How to Rip SketchFab Models from 2017: A Step-by-Step Guide

=====================================================

Introduction

----------

Sketchfab is a popular platform for sharing and selling 3D models, but sometimes you might encounter difficulties in extracting these files. Fortunately, with the right tools and techniques, it's possible to rip Sketchfab models from 2017.

Prerequisites

------------

Before we dive into the instructions, make sure you have:

1. A computer running Windows (Windows XP or later) or a Mac operating system.

2. BlueStacks 2 or Nox emulator installed on your device for running Android apps.

3. Ninja Ripper and Tpose Ripper tools downloaded from reputable sources.

Ripping SketchFab Models

------------------------

### Step 1: Download the Model

1. Go to 'Sketchfab.com'(http://sketchfab.com) using a web browser and sign in with your account credentials if necessary.

2. Search for the desired model by entering its ID or name in the search bar at the top of the page.

3. Click on the model's thumbnail image to view its details page.

### Step 2: Extract Model Files

1. Right-click (or hold down Ctrl + right-click) anywhere inside the browser window and select 'Inspect Element' from the context menu (in Chrome/Chromium).

Alternatively, press F12 or Fn+F12 on Windows/Linux or Option + Command + I on Mac to open Developer Tools.

2. In the Console panel that appears at the bottom of the page, type `console.log(document.querySelector('script'id='skf-3d-viewer''').outerHTML);` and hit Enter.

### Step 3: Extract Model Data

1. Copy everything between tags from the console output into a text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

2. Use regular expressions to extract the following data:

- model_id (e.g., `model_1234567890123456`)

- version

3. Save these values somewhere safe for later use.

### Step 4: Rip Model Files

1. Launch BlueStacks 2 or Nox emulator on your device and sign in with a Google Play Store account if prompted.

2. Download Ninja Ripper from the App Store (free).

3. Open Ninja Rip / Extractor within BlueStackS/NoX.

### Step TPose Extraction

If you only want to extract pose data without full model files, follow these additional steps:

1. Launch Tpose Ripper on your device and grant necessary permissions if prompted.

2. Select 'Extract Pose' from the main menu in Tposeripper app.

3. Choose a folder location where you'd like to save extracted poses (e.g., /sdcard/TPoseRips).

4. Close Tposeripper after extraction is complete.

Troubleshooting

-------------

If none of these steps work for your specific model, try:

- Clearing browser cache and cookies before attempting again.

- Using an alternative web browser like Firefox or Safari instead of Google Chrome/Chromium.

- Disabling any ad blockers or extensions that might interfere with the ripping process.

-------

While extracting Sketchfab models can be challenging due to their proprietary nature, following these instructions should help you achieve your goal. Remember always respect intellectual property rights by only sharing or redistributing ripped content for personal use only unless explicitly permitted otherwise by its creators.
