However the results were... a little less than perfect, as you may notice from Chun's miscolored legs and ghostly arms...
There's also something mighty weird going on in the background of the China stage...

More fiddling...
The wonders of the FBX file format got me the textures that I was missing before...

It's always in the last place you look...
Waiting to submit my next rejected offer sheet.
Searching for my next unrequited love.
Sitting in front of my monitor, staring at a book I'm no longer sure is any good.
I seem to have lost my joy for life,
if anyone sees it, would you mind returning it to me?

Oh the things I do at work
So this morning I discovered a neat little application called 3DRipperDX. It allows you to take "3D screenshots" of executable files but, even better than that, lets you extract the 3D models into 3DS Max! Of course, 3DS Max is readily available to me in the office... so it was just a matter of getting some sort of application to rip geometry from...
...gee, let me think about that.
I ended up "borrowing" the models from the Street Fighter IV benchmark tool. It was super easy and as you can see, the models it extracted are picture perfect from the game... or so I thought...
When I first extracted the files, they actually looked like this...
Which looked totally fine... until I rotated the scene...
Whoa! Ryu and Sakura are looking pretty anorexic there! It seems the SF4 models are a little lacking in the z-axis, which is perfectly sensible since you rarely ever see them from anything but the side. So I had to chunk them up a little.
After figuring out how to expand the FOV a little in the conversion, I started getting some really workable (and frankly fantastic looking) extractions.
You can also get some interesting angles on familiar events.
Here's what it looks like in Maya.
And of course, I have to end on some obligatory girl-on-girl action.

Oh noes Viper! Here comez Ultra!

I swear to god if I have to see another jab shoryu FADC to Ultra again...

This is the way I would choose to go out.
