Help with Front Mission Evolved models.

Let me start off apologizing for my initial post in the wrong section :

Hence my topic creation in this forum.

Quoting myself from above post :

[quote]I hope some one can help me out here.

I am a avid paper modeler (creating buildable paper models) from games. I mostly do models of mechs / walkers etc. Recently I saw a paper model released by Square Enix as part of a competition. Unfortunately they only released the one paper model. I have since tried and tried to get hold of the game models by making use of 3D Ripper but had little luck. Then I saw this topic.

I have downloaded the model pack but I have no clue what to do with it. I really only need the model in OBJ format so that I can import it and start working on making paper models.

If any one can convert it for me, or show me how to I would be so great full.

Thanks for any help.

Oh yes. Some of the models I have made (who knows, maybe get some more people to make and build paper models) can be seen here :

You need to use mdldecompiler which will turn the models into an SMD. Converting that to an OBJ is relatively simple after that.

Thank you for the reply.

I have downloaded the Source SDK along with Cannon Fodder's MDL compiler.

After browsing to the folder where the MDL files are located in, and I click on the extract button from within the mdldecompiler I get the message "error loading model"

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Oky, slowly getting there.

Using NEM's object viewer I am able to see and export the model as OBJ.

I found vpk tools to convert / extract the texture.

From there I import into Milkshape and apply the textures to the body parts ...........

Seem to work oky , a bit of work but I am getting there.

If any one knows how to set the textures within Nem's Object viewer it will help alot since I only get the grey untextured view of the model.
