tazpn\'s DAO Tools 1. 3 ===================== This packages includes an command line application for converting Dragon Age models from the native format to something that can be manipulated or used a reference for non-derivative works. Currently the package only converts from native MMH files to FBX, 3DS, DAE, OBJ formats which are probably the most widely interopable formats used in the industry. Included is a viewer largely derived from the Autodesk FBX SDK modified slightly to support DDS files and loading MMH files directly. Enjoy! Quick Start: 1. Use daocmd.exe or ErfEditor.exe to unpack ERF and RIM files in Dragon Age\\packages\\core\\data > daocmd erf \"%ProgramFiles%\\Electronic Arts\\Dragon Age Origins\\packages\\core\\data\\modelhierarchies.erf\" > daocmd erf \"%ProgramFiles%\\Electronic Arts\\Dragon Age Origins\\packages\\core\\data\\textures.erf\" > daocmd erf \"%ProgramFiles%\\Electronic Arts\\Dragon Age Origins\\packages\\core\\textures\\high\\texturepack.erf\" 2.

Known Issues: - While the tools aim to support widely supported formats 3DS, FBX, DAE these formats are not really transportable across in the various 3d modeling packages in practice. Useful information is frequently lost. - My experience is that XSI, blender, 3ds max, MotionBuilder cannot really import or export the files properly. This seems likely to mostly due to li
