its a shame we dont have more crossover games like this

you're welcome, but i personally assume that a lot of people didn't know or went inactive before providing an answer, you know what i mean?
i really like this game, so i'm happy to share what i've learned from uploading some character models that weren't already on the site ^_^

thank you! no one here really likes answering questions

because none of the older comments mention it, i might as well: the models are extracted using a program called metanoia: https://github.com/Ploaj/Metanoia
before that, though, the game file itself has to be dumped first. any recent 3DS emulator should have the option to dump the romfs. in the dump, there should be a file called vs1.fa. that needs to be dragged into the program kuriimu2: https://github.com/FanTranslatorsInternational/Kuriimu2
you'll know it worked if you see a bunch of subfolders. character models are in a folder named "chr", but if you want all the files, right click the topmost folder and click "extract". i personally made a folder called "plvsaa models" so it's easy for me to find. finally, it's as simple as dragging any file with the .xc extension into metanoia, clicking file -> export model, and saving it as whatever format type you want from the options given in the dropdown menu. imo, .dae is the safest pick unless the model has no rigging. if that's the case, export it as .obj. regardless, as long as you export the models with its materials and textures, you should be all good to go :D

@yukinomose her close-up model has no legs, the one with the full body is a low-poly version used when the camera is zoomed out in trials

the Jean Greyerl model is incomplete, but I see a full model ( with legs ) of her character ingame, its possible to get full model ?

How does one rip from this game? I'd love to get Edgeworth on the site.

Uhm, so how does one rip from this game? I don't believe there are any public tools still...I wanted to get the model of the Storyteller

Phoenix doesn't export correctly and Maya's UVs are broken on her hair.

I'll be honest, i kind of lost hope, is there anyone willing to rip and post Phoenix or Maya's models?

Yeah, all these models are from the Layton part of the game... :/

Probably a bit early to be mentioning it, but I hope we see some ripped models from Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice some day.

Wonder when we'll get the bringer of frame-drops himself, Ser Zacharias Barnham.
Seriously did they not test the game with him on the screen? Ever?

thanks for this. hope the script is progressing well

This is amazing, thank you very much! Here's hoping we get to see the 3D models of the other Professor Layton and Ace Attorney games here soon too.

Espella and Gold layton

For which model?

Texture doesn't align for me.

rip phoenix and maya model pleasee...

I cannot possibly express how happy I am that this is finally happening
