Makiah / BotW-SBFRES-to-FBX

⚔ A repo which employs a number of useful libraries I found across the net along with some custom-written Python and MAXScript to facilitate batch export of Nintendo SBFRES compressed files to FBX files (for use in Unity, for instance). DISCLAIMER: I do not condone the unauthorized replication of files provided by employing this script!

Add support for files that have both Tex1 and Tex2 image sbfres and files that have only Tex2 #1

There are certain models in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that use more than one texture archive in the form of Tex1 and Tex2. There are also other models in said game that use just the Tex2 archive strangely enough. So if this project is still being developed for, can this functionality please be added? It would be very helpful as extracting the models from this game is time-consuming as it is. If you need samples to work with, I can provide a few models if necessary.

Thanks for any efforts in advance. Jako

Interesting, I was under the apparently mistaken impression that Tex2 archives only provided a lower resolution mipmap for the models, and that every model had a Tex1 associated with it. That said, I haven't searched very thoroughly for exceptions, so what you're saying could well be true.

If so, I'll definitely try to add that functionality (I've been meaning to update the 3DSMax script for some time now anyway), but I can't guarantee it'll work out considering that I haven't yet seen a tutorial for doing Tex2 extraction (this could change with a bit of research), and this repo is primarily meant to automate those tutorials.

All the best! Makiah

Some of the models in the content/Model folder of BOTW's hierarchy (as well as some others) have the Tex1+Text2 configuration. I have linked a ZIP with the Tex1-only, Tex1+2, and Tex2-only BMS scripts as well as the R6 version of the BFRES importer script. BFRES.zip Can't wait for a new version! Got a big porting project that needs this and it will be a big help!

P.S. The only difference in the model pipeline from having just .Tex2 or ones that have both Tex1+2 are that you use one of the other specified scripts on the appropriate files to rip the textures (for example, open quickBMS, choose Tex1+2 script, choose the Tex1 and Tex2 *.bfres files, wait, PROFIT). Other than that it's the same.

Oh, interesting! In retrospect I think I remember seeing this, but for some reason RTB's QuickBMS script didn't work with that script selected (maybe he's updated it recently). I think that it'd be an easy fix, but I probably won't get to it until later this week at min, so feel free to clone it and maybe try changing that script parameter in the meantime.

OK man, so excited!

@JakoNintenCraft finally got the chance to work on this again, but Tex2 files still aren't supported in the MAXscript that I'm using (I didn't develop it), and I doubt they will be as Tex2 typically just contains mipmaps. I'd suggest you look into https://github.com/KillzXGaming/Smash-Forge if you still want this functionality, I think that KillzXGaming is currently working on that but it's still a WiP last I tested.
