I would like to extract and use some 3d ship models and skins for some artwork.
I have read about TriExporter, however has the new prime cache settings with DOD changed the location or the way the files are read?
When i set the location of the Eve Folder (being in ...steam/steamapps/common/eveonline) no files are showing. ( i also tried selecting the res folder)
is it still possible to extract ship models and textures using triexporter? if not, how can it be done.

thank you. I can access the models, but there only seems to be 1 texture file that gives details. But no colour/skin files.
Are they located in another folder, or has ccp new skinning process changed this?

looks like the only texture files are for the detail.
I selected the model, then double clicked the gf6_t1_ar.dds file twice. It added the base details, but no color skin.

When trying to add another file, it pops up saying "You have to remove one of the textures to add another"
I was able to export the file, and it makes a PNG of the base detail.
But where do I find the actual coloured skins, or even the new Ship skins?

I've done that.
I used the Nvidia DDS Utility to break up the files and get the individual TGA files.
But when opening in Photoshop, it's still the same detail only. No skin.

I'm guessing it is something to do with the new process of skinning ships. Either new file structure or something.

So I unpacked all the associated texture packs (_ar, _no, _pmdg)
They we're all converted to TGA files using RGBA channels.
_no texture pack
_pmdg tetxure pack
I thought I was familiar with photoshop, but obviously not. How are these channels converted into the final ship skins?
Or is photoshop not the program to use, and instead use GIMP?

yeh i used the DDs Utility. Just set the files to open with readdxt.exe and its breaks up all the files. the first file, numbered 00 is the main file. 1024x1024 with RGBA channels.
From reading the dev post, it looks like the new filing system is using 3 different sets for different textures (roughness, dirt in the future etc)
But im thinking that the SKINs, being a new addition and something that is added to game over time is located somewhere else as a new file thing.
I emailed CCP a while back about this. They simply said "it's possible" haha

Any new information about this? It looks like the RGB channels are adding the texture/grime to the hulls, but no actual color.
The new SKINs must be kept somewhere as a separate file. Anyone know the location?

yeh, this is exactly the result i'm getting.
The roughness and albedo maps produce the textures like grime etc, but there is no colour.
I guess you could try "coloring in" the albedo map, or adding a 'multiply' layer over the top. But I have never been able to get a good result.
