Pokémon Model Ripping Project

a lot of models

So the Cyndaquil line has fire in its T-poses, but not in their idle animations? Odd. Anyway, I'll probably be trying some of these out later today if I can get Blender to read the files (it refuses to like .obj files from this site for whatever reason, and a lot of uploads are in that format).

It's not just you, believe it or not a number of files I've tried don't work with 3DS Max either. However, if you have Noesis, you can try re-converting that OBJ file to an OBJ file (rebuilding it, in other words), and it should work then.

I got most of them to work with 3D Studio (at least the ones from Sonic Colors). And what is Noesis? Google isn't helping me.
Edit: When you said "multiply the inverted shadow map on the texture," did you mean invert the colors on the shadow map and then overlay it using Fireworks' Multiply blend mode? (iirc Photoshop uses that as well)
Edit 2: Got the DAE files to load properly in Blender, but they're missing textures. How would I load the textures?
