Sonic the Hedgehog Games Model Ripping

[rveyrand]

What program/s are used to rip models from Sonic Heroes? I would like to learn how to do that and get the boss models but with all the ai slop in every search engine now I've not been able to find anything helpful.

Sonic Heroes uses the RenderWare engine (same goes for Shadow the Hedgehog).

for stage models, you will need HeroesPowerPlant to export the stage models to collada and MagicTXD to extract all textures.

for character models, you will need HeroesONE to unpack the character's file, MagicTXD to extract the textures, Blender with DragonFF import/export script to import the newly unpacked .dff files
