🎵 "Are ya ready, Miis? Start a-rippin'!" 🎵 ~ Nancy Sinatra (1965).

Hey hey hey, model rippers! Ah, it's been one heck of a month. How are things holding up for you guys? Dazz, for one, is here with another bish-bash-bosh of approvals! We've all chipped in where we can, but he's really been the ultimate powerhouse that we've needed lately. Nothing short of an extra thanks to our handy 3D Model Viewer & Editor – a big help for staff and submitters alike!

Right off the comically large bat, we've got over 500+ personal rips from Dazz himself! Vagrant Story for PlayStation and Dark Cloud 2 for PS2, respectively. Next up is sutinoer's 240+ Fallout: New Vegas rips, followed by 200+ SpongeBob models from... Roblox? Uh, good on OggySimpsonsFan333 for finding out those sub-games even existed. SpunchBop Big Guy Pants OK. On the Ninty side of things, Nintendo's finally released the long-awaited Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream - with a slew of models ripped by Centrixe the Dodo (that's Mii!) Man, I've genuinely waited years for this moment! And thanks to hellprawn, we've got some clothing from the Japan-exclusive first installment of the series: Tomodachi Collection. It's a famiily reunion! We've also got a ton of equipment and objects from the Armored Core 2 games; courtesy of the good DrDoctor. I think I'm getting some industrial vibes there? Some more sizable contributions include models from Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble, the Evangelion series, Sonic Colors Ultimate, Sonic Rumble Party, several Ace Attorney games (yippee!), Dokapon Kingdom, LittleBigPlanet 2, Another Code: R, and a neat little low-poly Browser game called KoGaMa. A special shout-out to Somwonere as well, because boy, have they been on a model-ripping roll! Last but certainly not least, we've got exactly a dozen Custom models to check out! I'm really digging Mario's SM64 head in the Brawl style. Funny subversion of expectations there, Peardian! Y'know, that CommanderVideo fellow by flinsky looks oddly familiar, too. Wonder where I've seen 'em...

Submitters, here's a tip from me: make some good use of our 3D Model Viewer & Editor! A part of Dazz's Tools, the viewer can export preview models via .GLB, test out bone rigging, verify textures are loading, and render out custom-angled icons. Plus, there's lots of smaller options available to enhance your preview models and icons! Not only that, but the viewer is designed to detect a variety of problems or quirks you may have missed during the ripping process. The most common issues tend to be broken texture paths and faulty weighting. Using this tool to improve the quality of your submissions will help move the queue along much faster!
