Wii U Ripping Catch-All Thread

[Farlavor]

Are there any released tools for converting/viewing the model part of the BFRES?
(I wanted to check out the models NSMBU, NSLU and SM3DW.)

I don't think BFRES tools were made yet, I recall a friend of mine saying he didn't recall any released tools for it.

Indeed, there is no tools made to view/load FMDL models within the BFRES files. there is a BFRES viewer/extractor, but thats all you can do with it. only works with games that uses sarc compressions.

Speaking about Wii U's model format.. here's a list i put together of most Wii U games.

interesting discovery... at least you provided us info about formats and compressions... I dunno what to do with them for now... but honestly, I think that as long as we find out how to rip them, then this will be no big deal.

PS: What the? Namco models on SMB4 WIIU???... I never expected a third party to make SMB4.
At least, They didn't screwed like Sierra did to Spyro the dragon. Anyway Spyro model still looks cute.
