Hi friends
Have you seen this new free tool at http://www.vanishingpoint.biz/freestuff.asp?StartNo=421 ?
A geometry stripper to divide a pp2 into a pp2 and external obj.
There were tools like this around before, but not free, so I made it manually in a text editor til now
Having an external geometry has a lot of advantages. You save space saving cr2s with props parented. You can easyly remap the prop. You have a geometry for making morphs at hand etc...

Well spotted !!

I've just found it among Renderosity freebies, have not tried it yet...

It looks like a very useful utility, it may mean we can rescue a lot of 'clothing props' from old P3 characters and PZ3 scenes. IIRC, Anthony Appleyard wrote a similar, command-line version, but that needed a large run-time C++ package...

Um, I've realised that, as I have no intention of Animating my scenes, I may be able to use parented rather than conforming items. I'm building a 'wardrobe' of specialised clothing props, and I keep finding interesting objects that are very difficult to retrieve...

Hey ! One of my old archives from ~2004 has Mordikar's P4F and P4M armour !! As they stand, or as carriers for props, there are several nice components...

I've also noticed that LEET has some smart P4F clothes freebies at EvilInnocence site. I have not tried them yet, and they're flagged as P5, so P4 may baulk...

Thank you Andreas ,I think the same, it can open a world of new possibilities   I never tried to extract the obj from the pp2

Good to know we have this as well. Thank you!     

It's still there, as is a bunch of classic freebies...


Added: Anthony Appleyard did a free utility that could 'mine' an RSR for its .OBJ. It's still available on his 'Buck Rogers' sites...
