We’ll be doing a lot of simple operations, and personally I use Blender for things like this because it’s free, it’s open source, and I’m familiar enough with the interface to be able to do simple tasks quickly. If you’re wanting an organic shape, like the Xenomorph skull, then a digital sculpting suite like Zbrush or Sculptris is probably better. Generally speaking, if you are wanting mechanical parts or something that moves, then a CAD suite is best suited for the job. I often get asked “what 3D modeling program should I use?” There’s no right or wrong answer to this question, so ultimately it comes down to what you are most familiar with, and what exactly you’re trying to create.
After we extract them using BAE and NifSkope converts the models into a useable format, we load those into our 3D modeling suite. Locating the right assets can often be much easier said than done as there are literally thousands upon thousands of model and texture assets in modern games. The main programs we use for this are the Bethesda Archive Extractor to extract models and textures from the game’s content archive, and NifSkope which will load the extracted content and convert it into a format we can use.
It pays to do a lot of research because there is almost always some tool that some person or group has developed to assist extracting the content.īethesda Games run on their own proprietary game engine, and the fan community has created a handful of tools you can use to extract the game content. The exact process for every game will be different, and some games are so locked down that you have to rip the data directly from the video card while it’s being rendered. The process to extract content from the game can be pretty tricky.
