Ripping new Swat 3 models

I still have a dream of adding normal looking Swat officers skins (no sci-fi motorcycle helmets) using new high resolution textures for the Last Resort mod.

The BBE Squad guys made some amazing officer models towards the end of the life of Swat 3.

I wonder if it would be possible to use the 3D Ripper app to capture the geometry so we can use the mesh as the base for a new high resolution officer (maximize the poly count and texture quality)? Of course proper credit will be given.

Furrycat has the GSM Gskin Viewer app but that can only apply a new texture. It can't modify the UV map.

Of course once we get a mesh we are happy with I don't think there were many people in the community that understood how the hit detection worked in Swat 3. A few of the earlier BBE skins didn't seem to have hit maps at all. It would be something that would need to be re-learnt.

One problem with this plan. The GSM Skin viewer renders OpenGL only and 3DRipper DX only does DirectX. Ugh.

We could always run the skin in Swat 3 on a basic special map for capturing but the character won't be in the T pose I imagine.

UPDATE:

Looks like an old discontinued app called "3DVIA Printscreen" works with GSM Skin viewer. It appears that only the mesh is captured but that is fine. The mesh is captured in 3dxml format which I assume needs to be converted so Maya can use it?

Image of the captured mesh (2346 polgons). Just need to figure out the easiest way to convert to the proper format:


Update: I located a script to import it into a fairly modern version of 3DStudio Max so that it can be exported for use in Maya 6.0
