I am so, SO happy to see all of these rips!!

chat, i'm gonna be real: i wanted to see if i could get all of the location models up, but i tried looking at sholmes's suite, and rage quit blender almost immediately. i think some of the location asset folders include a separate model used during the dance of deduction segments, including the suite, but the material slots aren't very obvious about what texture is applied to what mesh. the suite specifically had at max 42(!!!) textures i found and converted. as much as i love these games, that is too much for me to handle. instead, i'll just share my ripping process so people can at least see what i've learned up to this point, if not also take a crack at uploading assets on their own.
so! both the 3DS and multiplatform versions of tgaa 1 and 2 were made in the mt framework engine, and many of their assets are saved in .arc files. to open said files, you need a program like kuriimu2 look inside and extract the assets. the version i use for the chronicles version is on the internet archive: https://archive.org/details/tgaac-modding-kit
for locations specifically, they're found in the path nativeDX11x64\GO\place. GO is adventures/tgaa 1, and BB is resolve/tgaa 2. kuriimu2 can convert the textures just fine. what's trickier is the .mod/model files. i've been jumping between 2 methods for them; one is using a 3DS max script found here: https://github.com/tge-was-taken/umvc3-tools, with instructions found here: https://github.com/light8227/Ace-Attorney-Tools
the other method was using revillib, specifically dragging the .mod files i found to the .bat file named "mod_to_gltf": https://github.com/PredatorCZ/RevilLib. i really like the latter method for efficiency, and put up with the former method for accuracy when i import the gltf files and manually add the textures in blender. it's... it's a whoooole thing, man. that's why i write instructions like this to begin with, if i actually remember to write them at all lmao

okay, now that the evidence models are up, i'd like to make a quick note about them:
in other to make those renders and model previews as accurate as i could to the games, i connected the image texture nodes for every model to the material output node, like this:

for models that use transparency, however, i never fully figured that out, and it depends on the model itself. for many of them, this setup worked fine for me:

and for others, i just kept the principled bsdf node in the middle and connected the alpha input and output. the bottles are especially annoying to deal with in regards to transparency, so they're the least accurate of the bunch. i still tried to make them look presentable at the loss of their transparency with the model previews. otherwise, that should be everything :)
