MDE is a model extraction tool that converts Destiny 2 dynamic models into fbx files. A dynamic model is one that is animated or is spawned in during the game. The extractor has:
- partial skeleton support (incorrect rotations)
- texture extraction, DDS -> PNG
- weighted models
- batch extraction for packages
- API hash model extraction, mainly for HD textures for API rips
Things I would like to support in the future:
- better skeleton support with correct rotations
- animations
There is no risk of a game ban by using this tool.
If you use MDE in any of your projects, it would be highly appreciated if you credit me :)
The tool requires Windows 64 bit and a Destiny 2 installation.
The tool is used via the command line:
MontevenDynamicExtractor -p [packages path] -o [output path] -n [file name] -i [input hash] -t -b [package ID] -a [api hash]
The required arguments are -p and one of -i, -b, or -a. Backslashes will not work for file paths.
- -p [packages path]: package path for Destiny 2. An example might be I:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Destiny 2/packages
- -o [output path]: the output path, by default is the current directory
- -n [file name]: the file name of the target folder and files, by default is the hash provided
- -i [input hash]: the input hash. To get hashes to extract, either use the batch command or the public sheets page
- -t: enable texture extraction
- -b [package ID]: will extract every dynamic model given for a package ID. For the package "w64_sr_combatants_01ba_4", the package ID would be "01ba"
- -a [api hash]: the api hash in numerical form, such as 748485514. Not all API hashes will work since they do not all contain API data
- -c: enable cbuffer extraction. cbuffers may provide some information about colours for custom shaders
- -s [override num]: overrides the skeleton of the extracted model. -1 is no override, 0 extracts with no skeleton, 1 with the default NPC body, and 2 with the default NPC head

it's been fun working on Destiny datamining, and I hope I can continue to work on it in the future.
