Hi there, I exported Ada's model by using RE4UHD Toolset by Son of Persia and imported the .obj file into Blender. It seems the model's mesh is not continuous and separated into too many parts. I know I can merge the vertices by distance in Blender. I just want to ask is this normal? Is this caused by toolset? I don't think CAPCOM model the character by so many discontinuous parts. Thank you This part only contains 4 vertices...

Ok, I see.
I use Blender with Blender Source tools add-on and import .smd file, the mesh is continuous. However, there's no materials in .smd file. How can I import .smd file with materials?

It's good that you figured out that you need to import .smd model instead of .obj model.
In fact, the .obj file is useless (I mean the one generated by BIN tool, not in general). It is only useful if you want to generate a new .mtl file (that means you can export your model as .obj, so that a .mtl file is generated. The tool will read .mtl but not .obj)
Note: If you didn't do any change to textures, do not change the .mtl that already generated by the tool (to make your life easier)
About materials, all models in game are linked to materials in ImagePackHD folder
(I think Ada model is Pl0b)??
so search for 0100000b.pack, unpack this file to have your textures
please tell me if you don't know about unpacking textures
about the mesh, it is okay to use merge. Moreover, it's okay to separate each triangle to different mesh. You can do anything, don't worry about it.

I can see in your picture that you already have materials?
press (z) in your keyboard, select (material review 2)

Nice to meet you CORAZON and thanks for your help!
I know how to extract textures, learnt from the tutorial. I have to open .tpl file and find the image pack number.
The weird thing is that materials are imported with .obj not .smd. So there are textures with .obj file but not .smd file. I will search in the forum today...

The tool will read .mtl but not .obj) Thanks, I reread the tutorial, so the .obj file is just a side product. This makes sense that .obj's mesh is discontinuous. In fact, the mesh is so discontinuous that is has 10293 vertices before merge, and 3768 after merged. As a comparison, .smd file has 3847 vertices.

You welcome my friend and yes, .smd doesn't have materials, you have to create new ones (Go to shader, create a new material, put you texture, link it to base color)
