how to extract ARC files and convert to OBJ

thanks..i look forward to trying this. Do you know if the Mansion and player arc files in RE remaster HD are higher poly than the Umbrella Chronicles?

cheers

Same poly count but higher resolution textures, plus, on REHD there are only a few rooms actually in 3d, most of the areas are pre-rendered like re1, 2 and 3.

it's an image that pretends to be an 3d room, the quality of the game highly improves and the game only have to deal with monsters / players / items / moveable stuff, so it increases the game performance and the resources needed by the game are reduced, however this method requires a "mask" system, those mask are images that overlap the room BG and they will allow the player to stand behind objects and give the player the feeling of depth, walking and standing behind a table, chair, corpses, etc. . plus, it needs a boundary system, almost all of these games, but this style of pre-rendered images and camera angles need to fit with the boundaries even when the camera angle changes, this method is used in old games like dino crysis and resident evil, This to boost the power of the playstation back then, but they kept the idea on the Remake, as the result, they created one of the best looking games of those years.

here's an example, if you look on the paintings room .arc you'll probably not find any room model, just the paintings because they are 3d objects, and here's the proof:



no paintings, only a hole where the game will insert the model.

what amazes me and most of the people is that those rooms needed so much dedication on their making, personally, as an ex RE2 modder, i would call this work pure art.
