Ripping a 3d model/environment from a webpage?
polycounter lvl 2
Beginner here,
I found an interactive experience on the Universal Orlando website where the user can explore a 3D environment of Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and the village of Hogsmeade from the Harry Potter universe. The user can point and click to move to various pre-set locations and move the camera 360° to view the environment. This is more clumsy and awkward to manoeuvre than I'd like. I want to be able to explore the environment more thoroughly to analyse and explore how the models are constructed. Here's a link:

What I want to do is "rip" the mesh from the website and view the 3D models in Autodesk 3D Studio Max so that I can view the environment with more ease and from different angles. I think it uses Flash Player to display the environment but I know very little about that sort of thing. Anyone have any idea whether this would be possible?
Obviously I would only use the models for reference/educational/exploration purposes and have no intention to reproduce anything using someone else's work.

Secondly, it doesn't look like this is real-time 3D at all, but rather a series of pre-rendered 2D panoramas with some particle effects on top.
To rip the models all you need is:
a screwdriver
a pair of clippers
the bottle cap of a beer
and 2 large rubber bands.
So, you hook the screw driver to the front of the cpu, and then put the rubber bands on your mouse.
The bottle cap you put it under the laser mouse.
the pair of clipers is just to throw you off. lolol, obviously you don't need them to rip models.
If you have done this correctly, the model will appear on your desktop.
If not, it's probably because you did something wrong.
Let us know how it went! Always glad to help!
