Now that I'm done with ripping models from Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, I like to know how to rip models from GameCube games like Super Mario Sunshine and Wario World.
If anyone knows how to do these things, let me know. Thank you.
Dolphin, which can actually dump the discs. There's also GCM Dump, which I used when I had originally got myself all the models, quite a while ago.
You need something that can view BMD files, like BMD View 2, something to decompress yaz0 and rarc files, the actual VG Resource wiki is a good place to look, both GameCube and Wii, since they are very similar. Mind you, this is for Super Mario Sunshine, I've never looked into Wario World myself.

Like, most of what I used for Super Mario Sunshine is here. Good stuff.

I downloaded a BMD View 2 Model Viewer for GameCube, now where do I get the files?
From a game. You need a copy of the game, which you can dump the ISO using whatever method you want. GCMDump or the Dolphin emulator is what you use to extract the files from the ISO. OR *.GCM as some GameCube ISOs are.

Okay then. Now I dumped the files into the GCMDump, but I don't see the bmd model files in there.
Besides, when I opened Dolphin it wouldn't let me in. Is it supposed to be an emulator? I only wanted to get a Swoopin' Stu / Gooble model from the game.
I need some help with ripping models from certain Nintendo GameCube games. I already downloaded a Dolphin Emulator, but I feel like I’m missing something else.
If anyone knows what I’m missing, please tell me. Thank you.
Well it all depends on what game you're ripping.
These questions have all been asked before. With the steady rate of topics being created every day in this subforum, I would recommend you learn how to make use of the search feature.
In regards to your problem, I believe you need to use SZS Tools to first extract the archives, then you will have access to BMD and DDS files. But again, use the search feature and find out.
GameZelda made a model viewer/exporter for this game, found
here. However, the UVs of exported models may need fixing.
The game I'm focusing on to rip is Super Mario Sunshine. Later is F-ZERO GX.
And has this thing worked before me?
You didn't need to make three separate topics.. Some people would consider this spam, but...I'll just go easy here and merge the three for you.
Also: Have you tried NinjaRipper?
What's NinjaRipper? The only 3D Ripper I was going to get was 3D Ripper DX.
On the subject of the Super Mario Sunshine models, how am I supposed to get the texture animations? I'm got the Swoopin' Stu model, but I don't see how to get the texture animations tonight.
