Hello, it's me again. I know it's been almost half a year since I last visited this site, but I've come to ask for your help. We should no longer be writing programs to view extracted model files like the metroid cmdl or the smash bros model viewer. Instead, this program, 3dvia, works with any opengl or directx application. This program is compatible with dolphin, particularly 2390 or 2550, and takes almost perfect rips with excellent texture placement. There's just one problem, it writes the files to .3dxml, a format that can't be converted reguarly. There is a macro script written by Koichi Senada that works 100%, but only if you convert the .3dxml from version 4.0, to 2.0, which is only possible using a program called Virtools 4.0, a seemingly extinct program. Now, to explain the format. The file that is saved using 3dvia printscreen is actually a .zip archive containing the actual .3dxml and manifest.xml files. Both can be opened in notepad. The program was created by Dassault, a french company, that seems to not offer any method for converting these files to something like .obj or .3ds. That's why I'm here, to go down on my knees and beg of you all, can you please write a program that converts these files to something more universal, even sketchup is acceptable. It could be a program, or even a plugin for blender, I would do it myself, but I am learning C++ from one of those teach yourself C++ in 24 hours books, so I wouldn't be of much help. I'll try to upload a .3dxml file up here, so you all can see it, but remember to go to Dassault's homepage, type 3dvia printscreen in google, and download the .3dxml viewer. Please help, for this would be helpful to hundreds of people. I will also direct some people from Facepunch here so they can see this. Good luck, and happy ripping, coding, viewing, and swearing.
