Hello there! Excuse me lingo and / or me being an idiot as this is my first time trying to do stuff with models.
I've gotten the models from a game called "Endless Ocean: Blue World", and I was trying to open them. However, every program that I've tried was not able to open them. Format is a .mdl.
What program should I use to look at .mdl files from a Wii game made in 2009?

Decompile with crowbar or something? Is it source engine based of some sort?

I believe Source was never ported to Wii.
Show us some samples, mdl is quite a generic extension.

Hi, sorry for the late responses.
https://mega.nz/#F!uz4gHaoY!69pFYys7BEo13ToSkEbHIA -unbuilt model
https://mega.nz/#!6z5lmBwI!dGN6u5aMx1-I ... gNyNn1VY-I - built model
RF2MD3 is attached in front of every one of these, although I don't know what it means or what it could be.
Each .mdl has a .tdl and a .vdl file inside, if it has animations, it has a .mol.

Are you trying to reverse the data or just get the models ? If so use Dolphin emulator to snap the geo with render doc.

Game developer is Arika, from Japan. Game developers tend to write their own formats, so you should research the games that Arika has developed and see if anyone else has written tools for them. There is usually some common ground between all games a developer has written.
