New feature: Extract models to file - Snapm4st3r - 03-08-2011
I know lots of people would also like this feature: the possibility to extract rendered models to a file.
in Nemu64 this was possible, and it shouldnt be that hard, i think, as you just need to catch the DirectX or OpenGL shaders/frames/textures.
Programs which are capable of doing this [in regular games, not emulators] are: 3DRipperDX [proven to work in DirectX games], GameAssassin [never proven to work, but rumored to {if needed i can provide this program, fully functional}], 3DVIA Printscreen [proven to work in DirectX games].
What are your thoughts about this?
I'd love to see this feature in a future release of Dolphin!

I think DirectX ripper (or what it's called) works. I don't see the copyright problem, you can already extract files from the iso, basically anything you do with the files are OK expect distribution, which I guess could be illegal. (I would think any form of creating a free movie or stuff like that would be fair use of the models, same as screenshots from the game).

As long as you would use them for personal use only, it would be fine, copyright wise.

Final Fantasy VII PC-Version

Functionality is there (in the video debugger), just need someone to go ahead and create a GUI and geometry data exporter...

I'd love to see this myself.
Would it be able to save the models just as they're shown, or would they be in a bind pose?
Also, would they contain their bone and weighting data?
I'd love to have a simple way of getting models out of SSB: Melee. This would be the perfect thing.

When/If it is implemented, it will just dump the entire drawn scene as a single model.
RE: New feature: Extract models to file - neobrain - 03-10-2011
Actually, it would be implemented per pipeline flush, i.e. model dumping might even be feasible, altho you'd still need a bit afterprocessing to remove other stuff included in the mesh etc.

How can we officially request this feature, and what format would be exported?
