How do you rip 3d models from web viewers? Specifically Sketchfab, since I've run into that site a couple of times now.
I've been trying EVERYTHING possible, but I just can't get mesh data from this site.
I tried NinjaRipper 1.1.4, 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 (http://cgig.ru/ninjaripper/) on FireFox 25, 42 and 45 as this guy here http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10668&start=45 shows, but I get only 1KB meshes and browser bullshit as "textures". Using Win7 SP1 x64 and I have a GT 555M video card. 3DXRipper is probably obsolete now. And I don't think it makes sense to try the old open gl intercept and open gl extractor stuff, those haven't worked in ages.
I did manage to use my VideoDownloadHelper to get the raw mesh and texture data
(example https://d35krx4ujqgbcr.cloudfront.net/urls/e4abf4055a07434086645833681c728c/dist/models/0ed7470e704742679405c12039f7338d/model_file.bin.gz and https://d35krx4ujqgbcr.cloudfront.net/urls/e4abf4055a07434086645833681c728c/textures/2a411e1e222948cd9974c766889c4481/40b8fd0d0dbf4ecd88bc073277adf63a.jpg there's a couple more files though) but now I'm sitting and wondering how I can extract any useful info out of the model_file.bin, which seems to be some proprietary format. There's HEX2OBJ http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=10894, but I'll be damned if I can tell at which address the faces, UVs and vertices are supposed to start, though I do have the feeling I at least managed to figure out how many sub-objects there are, cause the patterns repeat.
Then there's this script for Greasemonkey https://github.com/Slozhny/sketchfab-scene-exporter but it only says "download script failed, try refreshing the page". Also needless to say I'm an artist not a programmer, I have no clue how to fix this.
I'm officially out of ideas.
Oh, and I don't think this belongs in the sticky. Besides, nobody ever replies there as soon as you ask a more complicated question.

Press f12 to go into your browser's developer tools, then go to the network tab. Load the page with the model you want. Locate the appropriate requests for model files or textures, then open them in new tab to download them.
No.546902
>>546886
I'm definitely getting that far.
I have all the textures and all the raw models. No problems there.
The problem is, there's no software to decode the models and all attempts to capture the meshes are failing. Are there any tools, other than NinjaRipper, DXRipper and OGLE? If I could just grab the mesh from inside my video card somehow...
And I'm too stupid to write my own tool to convert the source models to obj. There's this tool here http://aluigi.altervista.org/quickbms.htm but I just don't understand the Sketchfab's *.bin file format. It's probably specified in the javascript shit how it's decoded, but as I said, I'm not a programmer, I only have a superficial knowledge of web page scripting. I'm not wading my way through several megabytes of code to look for something I don't even understand.

No.547249
and in the meantime I have found something interesting. there seems to be a file which tells you what the scene is made out of, possibly the exact places where the data is stored in the bin file
http://pastebin.com/XXpNNrF0
The only problem left is this "variant encoding" algorithm, which should go like this http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs276/Jeff-Dean-compression-slides.pdf but I have no clue what to make of it. I suppose I have to try and see if HEX2OBJ (linked above) works on this thing anyway.
Basically I think we have all the pieces to decode this, what's only lacking are my programming skills.
Of note is also the line which says "Generator": "OpenSceneGraph 3.2.1" because if I google that thing, it gives me this http://www.openscenegraph.org/index.php/download-section/stable-releases/166-openscengraph-3-2-1-release-downloads however, it's just source code and I don't know how to compile this into a useful program

Open it with 7zip, extract it to "webGL.data"
Then open it with AssetsBundleExtractor https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?22675-Unity-Assets-Bundle-Extractor and it says it's packed so save it to unity.packed, now you can open that and extract the individual packs from it (sharedassets0.assets, resources.assets, globalgamemanagers.assets etc) I can get some textures, but not the meshes (it says "compressed meshes not supported)
Ripping it from the browser would be much easier if comeone can find a configuration of windows, browser and ripping tool that works.

To be completely honest, I'd suck his dick if he'd give me the model, with the condition that he showered today. Except I probably don't live on the same continent as he does so it'd be pointless to ask.
I'd draw him a picture instead, but he too can draw and I feel kinda lazy.
>>547511
Dragons may not exist, but I like the way they look. I like birds and reptiles in general, dragons and raptors are just better. They combine more of the traits I find appealing.
If our understanding of genetics gets to the point of being able to completely determine a creature's looks, I'd definitely invest in creating them. Besides, I too want my own limp-wristed anthro dragon twink to hug and cuddle with at night.
I'd slay a real dragon if I could, but I'd sumerge its beautiful gutted body in a vat full of alcohol, let it soak well until decomposition stops and then take it out and keep it at slightly cooler temperature, occasionally soaking it again. For absolutely scientific purposes.

Yes, it does work on sketchfab models also. I used only free models as examples ( https://sketchfab.com/models/eb247f805b204de384fa75cdf9781ff8 ) and no actual code from sketchfab, only modified code from osgjs so that the (DMCA-happy) owner of that stupid site has no claim against me.

Discovered a couple more things.
With the viewer as it is in >>548084, it can only see models submitted to Sketchfab until around Oct-Nov 2014.
Everything else is unreadable, unless someone can make scripts\OSG.js to support varint encoding. I included a sample of how it's done on the original site here >>548124 and here's some documentation https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding and https://github.com/chrisdickinson/varint/ but I just can't program well enough to include this function myself.
Furthermore varint is used on Uint32Array and Int32Array but not on Uint8Array.
My attempts to fix this crap or make a Sketchfab-code based (12 FUCKING MB OF SCRIPT SHIT you kidding me?) have failed.
And it seems I'm not getting many replies here. I'll back all of this up and maybe I'll have more luck in the xentax forums.
