RDR2 / How to extract Models?

TheTaylor224

Hello, I am looking for information on how to extract models from rdr2, does anyone know how this is done and in which files the story character models are stored?

Wrong section, wrong forum.

Have you tried google or are you just lazy?

I would look, but ... I'm tired of looking for all this, downloading, suffering for a long time with all this, and in the end not getting what I need.

Good luck extracting the models. A quick search seems to indicate there are tools to query character models here https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/45-openiv/

Hey there!  I'm from the RDR2 modding community so I can help here.  OpenIV will work for extracting the ydr (Drawable) model files, but you can also use CodeX by Dexyfex, the same person who made CodeWalker for GTAV.  Although CodeX is still in Beta so it does cost $1 USD a month.  You can find more info here https://www.patreon.com/dexyfex/membership .  If you're extracting these models, I'm sure you want to actually do something with these models so in order to load them into say Blender, you can download this plugin made by Gamma (AKA SageOfMirrors) which allows you to import (DECOMPRESSED or RAW) ydrs and ydds (Drawable Dictionary).  Here's the link https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/361-reddeadblend2-blender-add-on-for-rdr2-models/ .  Hope this helps!
