Rayman Pirate-Community

I did answer your question: it's complicated. They're not stored in individual files, nor is it any kind of standard model format, nor does the game even instance them how you think it would. Some generic models like Rayman are stored in Fix.sna, but most of them are re-defined every time they appear inside the level files themselves, and extracting them is also a relatively complicated process. When they're extracted we convert them to a user-friendly format like OBJ anyway.

We haven't taken a look at Rayman 3 yet (that I can recall), but a lot of the same rules will likely apply since they're running off of the same engine.

Is it known what Rayman 3´s "fix"-files and .lvl files contain?

Wow, and I used to think it was all really efficient, looking at the file sizes. I'm sure there are good reasons for all the methods they used though.

Globally available textures, models, text and such. Apart from the text, we don't really know any specifics as far as I know.

Then off you go, implement all of them yourself since it's so easy
