Places like this: - that have ripped/extracted a majority of the character models from various MGS games for example. It made quite good sense, with your explanation and the paperwork picture! I am just still puzzled. I must salute you, Sir, for you have a very down-to-earth and mortal-to-mortal way of explaining stuff - which until I read your two current posts - had me even more confused with this whole new world of 3D modeling, printing etc. Unless you are lucky and find a 3D sculptor who actually created a high res model already or is willing to create one for you, I fear the printing results of game files will be either disappointing or directly not printable as for printing certain parametres have to be fulfilled which is not nescessary if the 3D model is just for animation/game purposes ( model being 'water tight', no double sided flat surfaces, hair etc ).

To give you an idea, a high resolution sculpt in 3D has several millions of polygons to capture all the details that get sculpted into them, game meshes on the other hand are way less dense ( 100s to 1000s of polygons ) and the detail you see is basically just a detailed image on a rather 'basic' 3D model.Īll game files you can find online only will have a relatively low polycount as they are usually taken out of the games. What you see in the games are high res textures of high res sculpts on low polygon meshes. The high res models that are created for games get baked onto lower res polygon meshes so the computer or console can actually create or play animations of it. To be frank, you will most likely have a hard time finding a high res model. So, not to imprint false hope or anything in saying that it would be just plain easy to make, but it is most likely highly doable! The print itself would literally be just a plain download -> insert -> print -> done process, but as it is a 1/1 scale, and are actually hollow as for use as a full-head mask/helmet, it would have to be modded and down-scaled in order to fit a 1/6 figure body model, which is not my expertise. There actually already exist a pretty good 3D model file of Gray Fox's helmet, ripe for the download! - | Here it is painted: (not made by me or anything!). I am specifically interested in Venom Snake, MGS3 pre-patch Naked Snake, The Boss / Joy, and MGS4 Big Boss. It would just be way easier with an already-existing file though, so do let me know if you happen to stumble across such websites, or know anyone with such knowledge, thanks!

Frankly, I am not really that savvy on file types etc., but yes, it should be possible to extract 3D model files from the various MGS games themselves. Stl, but rather some type of file for use in video game modding, related to skins etc. I have stumbled across many a site with 3D MGS models, but also sites (like the one linked above) that seems to not contain 3D model files like.
