .png format, but they all come with some sort of "layer", in green, blue, etc.

I've discovered that it may be due to Alpha Channels (another thing I'm not familiar with) or maybe to the way on which such textures are saved or built in-game. I noticed that every .dds file has at least a .mat and a .txt file with same or similar name.

Question is: is there any way I can extract the textures in any format similar to vectors or at least a .png with transparency? My main goal is to be able to make myself some patches and buttons, etc with manufacturers etc logos and decals.

In Photoshop, you need to click on the tab 'Channels' next to 'Layers' tab. This will give you the three channels. For this image disable everything except Red channel and you will get a nice black and white image of the logo. Copy this channel and paste to a new layer and you can then overlay on top of any color you want.
P.S. the layer is locked because it is the default layer. You can double click and rename the layer and it will become editable. 
Hope this helps

I'm mostly trying to get anything related to corporations. Decals, inks, logos, etc. This image is a .dds and it comes with the RGB, Red, Green and Blue Channels. The only layer is one called Background, but it comes locked.
