First, a little backstory: You might recall my previous blog post about how there was that Mabinogi tool which is okay at viewing but totally unreliable at transforming Mabinogi's 3D data (.frm, .pmg, etc.) into a more accessible format (.3ds). Sometimes it works; most of the time, it gives shit output. Well, I have assumed the tool has bugs in the transformation algorithm and given up on trying to make papercraft models straight from the game's 3D data, which brings us to the following good news...
Good news, everyone! I have come upon this other tool pmgプチツールず, which has a functionality to take as input a .frm and a .pmg, and produce as output a .mqo, for editing with Metasequoia, and hey that's what I have been using! Moreover, in this format, I can also apply the textures directly from the game, and thus get the exact 3D model straight from Mabinogi!
Well, now that I can do that, there are a few things from Mabinogi that I got interested to consider exporting to a workable papercraft model. One of them is the imp. Imps are cool. Banner Imps are even more awesome.
Here's a video of an imp beating an imp in Mabinogi. Sorry, this is the most close-up video of an imp I could find. Also, it kinda shows how stupid Mabinogi is.
