Has anyone been able to extract models from Paragon?

I gotta admit, there's unlikely a high volume of people looking to rip models from Paragon.

Have you tried googling "Rippers" or something to the effect?

Does Epic share any of the Unreal Editor files? You can export from there to FBX. 

You could also look at 3D Ripper DX though it hasn't been updated in a long time and might not work any more.

You might be able to rip the meshes and textures with Renderdoc.

You can learn so so much from reconstructing a ripped 3d model
so.. I'll help out

Ninja Ripper is useful for D3D 9 games
3D Ripper X is also nice.
If all else fails,  steal some of the hex code of the game or.. ask one of those "ripper" communities to do it for you.


But remember
don't try to pass it off as your own, use the model purely for education purposes

haha, yeah I was only joking :P I knew there wouldn't be much call for this. Would be good though. After doing some research EPIC said they have tried to keep people from ripping the meshes for now as they are planning to release a workshop through steam if the game does well.

 I tried 3D Ripper X with no luck, it just doesn't see the game files.

And yes, of corse I would never publicise it without EPIC's permission. Id actually want to sent my skins to them as a suggestion (I know a few artists there but they didnt know when I asked them about ripping models)

if anyone was interested in this I managed to talk to someone at EPIC about it and they said there MIGHT be a way of doing it in the future as they need to push an update that will decompress the files to your directory. But as or yet it should be impossible. Also The Paragon workshop is a rumor; If they do it, it wont be for a long time... shame

Cool to hear from them! I'd love to take a look at their assets myself. It's a shame there's no public Paragon editor build while UT is so open.

RossHildick3D

yes that would be awesome. It'd be big in our community I'm sure, like the Dota workshop community

So I see this has been inactive for a while but in case you're still interested, I found this the other day: http://www.gildor.org/en/projects/umodel
