No i found it on a forum before the developers got a cease and desist order from square-enix and had to pull all links for there converter, but you know google is really good. All I'm saying.
Yeah i tend to redirect every newbie question to google.
But as you said he got a cease and desist letter, now the converter is nowhere to be found. Even if i don't need it anymore, 3DRipperDX handle s the job pretty good.
EDIT:
I saw you put a "not for noobs" in the title hi hi.
I got an idea, as you (maybe not) know, i 'm playing DQVIII now, i was wondering, if anyone knew any tools to dump the 3D models of Dragon Quest VIII? As i think it would be nice to ipport them in FFVII hi hi
