D2StaticExtractor (DSE)

Charm exists and is a better tool than this.

DSE is a static model extraction tool that converts Destiny 2 static models into fbx files. A static model is any model that does not move, is not animated, or doesn't have a skeleton.

DSE only supports Destiny 2 versions past 3.0.0.1 (Beyond Light) as of now.
Textures only work past 4.0.0.1 (TWQ), unless you usea previous release.

I will try to add support for these in the near future:

• Correct UV transforms (just a bit of scaling & positioning now!)
• Correct vertex normals
• Vertex color
• Full working LOD culling (working on it!!)
• Seperating models by material used (also working on it!)

Far-off goals:

• Loadzones
• Pre-BL
• Destiny 1

There is no risk of a ban by using this tool.

Usage

The tool requires Windows 64 bit and a Destiny 2 installation.

The tool is used via the command line:

D2StaticExtractor.exe -p [packages path] -o [output path] -i [singular hash] -b [package id] -t -l

The required arguments are -p, -o and one of -i or -b.

• -p [packages path]: package path for Destiny 2. An example might be "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Destiny 2/packages"
• -o [output path]: the output path
• -i [input hash]: the input hash. To get hashes to extract, either use the batch command or ask others i guess (look for a google sheet posted in ripping sometime)
• -t: enable texture extraction
• -b [package ID]: will extract every static model given for a package ID. For the package "w64_venus_300_2", the package ID would be "0300"
• -l: Disables hacky LOD culling

Thanks

Getting to this point in datamining, and this project, wouldn't have been possible without the support from these (and many more) people's support:

• 42
• Monteven
• MrAir
• BIOS
• HighRTT
