I'm having trouble ripping shenmue models

I'm using 3D Ripper DX and nullDC. I can get nullDC to run with 3DRDX but only on the chankcast video plugin, and even then the .obj file comes out at 0 bytes. It also produces a .3dr file (only 1kb) and a .mtl file (4kb). If anyone could provide help I would be very grateful.
I have also tried using a MT5 extractor, but it just crashes.
nullDC with any Direct3D plugin crashes with 3DRDX too.
If you have the model and texture files and would be willing to provide them that'd be fantastic, although in most forums that's against the rules. I couldn't find anything about it in the rules here, but I don't want to get banned.

If I remember correctly it's best used on Windows XP. It has trouble with any OS beyond that.

As for the 3DR file you wanna be importing that into 3DS Max 7 and isolating models before exporting them as singular objects. Plus a lot of the time you have to unfuck them first. It's a massive pain in the arse and a lot easier to just ask about for the models you want.

God dammit. I don't have 3DS Max. I can't afford that (and I'm not pirating it). Do you know where I could find the models?

Pirating is the only way of getting your hands on it. The compatible versions are quite old. What've you got against it?

Viruses. When I used to pirate stuff I often got viruses. I'll just try to get in contact with some modders and see if they can provide the models, unless you can.

You ain't lookin in the right places then. I do have some models but it'd take me a while before I find em and I'm in a non-fibre optic area so it'd probably take a week just to upload em.

Off the top of my head South Carmain, Master Kyodai, Reece Kun, and one or two of the guys with Shen or Mue in their name (seriously, there's far too many...) should have what you're lookin for.

No probs. If you come up empty give us a shout n I'll see what I can do. It'll just take a while coz I'm a bit of a lazy cunt.

Esppiral would be the best person to ask, as far as I know.

Okay. I've messaged all of the people you mentioned as well as esppiral. I hope I don't annoy them.

What format are your models in? If I can't get a hold of any after like a week.

Messages on here sit in Outbox until the recipient has been notified of the message, then they're considered "sent". Think of it like the one tick goin to two on WhatsApp or the blue circle around the tick filling in on FB messenger.

The format will probably be a mix of fbx n obj.

Oh right. Thank you for that info. I had never messaged anyone on here before.

As long as it can be imported into blender (all I have sadly) it's good.
