(Another) Zelda Ripping Project!

[Alvare]

I'm back again, looking to get models from OOT 3d and MM 3d, what programs should I use? I have no problem doing textures by hand, but I need the vertex colors on the models intact. Google search results are a mess.
Currently got the stuff from models resource loaded up into a UE4 oculus quest project. Whole thing is working with vertex lighting.

 You got it almost 100% correct.





You're missing out on something important regarding the vertex colors. You need a shader that multiplies the vertex color output by 2.
This way, the colors get more contrast to really make the scene pop, similar to fake lighting baked in.
As well as have the scenes extracted with a tool and Blender version that doesn't botch values f.e. uv accuracy and missing alpha.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12hjyGDA...sp=sharing //The importer for Blender which exports characters with rig. [Outdated]
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rUvO95N...sp=sharing //The special Blender version that support vertex color alpha channel.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uEUb5Jf...sp=sharing //The game's soundtrack accurately converted to midi with correct soundfont. (Sounds like the real thing)

P.S. Sometimes you need to disassemble the cmb from the zsi. You can easily do this in HxD. All you need to do is cut out the first part of the file until 'cmb'.



After that, just rename the file extension to cmb.

EDIT - Whoops, I forgot to make links accessible for everyone. Now downloads should work.
          Also, huge thanks to M-1, as he's the one who created the importer.

EDIT 12/11/21 - I suggest following Meltyplayer's model utility as well. It extracts the game's model library in it's entirety to both fbx and gltf2 and can be easily navigated through Noesis.

Use this one to import cmb files instead of the older version.
