Character Model Library: Tekken 4's Nina Williams

With smart people on the internet constantly finding new and improved ways to access videogame data of formerly unknown formats and/or unintelligible code I decided it's time to collect, store and document the many incarnations Nina Williams went through over the years, in a convenient way that would let me easily access and view her different 3D models.

WIP 002 - Extracting Death by Degrees' Nina Williams

WORK.IN.PROGRESS My initial project - crafting my own Nina Williams character model - has just come to a halt. Having finished work on the face and hair meshes, and their respective textures (I previewed a WIP of the face texture in my last post) I was looking for a way to take a few good shots of Nina's character model in Death by Degrees, for reference purposes.
