How do I 3D print from Icon?

[jukehero461]

Hey folks! The holidays are coming up, and my family is a big fan of this game. I want to print out some of their characters using ICON, but I don't know how. I tried following the OpenGL and Ogle instructions from 2012, but I think that might only work for the actual client? Maybe?

If someone has a clue as to what I need to do, or can point me to appropriate instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

To specify, I don't know how to get the .obj file I need.

Just started trying this myself.

Apparently you can't get 3D capture of costumes directly from Icon itself.

You have to get them from either Paragon Chat, or a demo playback.

I'm afraid I am completely inexperienced with this sort of thing. How do I properly use a demo playback?

[Garble]

Two ways to produce a Demo file:

• Log in to Paragon Chat,
• Pick the costume you want and the pose you want
• Type into the chat window /demorecord FILENAME
• When you are done recording type /demostop

For more info look here http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Demo_Recording

OR

• Save the costume you want from either Icon or Paragon Chat (or use a costume file if you saved one from the old game)
• Upload it to this site: http://demolition.mcuznz.ca and follow the instructions

To play a demo file (on a PC, i've never found out how to play one on a Mac)

• Find cityofheroes.exe on your computer
• Right click and select Create Shortcut
• Right click on the Shortcut that is produced and select Properties
• In the window that opens up there will be a field called Target add after "cityofheroes.exe" -useTexEnvCombine -demoplay FILENAME (add this outside of the quotation marks)
• Apply and then close all that and then click on the shortcut (you may also want to rename it DemoPlay or something.)

To capture a 3D model.

• Run the demoplay
• Follow these same directions: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,4947.0.html
• The obj file will be found in a new folder titled Frame_(Number) in the same place as your other COH stuff.

Okay, have made some progress: I am making demorecordings and opening them in the client via the shortcut, but for some reason I can't capture the .obj file. I've tried editing the configuration to change the key sections, but its no good. Perhaps I've installed something wrong?

Bit of an old post, but I think this thread will be useful: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,4947.0.html

I have tried everything in this post: http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,4947.0.html and tried using demofiles.

GLIntercept and OGLE capture the characters all disconnected and crushed. I have tried using the plugin:

         ExtensionOverride = ("GLExtOverride/GLExtOverride.dll")
        {
   RemoveExtensions = (GL_ARB_vertex_program, GL_ARB_fragment_program, GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object);
         }

with the -useTexEnvCombine added to the start up, but when ExtensionOverride in on, CoH crashes on startup. So far I cannot find a way to either get the .obj file with the character not disconnected and crushed, or when the ExtensionOverride plug-in is on to get CoH to start up.

I know at some point CoH started to use directx but I can not get 3D Ripper to work either.
