Equipment Model Extraction for 3D printing

[Beldon]

I am trying to pull some equipment files out and convert them to .obj and .stl for 3D printing.

I have had limited success with troll and gnoll models and wanted to try something a bit easier.

I am looking for model - IT10003. I believe it is a Luclin Mallet, but not 100% sure.

I found an old set of files that appear to have been from a team trying to convert EQ stuff into Unity. Seems like that project has halted...

If anyone can point me to where I can find this file - I would greatly appreciate it.

Just before I start actually looking you're talking about this one, correct?

Yes sir - That is the one. Hoping I can get it with the skins, so I have the face on it. But anything will help.

Those are most of the weapons loading right there from my globalload.txt (some of them are just global files that contain more than just weapohs though).

I would guess its in one of the global equips as its a luclin model but ya never know. I'm sure there's someone who would be able to find it easier than I but this list should at least get you started.

It's gonna be lower down the list than higher if that makes sense.

Thank you! The program I am currently using is EQG Weapon Model Importer. It only sees .eqg files. So with most of these being .s3d extensions - I am guessing that is why I cannot find it...

I will have to try and work through that. Thank you again!

Ah I see.. you might get a better answer on the Discord I'm sure there's people that know much more than me about breaking down the texture files.

If you actually end up 3D printing it i'd love to see the results though.

There is a model viewer / exporter called Kaiyodo's Model Viewer
Which deals with s3d files, it is old, but may work for your purpose, as it does export to .obj files
Found a archive link to it here Link here

Good look, keep us posted

[Beldon]

Thank you! I was able to extract the mallet without skins using this program. Now to keep poking and see about getting the skins with it.

This is in gequip3.s3d. Should be in your EQ directory.

[Scorpius]

I had to have a play with this, just for fun
( never done 3D modeling and no experience with blender, so total newb at this, so is not perfect and probably a few errors )

But i think it came out ok



NB
With the s3d viewer, you can export the textures with the save s3d files button
Just need to map them to the surfaces manually

Hope you like

[Beldon]

wow this is great. Any chance you can share the file? I can totally new to the mapping surfaces.

Or if you learned via Youtube - shoot me the link

This is what I have so far

Yeah nps, will PM a link to the blender file, as i say total newb so check over / change before trying to 3D print as probably not ready for that yet, love to see the results when done

Here is updated version, tried to make a little more like the in game one


And yeah, Watched a few YouTube videos on it, been a fun learning curve

[Beldon]

Still need to work on the design for the hammer head, but looks good

Looking Good, even if you cant get the textures on the print

Nice Job
