I apologize for returning to the topic:
I downloaded Maya, but I can't figure out where to get the models from the game. Should I look for them in the data folder?
Congratulations!
The models in the game are located in data.pak - bin - geometries.
But they are in the game engine's format, but there is a converter from the respected CrazyPill that allows you to get a file in WRL format.
In order to start working in Alias Maya in the direction we need, you need to install and configure it!
Then go here - http://psatkha.narod.ru/tutorial_ru.html
And you need to achieve a similar result with this model from the example!
Sincerely, Psatkha
