Rayman Pirate-Community

Hey guys!

Good news:

I finally succeeded in ripping models from a rayman game: Rayman M! That's pretty good news, because lots of rayman 2 characters appear in that game. Here is a picture of henchman 800:

Good news: you can help rip them too! It's pretty easy.
You need:

- 3d ripper x newest version (supports direct x
- 3ds max for importing and exporting
- rayman m

you go to rayman m, choose a character, choose a level, press f12 (or you can first play with the fun f11 and f10 buttons) then go to 3ds max, import a file from the my documents\3dreaper\frames folder, and there you go. you can select a character or the world and then click file -> save selected as -> character.max

too bad rayman 2 uses direct x 7 or older, so i couldn't rip from that. but the next version of 3d ripper may contain older directx support, so we could rip also from rayman 2 (including levels :O)

haven't tried rayman 3 yet...

This will really help RayFan9876's fangame.

I'll be using this. Thanks a lot.

And you said Rayman 2 uses DirectX 7 or older...? Do you mean for ripping or for playing? Because I can still play it on DirectX 11.

EDIT:

Wait dog crappit? Did they skip over compatibility for 3Ds Max 2008 and 2009? Really? Maybe v9 is compatible with 08, 09....

EDIT:

Another problem! I put in the Rayman Arena disk to install it and nothing happens, I click on the setup, nothing happens I click on ALL the setups, nothing happens.

EDIT:

ARRG.

EDIT:

Can some plx+thx send me Rayman standing in a normal pose in an FBX or MAX file?

EDIT:

Lol, look at me conversing with myself. I'll just download a trial of Max 9 and import into that since I'm assuming newer versions of max can open older versions. I've also tested Rayman 3 in 3D Ripper DX and it was able to do wireframe, disable textures, and successfully capture frames, so I'm just downloading Max 9 now at 2 MBs a second! Startred 5 mins ago and already at 20%. And good thing I already have a DDS texture plugin for Photoshop.

Nice find.

This can really help in making a remake of a rayman game or a game based on an old story. By the way if you all post your results of model ripping here (in .max or so) we could make a kind of database. I ripped rayman from rayman m now.

That's actually a pretty cool thing you done there. Wonder if it works for Maya...

Nice work !

Maybe i'll help a bit with Rayman M models, i'll install it tommorow, and look what i can do.

I see that you can use rayman 3 as well. So go ahead if you like

Yup I installed Max 9 and I was able to import Rayman perfectly. No messed up geometry. When you imported the models from Rayman M did they just work with the import? Because I don't know how to import the textures if there's an option. All the textures are just grey. Here's 2 pictures. So far I've ripped some scenes from Halo 2 and Rayman 3 :







And here I started sort of retexuring him with solid colours :




EDIT:

Oh wait, there`s no point in re-texturing Rayman I found out that 3Ds Max on Vista or Windows 7 doesn't support the DDS plugin for the textures for some reason, so I'm downloading an Autodesk patch.

Here's 3D render with added lights and global illumination with some raytracing and shadows:

That's some awesome work you've done theree I can 3d model myself, but can't work with 3ds max 9... is your game gonna be 3d? I can help (learning c++ with ogre now0

Great work, RayFan ! That last picture is amazing ! Will you rip everything from Rayman 3 ?

-edit-

Can someone with 3DS Max please check these models i ripped, i cannot open them ( i don't have 3DS Max, and i'm afraid my data limit won't let me download it ) :

These models should be characters from the character select screen in Rayman M.

Oh, and by the way, Windows Vista users might need to download this to get 3D Ripper DX to run :

Thanks! And yes my game is 3D. In the artwork section (or in my sig) you can take a look at "Rayman 1.5 Revenge of the Dark"

And I'll rip those models from Rayman M. I'll probably use a lot of them too.

EDIT:

Wow, those 3Dr files a freaking tiny in space consumption.

EDIT:

Okay I've imported them, and at first it's just a big huge sphere. I zoom into that sphere assuming it's the background and I see a whole bunch of rings. I thought "Maybe it didn't capture right". Then I zoomed even closer and I could see a 3D menus board with Teensies standing on a platform beside it. I was pretty cool. But unfortunately I need the DDS texture folder as well or else everything's grey.



Also what's kind of funny is that Because on Visa and Se7en, there's no DDS texture support for 3Ds Max 9, so I need to import them with Max 9, save them as a .MAX file and open them in Max 8 to view them with textures.

Wow! You captured the character pick menu! I wonder if you could use that for something.

Could anyone rip the model of the blue-green planet from the RM menu background? I think the Glade of Dreams may be situated on it and would like a closer look...

I doubt that it's very detailed.

I'd like to have a closer look at the moon(s) and sun(s)... and that weird other planet, too...

I don't think it's even 3D, as it wasn't captured with the rest. I can't rip the Rayman Arena stuffs myself directly as for some reason when I put in the disks to install the installer doesn't start up. They don't even start up if I directly open the install package! Arrrg.

It's just a flat texture, then? I still want it.

Great job on the rips! Will you rip more characters and stuff?

I remember seeing something like this on the old RZ, but his model was in colour.
