How to Export Character Models

[ademastrie]

I have dug as far into the Unity EQ post as I could it looks like the project and all of the links are dead. Does anybody know how to go about extracting the character models to a format usable by modern 3d modeling and animation software?

Or if anybody has a copy of the work they did on that project available it would be greatly appretiated. Just want to do a little personal project for fun using those models.

Well, in my continued digging I found a great thread here

Im hoping somebody can direct me to where I could find the old chequip.s3d file I need for this project.

Above are assets, below is the code

unity client: https://github.com/UnityEQ/UnityEQWebGL
eqemu server: https://github.com/UnityEQ/UnityEQServer

I do have that old chequip on a hard drive, but I have to dig for that one.

Thank you very much. I was actually able to dig out my old trilogy discs and get the chequip file. This list of assets is awesome though I wasnt able to figure out animations.

This was just a project I was doing for fun but basically made a dark souls inspired combat system using EQ models. I have a few ideas to do more with them in the future

Thank you again!

Is that open source? I'd like to play with ragdolls and limb removal with blood squirting out and whatnot.

Never had an arcade style thing where I had a reason for it. This looks perfect

Tyen05,
What did you use to export the whole zone?
I tried using ninjaripper and 3d ripper but didnt have much luck.

pre-build I tracked a guy down who was working on exporting models. Those are the models in the dropbox. He never gave me the source code.

A great resource is in the eqemu discord. A guy named Zaela is pretty much the expert in exporting/importing models that hasn't disappeared yet. Although, animations are going to be a big problem.

A plus side to animations, is that the models have horrendous joints/bones. Just re-rig and make your own animations with Mixamo or Autodesk Motionbuilder
