First time conversion attempt

[DinkDank]

<FF16 Benedikta Harman in G9>
Feels like I've fallen down a rabbit hole. It's really time-consuming, and the work itself is frustrating, but seeing the results makes it all worth it.

Converted from?
How did you render this?

If this is the result of just an I ray render you did a fantastic job

Yeh I thought it was a clothing convert at first and not the character but if it's the later she looks OK DinkDank. I can't pass any judgement with a Y-pose and no environment or anything going on without any context. It's like gin with nothing else in.... make her doing something.

[DinkDank]

Sorry my explanation was too vague. I converted it from raw files extracted from the game. The photo was rendered purely in Daz Iray without any post-work.

In that case I am very interested in how you did this.
If I were you I would put her up for downloading in the original content category.

Yeh with points becoming so scarce you should definitely do that. I'm sure people are looking for unique characters and not just the Daz sausage factory stuff. I'm not sure how you would get a converted character into a morph for G9, or a standalone but there must be some here who would help with that.

I'm currently thinking about creating HD morphs and maps. There's no plan to share this at the moment, but if I do decide to, it will be after everything is completed.

It looks great @dinkdank!

What program did you use to extract raw files from the game?
I'm attempting similar thing nowadays, but it doesn't work well for converting to daz...

Look nice. But does this character have a skeleton? Can you put the character in Daz in poses or animate them? I haven't found a way to import characters with a unique skeleton and animations into DAZ yet. You can import a mesh, but then you have to rebuild the skeleton yourself in DAZ.
If I can find a method to easily get my Warhammer characters into DAZ with their own skeleton and with 10 thousand animations, then I would give 300k points for this method.

I second this I've been seeing people convert game characters and I wanted to try it myself

Like a lot of people though, I feel the G8F base is a preferred option. :0/

Thank you @Worda
I used Nenkai's FF16Tools (on Github) to extract .pac files and .tex to .dds conversion. For .mdl files I used a tool posted by a user named 'id-daemon' on reshax.com.

This looks great and gives me hope as I'm looking to have a few characters converted myself.

@peepshow45 Good luck
