Tom nook as neighbor?

[sxore]

Any way to do this? Where is his 3d model aka prototype and texture kept?

Which game?
I.e. DS/Wii not Animal Crossing :L

However the answer to your question is much the same - It should be possible to copy the model but that would require you to know where it's stored, as I understand it there aren't any tools that will just scan through your iso or nds dump of your game and render the models (texture less or otherwise) I haven't made any great research into this but if it was as easy as this to do then people would be doing more advanced model editing.

However you are saved, I think, by the neighbour editor if you are on a Wii game, with some screen shots and experimentation you should be able to create a fairly convincing Tom Nook from another squirrel/fox like species.

P.S. This is perhaps a more pleasing solution anyway as your friends on other Wii games over wifi will be able to view your masterpiece.

Cheers,

Several questions.
I assume you mean AC:CF for the Wii, and using regular gamesave hacking (using NPC tool)
(NOTE: more things are possible with ISO editing, or tricky runtime USB Gecko tricks on the Wii, or similar ROM hacking tricks on the DS for AC:WW)

But sticking to NPC_Tool:
The NPC characters available for customization use different 3D models, which are hard coded in the game.
NPC_Tool lets you tweek the textures, but not the 3D models: http://www.aibohack.com/wii/accf_npctex.htm

The 'special' NPC characters like Nook use different 3D models so a 100% texture mapping is not possible.

Someone did use NPC Tool to recolor one of the regular NPC models to look a lot like Nook (check the Neighbor sharing thread here, and also the ACC AnimalCrossingCommunity forum if interested).

> Where is his 3d model aka prototype and texture kept?
If you know how to rip and dump ISO images, you can find the 3D models and textures in the "/Npc/Special" folder.
There are some tools that dump these files (especially for Mario Kart hacking)
FWIW: my tool "LMT" (lame model tool) will dump some of these as well, but the texture rendering is not perfect.

The special models have a weird naming scheme. It was discussed earlier for runtime hacks (see this thread for details: http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.ph...,1856.225.html )
NOTE: This lets you play around with Special characters (eg: http://www.aibohack.com/wii/recess.htm ) - but won't turn them into true neighbors.
