 ==Step 5: Opening the model==
-If you don't have RandomTalkingBush's Pokemon MaxScript yet, make sure you grab it from here: https://mega.nz/file/HlpFXYDY#G9WcLuZupaCwboW3HRMoUS89oN-NQAK2UskZs-9rJOs <br>

 Move the .gfbmdl file from the folder the .dds textures were in to the same folder as your png textures. You'll then want to open up '''3DS Max''' and go '''Scripting > Run Script''' and open the Pokemon Switch MaxScript.

 ==Step 6: Rotation and resetting the Bind Pose==
 Select the root bone, in my case it's "pm0644_00", and rotate it 90 degrees on the X axis.
-Now for every mesh in the scene, go to its "Skin" modifier and scroll down to "Advance Parameters" and click "Save".

Go back to "Advance Parameters" but this time instead of pressing save, press load and select the envelope you saved earlier. A "Load envelope" window should pop up. Press "Match by name" then press "Ok". Repeat this multiple times for the rest of the meshes until you've done them all.
+[[File:PokemonSwSh Model Ripping Tutorial (11).png|left|250px]]
 ==Step 7: Exporting==
 Once you've reset the bind pose on all the meshes, you can now export your model as .fbx and .dae, go to the folder you created earlier that you put the textures folder inside of, and export them into that folder and you should be done and ready to render then submit! I highly suggest installing OpenCollada and exporting with that instead of the default collada exporter included with 3DS Max due to compatibility issues with other programs.
