Looking for Capcom models from Dreamcast

One is the image that is captured in color, one is the polygons, and the third is the polygons, but the camera is lowered and you can see the image is flat. I have no idea if this is normal for Ninja Ripper or how to get the full 3D model, but at least it is something.

Edit: Quick update, on the Ninja Ripper Discord, there are several users having the same issue of flat models. One response says, "usually emulators render 3d scene like this. you can't do much and nR just rip them as they render. so the only thing you can do is try find a tool to extract models"

So there haven't been any solutions. The only suggestions seem to either get scans from each side of the character and stich them back together, which seems difficult, or try to extract the game models directly. So it looks like I will be looking into the files again and see if I can open them. Ninja Ripper seem incapable of getting the entire model from Tech Romancer.

Edit: I haven't found any files that could be small polygons yet, I was wrong about the .bin files, they are like 20k each, not 1k.
I think I'm just not using Ninja Ripper right. I just realized they have a YouTube channel that has a lot of suggestions that I haven't tried yet. I am going to work with it a but more when I have the time and let you know what happens. I mean Ninja Ripper does work with other emulators, so I will follow the processes for other consoles.

Thank you my friend, I sincerely appreciate all of this Smile I honestly don't have the wherewithal to be able to do any of this at all, so everything you're able to accomplish here is beyond helpful. Full disclosure: while I've got little to no experience with tech like this, I'm also disabled (physical impairments that affect my intellectual abilities), so I'm probably not going to be able to contribute much to this conversation Shy At the same time, I'm just glad to hear that you're making headway on this! I've been searching different threads and otherwise about 3D modeling on Twitter and Reddit, and again, No One is doing anything with Dreamcast except talking about having played these games. I did go through a game list though, and it would seem that I overlooked a certain collection that got ported to PSP, and ripped here:

I'm not sure how different the models are, but anything that's close to that style Capcom was able to achieve in Project Justice is worthwhile in my book Big Grin You probably already knew about it, but I thought I'd say something if otherwise, just cause this is about the only contribution I can make Shy Please keep me updated on your progress though. I'll let my modeler know about what you've said so far, hopefully we can start moving in your direction so that this conversation isn't so one sided Tongue
