OpenIV can export a YDD file to its own OpenFormats (files with extensions like .ODD). Then, using the GIMS Evo plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max, you can import that .ODD file into 3ds Max and export it as OBJ from there. please tell me:
Open the RPF Explorer within CodeWalker, locate your YDD file, right-click, and export directly to open formats like DAE (Collada) or OBJ. 2. OpenIV with 3ds Max / Blender Plugins
A prototype improved converter was tested against a legacy converter using three test YDD files.
If you want to customize these files further, please tell me:
