[Guide] Ripping models from Sketchfab

OK, by trial and error I found out that Sketchfab/ArtStation Ripper by revetix can still successfully rip static models with any poly count. Looks like last time, when I tried to rip animated and static models, by mistake I did it only in Rigged and Animated modes (or there was some kind of bug). It doesn't matter what you rip - it's conversion method that matters. Even if you're ripping static, you still get an empty skeleton if you're using anything but Static mode. Strangely enough, Static mode also rips the skeleton, but without hierarchy, and doesn't try to rig model with it. It's just in the scene. Maybe there's a problem with Skin modifier now? Tool by revetix is also most comfortable method IMO. You can rip entire lists of models, entire accounts even. You can find download link of the last version of his software on ZenHax. Sadly, the author of that tool stopped updating it. With all this in mind, the paid one and it's "author" can go to hell.

I followed these methods but keep reaching a dead end with errors in the import script. I plan to use this model to make a prefab rollcage for my ae86 but am struggling to get it to import. If you or anyone else has a working method I'd be willing to compensate someone for the model.

Thank revetix#9971 on Discord (DJ Normality on ZenHax forums?), not me. Maybe with more positive feedback he'll return back to development of his ripper.

Model's a little broken and in a T-pose. Looks like it's the best we can currently get.

I'm at the end of my rope with this now, been at it for several hours. If anyone could help me out getting this I'd be so grateful.

Could I be really cheeky and ask if anyone could rip these files for me? I'd like to print them out for Xmas. I've tried the various methods but I think I'm a bit stupid as I cannot get my head around all that python stuff.

Once again, If no one's gonna work on the fix for current Skin problem - at least go thank revetix#9971 on Discord or DJ Normality on ZenHax forums. Maybe he'll find a cure for that.
